Speakeasy atmosphere cocktail 🍸 bar with live jazz 🪊 every Tuesday evening. Jackson was our very knowledgeable bartender which we shared some alcoholic knowledge with. Very small intimate space, you might be rubbing shoulders with others.

A treasure spot, definitely one of the best speakeasies in the city. Wonderful customer service and each customized drink was beautifully tailored to your taste. Great ambiance and it got busier closer to dinner time. Come early if you want to talk with the bartender on the drink inspiration. But no worries if you cannot. They still find the time to ensure you have a good time. Looking forward to introducing this place with other friends and family members.

I loved their service and cocktail menu. The best espresso martini I ever had. The place is small and feels very cozy. However the food menu is very small and not much to choose from. Shrimp dumplings tastes very weird, like it’s made from lamb meat instead of shrimp. I don’t like when they ask for a reservation fee, I don’t really feel that it’s necessary. But the experience and costumer service were excellent.

Came here on a Thursday night and was very well taken care of by Tyler. He was a great sport with us and we had ana amazing time there! We had 2-3 drinks each, curated perfectly to our taste. From our welcome drink to our closing out drink, each of them had amazing complex taste. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a chill night in a beautiful speakeasy

Quite nice cocktails, complex and quite enjoyable. Vibes are impeccable and I felt like a real big city boy in here. Holding back a star as the edible components are either simplistic or absent, and at these prices I was expecting a bit more on that front.
