Such an amazingly cute cocktail bar in downtown Lombard. The drinks are complex, expertly crafted, and taste wonderful. This level of cocktail bar is unmatched in the suburbs and I simultaneously want everyone to know about it and want it to be a well kept secret. The interior is dark and classy with a laid back atmosphere. The waiters have always been very friendly and attentive, willing to offer great recommendations whenever needed.
