The atmosphere here is absolutely incredible, such a chic and stylish vibe. And the lemon drop martini? Hands down one of the best I’ve ever had!

You don't have to call me darling, but you need to drink here. Don't like gin? Let the amazing staff show options from literally around the world. The house made tonic is only a shame because they don't sell it to go.

Dealer's choice options never disappoint...they know their gin (and others).

A friendly, intimate space, with stellar service and libations.

Lovely little cocktail bar. Our bartender was SO knowledgeable and put up with our dozens of questions about the menu. I got the Paging Dr Brown per his recommendation and couldn’t have been happier. Also some of the best espresso martinis I’ve had. Note that it is small inside so seating is limited, however the barstools are extremely comfy!

Impressed with the mixologists, the liquor availability and the ambiance.
They only need more space to allow for a relaxing experience.
It’s hopping!

I visited a couple of years ago when they opened, didn't seem that great. Not much of a crowd, seemed a little too much on the dive bar side instead of an artisanal cocktail bar, and a bit grimmy. Last night I went with a friend, and was super impressed! Big difference. Place was packed with well dressed, well behaved mature customers hanging out with their dates and friends. The drinks I ordered, the seasonal "Drink Named Mark" and the hot butter apple cocktail (or something like that LOL) were outstanding. Perfect for the cold night. I really liked the vibe here. Reminded me a bit of Seven Cocktails here in Louisville and OGs like Violet Hour in Chicago.

Couple of important notes. The prices here are very fair compared to most similar establishments. Two drinks were $22. Again, these are high end drinks. Another thing, which I learned quickly, is to be patient! It might seem like you're being ignored but if they're busy, it's going to be a bit before they get to you. I watched them make the drinks and each one takes a few minutes. Some people come up to the bar and order four or five drinks for everyone. While they have three bartenders working, it's still a challenge. They will get to you. Your patience will be rewarded.

Parking: Highly advise using Lyft or Uber to avoid parking issues, not to mention being responsible.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar, should I say more?
