    Went in for the first time yesterday for a birthday celebration & man, it was PHENOMENAL. The atmosphere was great, service was fantastic & the 5 O’clock to Rio was *chef’s kiss* (and I say that as someone who doesn’t partake in drinking cocktails too often). Clay gave us the best experience possible & walked us through our options with great recommendations. He didn’t steer us wrong once! We will definitely be making it a regular occurrence. Cheers

    This was only my second time visiting, and I was completely blown away. My friend and I sat near the service station, which ended up being one of the best seats in the house! We got to watch all of the cocktails being made and every drink that came out looked like a work of art. Not only were the cocktails beautiful, but every single one we ordered was absolutely delicious. Our bartender was fairly new, but incredibly sweet and welcoming. What really stood out was how attentive the team was. Our server took the time to ask what kinds of flavors we liked and guided us toward drinks that matched our preferences perfectly. The whole experience felt so personal and thoughtful, from the service to the cocktails themselves. It’s rare to find a place where both the drinks and hospitality are equally impressive. This has officially become my favorite neighborhood bar, and I can’t wait to come back.
