It is a cocktail bar with various styles of cocktails and drinks. I’ve tried off the menu but often times I request the bartender to make a drink for me based on what I like. The drink always turns out fantastic!
There are seats at the bar, tables in the back and a patio during the warmer months.
There’s a snack menu to accompany your drinks if you’re feeling peckish.
The bar ambiance is moody with low lighting and a cozy intimate feel.

Close your eyes, let go of the reins, and let them make a drink for you that will peel open your soul like an orange peel and squeeze all the juice out.

Showed up there 10 minutes after 4PM and saw someone in there behind the bar. Knocked several times. Stood around for another few minutes (in -15 degree weather) and was deliberately ignored. We ended up leaving at 4:25. And yes, they’re supposed to open at 4PM. Terrible customer service.

I had a really great experience at the bar with Aidan (I think that's his name) absolutely killing it with some drinks that were very unique and exactly what I was hoping for. Can't wait to come back next time I'm in town!

Wonderful bar with an extensive cocktail list, friendly staff, and an amazing atmosphere. I love stopping by here whenever I get the chance. It's easy to get lost in the menu and explore many different cocktails. If it's overwhelming, you can simply ask one of the mixologists to make a drink based on your favourite liquor, and they will do the spectacular!

It got a two star exclusively for the menu, although the page showing where drinks range for flavor profile couldn't be more incorrect. Never have I ever went to a cocktail bar and got a drink without a garnish. Now a garnish definitely isn't a deciding factor, but man oh man the drinks were a huge disappointment. The atmosphere doesn't make sense with the music, the menu and atmosphere. When we came in it wasn't very welcoming, when we got our drink's he didn't even say what was what, and they were so poorly made you couldn't honestly tell the difference. We are cocktail snobs so it does take something amazing to impress us but this is honestly up there with the worst places we been. Drinks were extremely unbalanced. Although it's quite possible we came on an off day. He made the two drinks in about 60 seconds. For future guests sake I hope it was just an off night. Don't let the cool menu fool you. Save your time and money and literally go anywhere else. I guarantee it can't be worse and if it was an off night I can't say it's worth the risk. It was pretty bad. Most of the photos are older photos. Anyway highly recommend GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

The drinks have very interesting ingredients, like “banana acid” and “mustard-infused vodka”, which was super cool, and one of the drinks was served in a coconut which I loved. Yet they had not many simple ingredients, like grenadine or Sprite, to make popular and more cost-friendly drinks. Also, the snacks (popcorn and chocolate-covered pretzels) are plastic wrapped, which we later realized might be because they have roaches — we saw one on the table.

Stopped in to this place while out with friends. The drinks were amazing, some made with items you would never think to put in a cocktail! Their new menu was interesting and delicious! The two mixologists were knowledgeable not only about cocktails but about the area and history. We asked for recommendations for our next stop and their recommendations did not disappoint. I love when local businesses support other local businesses! We will be stopping in again on our next trip to Hamilton! It did not disappoint!
Ps. It was clean and the washroom was also clean
