That creative cocktails were great. I loved how there was no menu and the wonderful hostess just asked a few questions to get an idea of what my companion and I were in the mood for. The drinks we received were spot on. Really loved the vibe as well. Had a nice ambiance - low lit and cozy. I will def be returning.

I never write reviews like this, but I was honestly shocked by how rude the staff was here. When I arrived, I told the host/server I was meeting friends at the bar. She asked me to wait while she took an order, which was mildly annoying but understandable. When she returned, she asked again if I was meeting people, and I said yes, at the bar. She walked me in, then stopped in the narrow walkway to chat with a friend. After a moment, she looked back at me and said, “If you’re meeting people at the bar, you should probably go find them,” then turned back to her conversation. It was a confusing interaction that made me feel like I had done something wrong? It turned out my friends were actually at a bar across the street, so I grabbed them and we all came back together. We were seated and the host/server was cold but polite. After our first round, she disappeared for a while and we wanted to order again. I waved to her very mildly, nothing urgent, but she didn’t notice because she was on her phone. We waited and kept chatting. A few minutes later, I waved again, still gently and honestly a little embarrassed. She was still on her phone. I caught the eye of a blonde bartender, who was also chatting with a friend, and she just stared at me. Eventually the bartender walked over and said, “I thought I’d come over since you CLEARLY need something IMMEDIATELY,” in a very tense, sarcastic tone. The host ran over and started apologizing while the bartender rolled her eyes and walked away. My friends were stunned and actually asked me if I knew her, because it felt so personal and hostile. After that, the host suddenly became overly nice, which made it even more uncomfortable.
I work in service myself and I try to be an easy customer because I know how hard these jobs can be - but none of these people were busy. You can’t be a bar that insists on table service and then ignore your guests. And you definitely shouldn’t make people feel difficult for wanting to order. The vibe in here is nice and we would’ve stayed longer had it not become so weird. Do a little better

Great mocktails in addition to classic cocktails!
Amazing bar staff. Great for catching up with a friend or having a drink before or after dinner. No food.

What's up with their idiotic policy to wait outside the door for them to call you when there are many empty seats. Drama for no reason.
Waited for 10 minutes amd then left

Pretty cool cocktail bar in WB. No menu here you tell them what you would like in a drink and the one I got was very well made.

There’s no menu, but you tell them how would you like and they came up with a wonderful drink for you.
All of the drinks I’ve got are perfect as I told them what tastes I want. The drinks are not too strong, so you can be chilling and enjoying the moment as well.

Incredible cocktails. The service is amazing, and don’t be afraid to be honest about what you like in a cocktail. They customize everything, cocktails are $21 each and worth it.

Best cocktails I’ve had in my life. Best variations of whisky sour I’ve had!

$21 for a ‘cooking bourbon’ old fashioned made with a skynet-themed disdain by a bartender harbouring a personal Dantean darkness that, subsequently, radiated a blast area of bane around me and my best friend. This place is severely overrated, completely vibe-less and absolutely extortionate for what was truly a harrowing weekend drinks experience.

Amazing drinks!! Such a fun place if you enjoy cocktails and trust the bartenders in their work... except one thing, the service
The reason I'll never go back.. the service. The waitress/hostess was one of the most rude and standoff-ish person Ive ever encountered. She should not be in the service industry. Very cold and dry and sucked all the fun out of this type of experience. So I'd say overall, find yourself another cocktail bar- there are plenty of them with a friendly face and the good drinks.

No menu. Bartender nailed all of our drinks. All drinks are $21 each.
Fresh Kills is a swanky and cool spot for a unique drink. I wouldn't recommend getting drinks before visiting here though. We ended our night here and if I could have done it again I would have started the night here. Every drink we had was strong but pretty impressive.

No Apple Pay or touch to tap or whatever.
Boujee and think there hot which is valid bc it is very cool and hot.
Huge first date spot! Do not go alone bc it’s not a place to meet people.
However everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves just a ton of akward conversations as it is when people are meeting each other.
Cocktails were good and they make them based on preference which is awesome.
It was fine take your first date here she/he will love it and be impressed.
Samplers, alchis, and social drinkers thin ain’t your place.
Did not get food if they have it so food is a ZED.
