One of the nicest spots I’ve been to downtown. The drinks were so well made and exactly what I was looking for. The ambiance is beautiful—cozy but still lively, with music and lighting that makes you want to stay longer. The staff were really friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely coming back!

Cozy cafe-turned-bar! Spacious and pretty decent seating. Good volume for easy conversation without it feeling too quiet. Relatively casual but the drinks were good too. 11:59 and pear sour were my favourites. The melon blossom was not good at all. Do not get that one. Otherwise I would totally come back for drinks! Good menu was very limited but to be expected from a bar. I didn’t try anything as nothing really appealed to me. Overall pretty good experience.
No bill splitting for >= 6 people and 18% gratuity is included.

I made a reservation here for my brother’s birthday and the experience was extremely disappointing. When my guest arrived, the hostess told him the bar was closed for a private party. When I called, I was told there was no reservation under my name. Only after insisting did the manager say to come in.
The restaurant was overcrowded and noisy, and despite requesting a high-top table due to back surgery, I was given a regular table in the corner. The manager tried to claim it was a “misunderstanding,” but that wasn’t true — both my guest and I were told the place was closed.
This was meant to be a special evening, but it was handled poorly, with dishonesty and dismissive service. It completely ruined the night, and I would not recommend this restaurant.

It was my first time here and I knew to trust my intuition. I like that it’s hard to find because stepping in feels rewarding. They had a jazz musician playing saxophone at the hostess stand. He was great and so was the waitress and bartender. They run a tight ship if you don’t like waiting this is your place. The food and drinks are also unique and the menu is pared down which helps if you’re indecisive like me. Will be back and will tell people about this gem of a place!!

I hosted an event here for Hosper Mortgage. Have to say the place is amazing! The drinks are amazing. Kate is wonderful, she helped me so much throughout the event and was very accommodating to our needs. Would love to host an event here again.

We held a private event at 11:59 for our wedding after party. Coordination of the event was seamless, as we were able to align on details such as minimum spend, any required rentals and food options.
For the night of the event, we appreciated the professionalism and flexibility of the staff. The atmosphere was amazing and our guests really enjoyed their time.

Hosted a work anniversary event at this location, all the staff were wonderful! Kate was incredible during the planning and setup, and the bar and wait staff were all excellent! We had about 40 attendees but there was plenty of space for a lot more people!
Great location for a private event, brilliant cocktail menu, and good food! We will definitely host more events here!

Went here for a work event and service and vibes here were great!
11:59 was the perfect cocktail bar/lounge for a girls night! I came here after dinner and the vibe and aesthetic was exactly what I was looking for - quiet and dreamy, and ideal for late night chats. The cocktails were amazing - our favourites were the Amethyst and Coconut Noir (the best espresso martini!). For food, we had the charcuterie board and beef sliders, both of which were great bites to snack on! Can’t wait to come back to try their other cocktails and snacks!

Semi Regular Burlesque shows are fabulous and immersive. Love the cocktails, really tasty. Plus were able to accommodate vegan and allergy. Looking forward to going to another show
We recently hosted a private graduation party for our university class of 90 people, and the experience was absolutely flawless. From start to finish, the team went above and beyond, exceeding all our expectations. The event was held from 7-11 pm, and we loved the fact that we could curate our own playlist, which they played seamlessly throughout the evening – it really helped set the perfect vibe!
The food and drinks were outstanding, with a variety that pleased every guest. They even went the extra mile to accommodate dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone felt included. A huge thank you to Kate for her incredible help in organizing the event. She was attentive, detail-oriented, and truly made the planning process a breeze.
We highly recommend booking this venue for any private event – it’s an experience you won't forget!
My favourite was surprisingly the oakfire essence! This cocktail is their version of an old fashioned and even though I’m not a whiskey drinker I throughly enjoyed this creation 😍 it was smoky yet a bit sweet and perfectly balanced for me 💯
The Amethyst was so pretty and refreshing, both mocktails were well balanced, my girl enjoyed them and I would totally drink both any day especially that fresh and citrusy yuzu sour 🤤
For food they’ve got a pretty good selection of small plates to keep you satisfied, our favourite was the salmon cakes! So perfectly moist and flakey 😋
Lastly I inhaled that caramel biscoff pudding, it was so creamy and perfectly crunchy with pieces of that caramel tuile, definitely my type of dessert! Perfect way to end off your night 🙌🏼
This spot is perfect to spend sometime with the girlies, on a date or even just a solo drink date! They are a cafe during the day, with lots of room so perfect to get some work done with a gorgeous change of scene ✨
Shoutout to Vana for the amazing recos and the rest of the team for taking such good care of us, we will be back next time we’re in the area 💜
So what are you waiting for ?! Make sure to check them out y’all 💃🏻
