We tried 4 signatures on the menu and were pleasantly impressed by the consistent quality and creativity in each drink. A fantastic place to experience cocktail art.
The dragon fruit drink is definitely one of the most creative cocktail I have tried in Sai Gon so far. Each drink is layered with very well balanced flavors. Bartenders know their craft with a range of aromatic ingredients. Presentation is on point!
Surprisingly most reviews are from the morning coffee but not so much compliments for the night bar service. The staff spoke fluent English and very attentive. They know how to engage us while give us our private space.
Price is relatively in the same range of other boutique cocktail. So glad they banned flash photography because that habit truly destroys bar vibe everywhere. Kudos to management!
The most interesting drink unfortunately was not available because the creator wanted to take it back and perfect the recipe. Hat off the bartender who respect the art of cocktail and maintain such high standards. Definitely coming back on my next...

The design is interesting and definitely needs some daytime exploration while the space is being used as a coffee shop.
In terms of menu, I do have to make a comment, they ask you to scan a QR code to get to their menu which has an interstitial ad that drops a bunch of tracking cookies on your mobile browser. Yuck!
So, in terms of digital hygiene, they get penalized. (-1 point)
QR menus are interesting and trendy, but they do pose a security risk for the end user.
The menu itself has a few specialty cocktails, a few wines by the glass, wines by the bottle, food options.
I didn’t really see a very diverse cocktail menu, hence my choice.
Would I come back? Definitely to check out the space during the day. To have a cocktail, maybe if I have a friend who wants a quiet...
