“This is the most unique bar I’ve ever been to. What other bar has 70+ shots that offer something different?Genuinely, I’ve never been somewhere that’s been so true to their name. Also an incredibly helpful staff. They always somehow know what I haven’t tried yet. Almost like they know me on a personal basis.10/10 recommend this establish if you want a different experience from the normal boring bar scene.“

“Speakeasy vibe cocktail bar creating exceptional hand-crafted cocktails. Every drink was delicious.

Spent about 4 hours here with friends on a Saturday evening playing games.

Space is comfortable and the seating is excellent. Sound level is quiet but can get very noisy during busier times.

I’ve added this place to my Columbia favorites.“

“Chanced to eat here as a pleasant day and they had outside seating. Their caldo pollo (chicken soup) was excellent. Caldo Pollo is a sentinel dish. If a place has good caldo pollo, carnitas, and tamale it's pretty certain everything else will be good. Also had a very good torta cubano. The extra spicy salsa (you have to request) was superb. Love the staff.“

“If there’s once place in Columbus that bourbon aficionados need to go it is here. Jeff was amazing, he’s knowledgeable and friendly. Take my unsolicited wisdom with a grain of salt, I am from northern British Columbia where bar tenders/owners that personally love bourbon are not a common commodity.“

“Visited for my sister's graduation dinner. I called to make a reservation and wasn't sure what time the graduation would end so I said 5:00 PM. The graduation was quick and we got there at 4:30. Even though the initial server assigned to our table wasn't there yet, they still seated us at 4:30. The menu was large (almost too large) with a good variety. We let the server know we wanted to split the bill 5 ways and ordered drinks and then food. Everything was pleasant throughout, the food was good, and no mistakes were made. They had a Jonas Brother concert muted on the tv.
Overall, would definitely recommend!“
