Upscale drinks and excellent service. You're definitely paying for quality, but it's worth it.

Loved this place! Popped in for drinks Sunday night after dinner. We sat at the bar and received fantastic service and drinks from Ahmed. I can’t remember the other staff member’s name but he was also great, and provided many recommendations for places to visit in and around St. John’s. Thanks for a great experience to end our night! A must visit in St. John’s if you like craft cocktails.

Ahmed and Paulina were very friendly and knowledgeable. I love this place! The cocktails are amazing, it was nearly impossible to choose one! The vibes are top tier and we will be returning!!!!

We found this place too late, but managed to get there on our last two nights in St. John's. Great drinks and great staff. Love the vibe. Definitely stop by for a cocktail and escape the George St. madness.

My friends and I really enjoyed this bar the first time we found it, however recently we’ve found the service there to be downright rude at times. Definitely not the place to bring a group of 5+. Had a friend ask them if they did any specials for birthdays and the response was extremely unprofessional and rude. I can’t see any of us going there in the future, even if the drinks were nice.

i visited for the first time last week and had a great time with a couple of friends. the service was great, especially our server who was very sweet. the drinks were really yummy if a little pricey. my only complaint would be how LOUD the music is, they blast it. i was at a small table with 4 other people and it was a struggle to hear the ones across from me. besides that, we all had a really nice time <3

As a bonafide cocktail maker/drinker/lover the classic lime daiquiri was excellent and the ‘ooh na na’ from their list was a tropical delight. Absolutely proper cocktails and the service was great. The vibe is laid back and cool and sexy and they even chilled our Fernet shots!

We discovered Papillon Cocktail Bar in an early evening on a weekday while waiting for our dinner reservations from another restaurant. We were surprised how Papillon was empty considering the vibe and atmosphere of the place was charm. The moment one walks in their doors, the music and aesthetic will immediately take one to a relaxing chill vibe. The bartender was also friendly and helpful. With plenty of options in the drink menu, the bartender was able to suggest what drinks are hitting off. I ended up with Court’s Cancelled and I think it’s well made. I also find that the prices are fair. I look forward to coming back to this bar the next time I’m in St.Johns.

Best cocktails and affordable prices! Not to mention the vibe, only thing is I wish the place was bigger but that adds to the charm.

What an amazing place for a cocktail. The atmosphere was great, the service was amazing and the drink was top notch. I suggest the Beet Me Up Scottie, it was the best cocktail I have ever had.
