Absolutely my favorite place to bring anyone I am hoping to impress. Cocktails are amazing and adventurous. The scent pairings elevate the whole experience. The staff and owners are the best. 10/10

Castalia is an intimate tour-de-force in the incredible heights of artistry that you can take the sensory experience of a cocktail. You can taste the care and intent in every glass and the transformative nature of the accompanying scents.You owe it to yourself to go - even if you don't drink, their full menu is offered in non-alcoholic formats that taste nearly the same.

An all around unique and memorable experience, knowledgeable and patient staff, and of course wonderful cocktails and scents. My dad bought the scent paired with his cocktail. A great memory for all of us.

Such a small intimate experience. We did a bar seating of the eight drink cocktail tasting. Absolutely amazing. The detail and ingredients put into each cocktail was so impressive and pairing it with a fragrance was a new way to test my senses. Can't wait for the next menu to go back again.
I don’t often make reviews, but I felt obligated by the outstanding cocktails, service, and vibes. You won’t regret getting a drink (or 3)

Great concept and use of space. Fragrance shop during the day and cocktail bar at night. They match the flavours of the cocktails with their signature scents which is a pretty cool idea. The cocktails we tried were all great and they did work well with the fragrance. It’s on the bottom floor or a renovated house, has a very cool look to it and also has a few outside seats. Friendly staff, would recommend

My partner and I visited Castalia for the first time this weekend and we absolutely adore this place. The space is warm, intimate, and inviting. The service is top notch and everyone has such pleasant and infectious energy. The cocktails, fragrances, charcuterie were fantastic!!! The price point for everything is incredibly reasonable which is an added bonus. Castalia is a sensualist's dream come true. I can't wait to visit again.

This review is long overdue! My husband and I have had the privilege of patronizing castalia/sfumato since opening and have had the pleasure of watching the knowledgeable staff and owners build an amazing business. Kevin, Jane, and Kyle are masters of their craft and I not only love existing in the space, but getting to know the people who make castalia so fantastic.Eventhough I'm sure they interact with thousands of customers, I always feel special coming here through their drink recommendations, knowing my preferences, and the conversations we have. Castalia strikes a beautiful balance of class and approachability.The shear complexity and styling choices of the interior is next level and same applies to their cocktails and fragrances.This place is a treasure and a fixture of midtown. Congrats to this business, I love it so much!!!
