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
