Description

**Discovering a Hidden Gem: The Unforgettable Sidebar Experience**

Tucked away and often overlooked, this cozy cocktail bar offers an intimate atmosphere with a seating capacity of just 20. Patrons are greeted by super friendly, knowledgeable staff who take pride in crafting artisan cocktails that range from $15 to $25, showcasing unique and compelling flavors. While the absence of a record player has shifted to streaming music, the charming ambiance remains alluring. Although the bar can be tricky to locate, sharing an entrance with a nearby pizza spot, the delightful drinks and welcoming vibe make every visit worthwhile. Perfect for a romantic date night or a casual evening, this speakeasy-style treasure is a must-visit for cocktail enthusiasts.

We had some time to kill so we went here before a show at the Van Andel. Really liked the speakeasy, friendly ambiance, and custom cocktails.. If you want to try custom cocktails, I would highly recommend this place. Everything is handcrafted to order and they have just about every combination you could think of. It is tiny, probably less than 20 people fit in there. And I wouldn't go there if you were in a rush because, as I said, it's handcrafted to order. If you just want an inexpensive drink before a show, this is probably not the place for you. Price per person: $20–30 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
