Was there last night with a group of friends, and it wasn’t our first time there. Honestly, this place just keeps delivering. The vibe is always relaxed and welcoming, the kind of spot where you can actually settle in, talk, and enjoy the night without feeling rushed or packed in.

The drinks are consistently solid. You can tell the bartenders know what they’re doing and actually care about what they’re putting out. Whether you stick with a classic or try something new, everything we had was well made and enjoyable.

The staff is what really makes this place stand out. They’re friendly, easy to talk to, and genuinely know their craft. They make great recommendations, explain drinks without being pretentious, and make you feel taken care of without hovering.

By the end of the night, it just felt like another reminder of why we keep coming back. If you’re in the area and want good drinks, good people, and a place that feels right, this is absolutely worth stopping in and hanging ou

Just wanted to give a shout out to Jodi, Joe, and Frank on this past Saturday night they rocked it! I was there for a 50th Birthday party and it was very busy but Jodi was soo nice , fun, and efficient never losing her cool under the stress of the crowd! I can’t wait to go back! Good employees are hard to get, give them all a bonus!

This place is excellent. The standard cocktails are perfect, elevating them is a little expensive, but often worth it. They offer light munchies and dessert, if you want food food, you can bring food from the rear end one block over. Hooks for purses, clean bathrooms, and yacht rock.. 💕🥃🍸

Seems to be permanently (?) closed? No one answers, door is locked at 8pm in a Friday night. Apparently has been this way for over a month according to previous review. Bummer.

How about be open when it says you are open. Came to the business during listed open hours to try it, twice. Both times the door was locked and nobody answered the phone.

Stopped in for a few drinks after dinner down the road and was amazed by the service we received. Every drink we ordered was expertly made and delicious. We splurged for Absinthe service and were not disappointed, the experience was worth the cost. We will absolutely be returning.

We had the chips and olives it was plentiful and delicious. Great friendly service. Kind staff who serve the most delicious cocktails. I'm so excited I found this place. Plan to spend 10-15 a drink plus a generous tip as always.

Female bartender was so rude that we will never go back!!! Who wants to spend $15 on a drink just to be scolded for your group taking up too much space!? Bitter ending for sure!!!

Really nice little space with a super chill vibe in Etna. It reminds me of a jazz club or speakeasy. Good cocktail list with a few domestic beers available. Also had some snacks and dessert. I am more of a beer drinker but really enjoyed the space. The upper part was like a nice little lounge. I would like to go back again. I got a customized cocktail with one of my favorite amaros. They have a large selection of liquors and liqueurs. The TVs were set to black and white to match the space.
