Such a cute little spot in Fishtown. The hip retro decor wasn’t trying to hard it juste was genuinely chic in with its mid-century but not tone. The staff were lovely and knowledgeable and helpful with choosing our cocktails while also giving space for us to chat and catch up while sipping our distinct and delicious drinks. We had no food only drinks but I would come back again for more drinks and a nibble.
Unfortunately, this was a letdown from start to finish. The blaring club music created an off-putting atmosphere, and the drinks were overwhelmingly sugary—so much so that we couldn’t finish either of them. While the bar concept is intriguing, it just doesn’t come together. The limited food menu feels mismatched with the drink offerings, making for an overall disappointing experience.
Had my birthday celebration here and it was the most enchanting and vibey place I could hope for! Food was so good that I think about it often tbh. The interior design is so lovely and staff is so great I couldn’t ask for a better spot
