I like that the entrance is not obvious. Unfortunately having the landlord come in and interrupted when the hostess is speaking to you and then the landlord's food pager goes off for the food they ordered down the street while the hostess is explaining the concept is super disruptive to the ambience that's trying to be created. The landlord only came to see what the place looked like so they had no real business being there. That really messed up the vibe right at the start of getting there. Super unprofessional and disrespectful of the landlord. Love the bathrooms as they are decorated very nicely and they had two gender-neutral bathrooms. The paper towel choice was good as they are sorbent, but it was difficult to grab without getting all the other paper towels wet and then having a candle so close to the paper towels would make me uncomfortable, but that's just me. They also had tampons available for an emergency. The cleansing palette drink that was provided was a coffee wash whiskey infused with Sherry and herb. It was very strong and not my preference. Music choice is on point! A curtain at the entrance, after the hostess stand, might be good since sounds seemed to travel easily through the place (see videos for examples). When ordering you need to have an idea of what kind of drinks you prefer, and what kind of hard alcohol you prefer in order to give them enough information to create a specific drink to your taste. So be prepared when you go in to have to describe what you like in order to get a drink as they do not have a drink menu. The old fashioned type drink that was ordered was a bit watered down. It was ordered with smoked flavored wood with maple and the smoke flavor was delicious. The two vodka drinks I had were good. They only serve a variety of nuts, but no other food. See...

Read moreI decided to stop by since a friend suggested I check it out. My bartender was Neil and he’s amazing! His piña colada and dirty martini are to die for!!:) I’m so glad I went, Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive, always checking in to see how I was feeling and what I thought of the place. The ambience was lively, welcoming, and beautifully designed, and the drinks were a 10/10. What really stood out is how personalized the experience was. The bartenders actually ask about your preferences and craft drinks tailored just for you. It felt so genuine and engaging, and I left in such a great mood. I went alone and felt completely comfortable the whole time and had lots of fun. Definitely planning to come back soon!
I Definitely suggest to make a reservation, especially if you want to sit...
