The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for a romantic night out or simply hanging out with friends. They offer a wide selection of drinks, including specialty cocktails, and the bartenders are fantastic, providing top-notch service. I highly recommend trying the classic Moscow mule. Don't miss out on their happy hour specials, which run from 4-7 on weekdays and all day on Sunday. Check them out for a great experience!

The beverage selection feels restricted, with overly sweet cocktails and frozen drinks that seem overly ambitious. I believe they could enhance their menu by offering more balanced drinks, such as those featuring cucumber, grapefruit, or herbs. Personally, I prefer establishments like Sidecar, The TOP, or Public General for cocktails.

They inside is so cool and it's a great location in downtown. Perfect for after dinner drinks!!
