Perfect little cocktail bar with great service, great drinks, and a great atmosphere inside and out. The outdoor area is my favorite place in RAD. Grab a Paloma and sit outside to people watch.Vegetarian options: No meat in these drinksParking: Lots of street parking all around the barWheelchair accessibility: Roll on in!

Dark, divey place with good drinks. Wasn't too crowded when we stopped in. I thoroughly enjoyed the music choice on the night we stopped in as well.

We were looking for someplace to grab a drink after our bike tour and found this speak-easy inspired hidden bar. The bartender Peter was fantastic. Great drinks and recommendations. If you like to avoid cookie cutter tourist traps, stop in for a drink.

New favorite hello. Upon walking in here, It felt cool and calm and peaceful and full of history. The walls are made of stone and the lights are low. It smells of essential oil and secrets. there was one bartender, but she was awesome. Super friendly and approachable, and she could read the room well. She made drinks with ease and seemed very knowledgeable There is an outside area that looks pretty adorable and nice and inside space as well. We stayed inside and I felt it was incredibly comfortable. It was like you're rich, neighbors, cozy den. Velvet chairs, and low lights galore. My Manhattan tasted great and I was surprised to find we only paid $15 for Manhattan and a beer. Drink prices are so expensive these days so that felt very fair. A delicious and delightful neighborhood spot that I can't wait to go to again.

Love the vibe of this bar and the crowd it brings. Was so excited to find it after moving here a few years ago as it reminded me of some great dives up north. Service is hit or miss however, have had great interactions with staff and on other occasions have waited nearly ten minutes before being acknowledged while the bar tender chatted with another customer at an almost empty bar. Another time I came during business hours and the doors were locked, I could see and hear staff inside and they me but again was not acknowledged. There's a fine line being the attitude being edgy and coming off rude. Its a delicate point to find being hip and inclusive and polite and this place misses it more than it nails it on that point for me.

The bartender was nice :)

Decent bar with a cool, witchy ambiance if you're into that type of vibe. The mixology is really great and you can tell the bartender cared about her craft and the service provided to others. It felt as if the crowd is of a slight pretentious attitude and so we felt more comfortable sitting outside than inside. It was almost as if we had to whisper to each other.

Walked in for two minutes and walked out. Blaring loud. No acoustic calmness on the walls and no place to sit. I hear they have great drinks though. But it was too much for me. I might try right when they open....

Sultry looking interior with great cocktails. Late hours too! Tried a shaken egg white cocktail with effervescence and was not disappointed.

Our cocktails were strangely warm and the bartenders were having a loud weird conversation about other coworkers while making our drinks. This kind of experience makes you question spending $$ on drinks out.

A phenomenal place to have a drink with friends. Friendly and welcoming bartenders will make you an absolutely delicious cocktail.
