A GEM! This place is hidden behind the driveway, but you can't miss it with the big Cana neon sign on Flower. You have to pay $20 to join their annual membership, which entitles you to bring 3 friends at any time. If you want to bring more friends, you'll have to call ahead.
I was here on a Saturday night and it was just the way I like it...enough people to get the party started, but not crowded where you're squished like a sardine.
The drinks average to $12 +tip and they are all freshly made. I think my favorite would be the Flower Street Sour (it includes a tiny raw egg mixed in). One plus on their drink is the ice, weird? Some of their drink has a big huge cube of ice, love! It makes it sooo easy to sip, sip, and sip away.
Here's another for you, 'Brazilian Necktie' Its a cucumber drink with a bit of sour and spice. I quite enjoyed it and the bar seemed to lined with folks drinking the 'Brazilian Necktie'. A good refreshing drink!
Anyone a lover of coconut? They have 'Coconut Water' here and accordingly to my friend, it's delicious! The drink comes in a coconut and dark rum inside.
Okay, be warned! '28 days later' is strong...I saw another table ordering a round for their whole table and I wanted one! It comes in a big mustard color tiki cup with sprigs and springs of mint, yum. I didn't finish the drink cause I already had a couple previously, but this is a birthday drink for your dear friends!
Hopefully, I'll make it back soon. Btw, they have happy hours on weekdays. But the drinks are limited to their mojito and daiquiri, CANA expand your happy hour...
Read moreWhere do i begin... this lovely looking venue is pretty to the eye. But what it holds underneath is scary. Its taken me so time to write this and post. PLEASE be careful in this place!! Please go with someone you trust and that will remain sober. I dont drink too much im at a one drink max due to alcohol allergies and its only in a social setting that i even dare to consume. so you will understand my confusion when i blacked out at this place from ONE drink. I have no memory of how i ened up leaving this place. I have bits and pieces from that night. my group was very blessed my best friend's sisters did not drink that night. All of us that drank from our group has this issue. I shared this story with other friends that have came to this place and also mentioned the same this of not remembering the night after drinking. Non of us drink that way to the point of blacking out. Something isn't right at this place there is absolutely some type of predator with in the staff that targets customers here. It pure violation of your body and well being. It's a horrible feeling not knowing why or how a person gets that way. Im compelled to write this post because to this day i havent got over that night. I go over it in my head over and over again. My friends and I all share the same "Ickiness" of that night. I know that there are other victims out there. I hope my post gives that comfort to other patrons that experienced the same thing. You...
Read moreFinally checked this place out... ON HALLOWEEN!!!! They had a morbid anti-sanrio (hello kitty, batzu maru, keroppi, etc) theme with special signature cocktails.
MEMBERS ONLY: The bar is a "members only club", $20/year. I got in thanks to my bf who was fortunate enough sign up for one last year. He was able to let 3 non-members in. From what I heard, it's not that hard to be one. If you're not a member then I heard there's a small cover.
AMBIENCE: Dim. They have an cigar lounge/patio in the back with glass ceiling and a fire place. Loooooved the anti-bloody-hellokitty decor.
DECOR: Bloody kitty dolls hanging by its neck from the ceiling, "die kitty die!" written on the hallway wall, slashed/duct taped kitty dolls, etc.
DRINKS: We ordered some halloween signature cocktails. I forgot the name but one is called "feline blood" and another had the word "dead" and "hello kitty" in them...My favorite one was Natalie K's drink with chili pepper. Tasted like that mexican candy called tamarindo(?).
Their drinks are stiff and worth the price. My boyfriend got lucky with the tequila punch bowl thanks to a generous bartender.
CROWD: Not as crowded because not many people knows about this place.
ENTRANCE: Through a garage on flower street.
HISTORY: Use to be a mediocre bar called Doheny that a lot of people disliked. $2k/year snobby exclusive club that closed down...
