I live nearby and have been a regular here for several years. I've always been very satisfied with this place, especially for their cocktail selection, their prices during happy hour (5-7), and the quality and speed of service. However, in the past few weeks, the staff has changed, and the service is now bordering on unpleasant and slow. Before writing this review, I visited three times within a few weeks to give them a chance. However, I must admit I'm very disappointed with how things have turned out here, although the cocktails remain of high quality. I don't recommend the food; it's tiny portions for maximum prices.

It was my first time at this place (and probably my last). The drinks menu had some interesting concoctions to offer though they were overpriced. Ambience was great. The food was overpriced as well with minuscule portion sizes. Also, the waitstaff were cold and indifferent. Their lack of hospitality and warmth stood out and prompted us to make an early exit.

Amazing cocktail bar with an occasionally rotating menu but bartenders who are willing and able to go off menu.

Toronto’s best cocktail bar offers a fantastic array of drinks that rarely disappoint. While the drinks are consistently great, the service can be hit or miss.

If a bustling, cozy vibe with unique cocktails are your thing, then this is THE place! During the night it can get quite loud but that's just part of the ambiance. Down side is there's no reservations and with the price point of their cocktails/happy hour (1/2 off everything on the menu), it can get quite busy so I would not recommend a large party. The one server they have in the small space was attentive and polite. Honestly, my husband and I can't wait to go again.

Amazing craft cocktails in a cozy, dimly-lit setting. Never had a cocktail here that I didn’t like!

Lovely place with an amazing selection of cocktails. The service is a bit on the slower side, but there usually is only 1 bartender attending to all patrons. However, the atmosphere of the place makes it up to the wait time.
Drinks are amazing! I highly recommend this bar, great ambiance. It's one of my favorite bars in Toronto

Small and cozy. Well crafted cocktails. Their happy hour deal is amazing. It can get busy, so be prepared to wait if you have a large group.

Wow! "Hidden in plain sight" is the only way to describe this - it's on a pretty well-trodden area of Dundas, by Trinity-Bellwoods, and there is a nice outdoor balcony, but it wouldn't catch your eye (by design). The space is minimalist, but in an elegant way.I believe it was the "Absinthe Whip" (described as "absinthe, orange, pisiachio, coconut"; not shown here) that initially seemed like too many flavours at all, but a few seconds into the first sip it all made sense. And so I learned never to doubt the judgment of the in-house mixologist.
