Fantastic atmosphere and concept… the cocktails were made with care, pride and confidence! Leo was patient and very professional with his recommendations and concern for us to have a great experience! Highly recommend to others!
Beautiful venue - high ceilings, open space and curated decor. Menu and drinks were original, fun and tasty. Well priced too. Leo was a welcoming, chatty, knowledgeable bartender.
Been here twice. Located on the second floor of the water works.
Unique drinks, but on the pricy side.
You can get snacks, but not proper food. The mushroom fries was delicious though.

Small snacks like fries and onion rings are fried to perfection, complementing the drink experience.
