    Kitty’s did not disappoint! I absolutely love a speakeasy vibe and kittys knocked it out of the park! Very upscale vibe, drinks were AMAZING and honestly quite beautiful! The stemware was exquisite!! The stemware totally sets the tone for the cocktail! The garnishments, the snacks, the attentive wait staff!
