It's a speakeasy, tucked underneath a coffee shop. Very clever use of space. Very intimate setting. Dimly lit, but not so dark you can't see. Bar along one side, mainly 2 tops along the wall opposite the bar with a few areas towards the front/back that accommodate slightly larger parties. Every bartender is a server. Every server is a bartender. They collaborate and develop creative cocktails. Those that are better received remain on the menu. Those that aren't get cut. Constantly creating adding/dropping etc. Didn't try any of the food. Went for drinks after dinner. Some of the cocktails were sensational. Some I felt were simply too sweet. It's a fun place to try something new. Fun variety of creative glasses. Some they hang on chains from hooks. Lots of novelty. Hit and miss cocktails, but several are absolute home runs. Definitely a fun place to go to try something new and relax. Gets a little loud when the crowd builds up. But not too over the top.

The aura of the place is great, you have to get there before opening time to get seats as it's a super tiny place. Really cute drinks and great presentation.

Absolutely love this place! Great speakeasy with very unique, instagram-worthy cocktails. Follow the carpet to enter inside. Came as a party of 2 with no reservation on a Wednesday summer night around 8pm and were able to get seated right away. If you want to do the tasting menu (two cocktails and some combo of savory items and dessert), you have to book at least one day in advance on resy. They don't let you do it as a walk-in (though everything on the tasting menu you can still order a la carte). For drinks, my favorite cocktail of the night was definitely the mojito - a tasty watermelon mint drink that hangs from the ceiling (see photos). They were out of at least two different drinks that night, including the Manhattan, which my friend really wanted so was a little disappointing. For food, we got the oysters and sushi. The oysters were very good and I loved the mignonette it came with. I didn't love the sushi, which was some unique play on sushi with crispy rice and fruit. I didn't even taste the fish. 10/10 recommend.
