Atmosphere and drinks were great. Wish there was a longer beer list. Great after dinner spot or meet up location. Service was great. You order and pay off the QR code which was different and can be convenient in ways. Food was better shared as it isn’t a place for dinner really. Had some plates to get me by! Would try again :) thanks!

Hawaiian themes but they don’t make a Mai Tai??? Wanted to like this place so came three times but never liked a drink. They are extremely heavy and unbalanced. The vibes are cool though.

Beware of double tipping. This place has a mandatory 20% tip, and then the checkout screen defaults to ANOTHER 5% or 10% of additional tip. You'll be tipping 30% if you're not paying attention. This is unethical and it's time we start calling out this kind of dishonorable behavior.

Absolutely the best cocktails - hands down - in Seattle. So much attention and detail is put into each drink. This is the place you start your night when you have all your senses intact and can appreciate the craft and love behind the scenes. Much appreciation!

Great vibe with the building design very gimmicky menu. Drinks are on the pricey side and there is no mention or note of 20% auto gratuity then they ask for a tip on top. Seemed a bit shady...especially since you order through a QR code and pay through a QR code. Service was also interesting in the sense that you order their specialty drink with a unique name. When they brought the drinks out they asked who ordered a pina colada and confused the table by the generic name for the drink.

Two recommendations: make the tart drinks, a tad bit less tart, and replace your maraschino cherries with Luxo cherries. This place is nice enough where you could pull that off. But this was a very nice cozy place. Loved the lights. Excellent service, and whoever did the interior design was on point.

These cocktails aren't good - and if you scroll through positive reviews, you'll see what I mean. Others mention how "they don't like the taste of alcohol, but they like these". That's the giveaway.
We had two cocktails, and they both tasted like melted Jolly Ranchers. That's not a cocktail, and they didn't remotely resemble the Manhattans / Old Fashioneds they were supposedly a twist on.
Also got the "Alani Moa", their fried chicken bites, which I swear to god had to be some reheated Trader Joes meal.'
But the vibes were nice enough inside so they can earn a star back.

Very expensive menu, and on top of that there’s a 20 percent mandatory service fee, as well as asking for tip on top of that, at a restaurant where you order your own food through an app. Honestly absurd, I wouldn’t ever go back even though the food and drinks were decent.

Good cocktails but not a fan of having a timer started for your departure as soon as you sit down. The QR ordering kind of loses some charm too.

I've been here twice and both times I've been delighted by the creativity and craftsmanship of the cocktails. The drinks here are both beautiful and delicious, with options for folks looking for a more adventurous cocktail or stepping just outside the comfort zone of a classic drink. The back patio is a charming little covered oasis that feels like stepping into a tropical garden and not just out the backdoor of a bar in Ballard. This would be a great place to bring a data or an out of town guest, the atmosphere and menu are sure to impress.

Great cocktails and little bites, but a bit pricey, even when I went for happy hour. Great atmosphere.

Love little tin - excellent cocktails, wonderful ambiance and QTPOC owned. Sometimes the wait is a little long but I love going soon after opening when it’s a little less busy. The back patio is beautiful in spring and summer!
Parking: Parking is a little difficult due to location in downtown Ballard, plan accordingly!
