Great cocktail bar in fishtown with a cool vibe. Really awesome music, super nice and fun bartenders, and 10/10 cocktails. Not many bars can make a pornstar martini but they were able to do it. Love it here and perf for date night

I’ve only managed to make it to this place twice, the first time mid-June after getting off work early from Brooklyn Bowl just down the street, and the second a few hours before writing this review. Even after getting a hair cut between my first and second visit, Kyle and Josiah immediately recognized me just as I walked in. Despite its small size with the only food in the place being available from a vending machine (Primarily chips and a few other snacks.), the range of drinks was wonderful, with my two choices in particular being the pisco sour (a little rich, very juicy, and the chocolate shavings complementing those characteristics pleasantly), and the Smoke And Barrels (A Manhattan combining the classic rye element with mezcal and an amaro, wonderfully balanced with the smoky and spirit-forward aspects, a little tart from the cherry, easily one of my favorite ever riffs on a classic). Apart from the aforementioned cocktails, I also had a couple shots of the rum blend which was phenomenal, straight juicy and bright. I’d be happy to try it again.
The drinks are only part of the fun. As I had already stated, Kyle and Josiah IMMEDIATELY recognized my face as I walked in, despite the massive haircut, and they were just as awesome from my prior visit months ago. Even better, I gifted a tiki bottle opener that my coworker gave me a couple years ago over the holidays, and it is still there, evidently standing strong as ever, if you’re interested in asking them. Moving forward from that, I had some wonderful conversations with some fellow patrons. One of them was particularly buzzed, and even then our conversation wasn’t hampered by that. The compact, intimate feel to this place is wonderful, especially if you’re having a night out with friends or on a date for just drinks.
It’s largely focused on vibes, bringing new faces together, and just overall having a wonderful time without getting messed up. Believe me, this is the type of place you come to for wonderful drinks and splendid vibes, and staff who don’t just know what they’re doing, but know they can, and WILL have fun committing themselves to their craft. That’s what has truly made me come back, and it will remain that way. I’m looking forward to my next stop here, the next drinks, and my next wonderful conversations. Cheers to all who see this, and happy sailing!
A short, final note: Be prepared to drink lots of water. The staff are all in the mindset of hydrating everyone regardless of how busy it is. The second your glass of water is on the verge, it will be refilled before you can say anything. Something I love seeing in bars and restaurants, cheers!

Stopped in with some colleagues for drinks, very good.
Cocktail technique, exceptional. More importantly, amazingly friendly and fun. French 75 Jell-O shots could not have been more of a surprise - get ‘em if you spot them on the menu. Trust the man with the flute, no cocktail lovers will be disappointed here.

One of the best cocktail bars I’ve been to, and that’s saying a lot! I’m always on the hunt for a great cocktail bar, and after years of trying spots while living in LA, Denver, NYC, and Philly, this one easily lands in my top three. The drinks were incredible, the space was full of charm (think: photo album-style menus, cozy booth seating, and very cool curated aesthetic), and the staff was so above and beyond. From Gump at the door who set the fun tone right from the beginning, to the sweet waiters who literally gave me a t-shirt when my zipper broke on the one I was wearing, everyone was unbelievably kind and personable. If you’re in Philly, this place needs to be on your list. Can’t wait to come back!!

I just moved to Philly and came here for my first weekend out and it did not disappoint. The staff were knowledgeable, helpful, and SO friendly! My friends shirt broke and they saw us struggling to zip it back up, so the staff came up to us and offered her a Tshirt to wear for the rest of the night. The drinks were delicious and nicely curated! I have been in NYC for 5 years, and would say this place doesn't compare to most places in NYC. Highly recommend to anyone and will 100% be back!

Cocktails are on point!! But felt like we were drinking inside an Ice Box. The contrast from outside temp to inside temp is unreal. My wife has to bring a jacket in there during peak summer. Turn the temp up please.
