Ladies and Gentlemen - A Cocktail Experience — Restaurant in Pasadena

Really disappointed in this place. Came on a whim and didn't know it was an "omakase" style cocktail experience - server was well informed and did a good job explaining the concept and menu. Speakeasy vibe is cool too, whilst a little bit cheesy. We politely inquired about a mocktail for the non drinker in our party of 4. Our server was kind and explained which cocktails can be made as a mocktail. No separate mocktail menu, but we were willing to look past that. We were also willing to look past the fact that we cannot order drinks off the menu, which I found SUPER odd...but oh well. We were leaning into the whole experience and having fun!! The issues began when our first round of drinks came out and the server dropped an alcoholic drink to our nondrinker. We asked for confirmation that we had been served a mocktail and the drink runner had no idea what we were talking about, and the drink we ordered as a mocktail wasn't even available. We started to get annoyed, but ordered another mocktail, waited and it finally arrived. Then when it was time to pay the bill, we were not only charged for the mocktail that arrived wrong (fine)...we were charged FULL PRICE for a mocktail...a drink with no liquor...??? How can the price of a mocktail be the same as a full cocktail? I thought this was absolutely ABSURD. Non drinkers and people looking for a regular martini...beware, this is not the...

Once we got in, the hostess informed us that it’s 3 drinks minimum for $75.00. We were cool with it. We sat down, the atmosphere was nice, the server came explained about the drinks… ordered the first drink after about 10 min she brought the drink ( beauty and the beast) very nice presentation. The glass was 90% filled with ice. The drink was totally watered down… definitely not worth $25 bucks… ordered the 2nd and 3rd drink the hot and sexy and lemon and orange… drinks were good. Specially the hot and sexy was very good. Then we asked for the check. She brought the bill in between a book. The bill was about almost $80 so we just put a $100 bill inside the book and we were about to leave that the waitress came and saw the bill and said we can’t give you change….!! I said I wasn’t asking for change but out of curiosity why? She said it has to be the exact amount we don’t do cash… no notice, no one said anything…. The way she said it was so rude and obnoxious that I said no worries I got my cash back and gave her my card, then she turned the iPad for me to choose the tip, I chose no tip.!! And we left. I never done this, but this time she asked for it. We were so shocked by their behavior. I would never go back to this place personally, it was too...

One of best speakeasy’s I’ve been to in a long time. Service was really nice and all the servers were running drinks and getting old drinks off the table while refilling water.

The drinks were out of this world. Yes, for $25 each they should be. The bartenders/mixologists behind the bar really knocked it out of the park.

Also to all the 1star rating people on here. Do a little research first going, “you have to walk into a bathroom to enter 🙄” yeah it’s a speakeasy that’s what they do. They have something fun or unique they sets them apart from your normal Applebees and cheesecake factory’s that you usually go to. “There’s pornography on the walls 😱” it’s their bar. Let them do whatever they want. You don’t have to look at the walls. Sit at another table or look at yourself in the mirrored wall as you sulk.

Go to this bar. Watch a TikTok and figure out how to get there. Make a reservation. Do your research. Have the time...
