My boyfriend and I went on 1/12/24 to try the tequila tasting. We sat at the bar and Sterling led us through a very knowledgeable conversation about the different types of Asombroso Tequila. He was very sweet and he makes one hell of a margarita! Thank you Sterling for educating us and making us feel welcome. The drinks were very creative and tasty, highly recommend the Aqua Lily and the margarita flight (pictured). We will pay a visit next time we are in town!

Came here for drinks with coworkers and loved the ambience. It was around Halloween and the place had such fun decor. I had a margarita which was delicious but my friend ordered the piggy bank which was both cute AND delicious. Served in a little glass pig and tasted like raspberries & cream. This is a cool little local spot to grab a drink in RSM. I heard there's a food truck on certain days, too. Giving 4 stars instead of 5 because one person in our party ordered a mocktail and our waitress forgot about her drink. Otherwise, great experience.

What an incredible rip-off. Only a complete moron would come back here a second time.*Everything* is insanely over priced. Pretend hipsters love this place though. "oooooooohhh, they made my whiskey smokey!!!" lol

Great bar to hang out! They do not serve food but you can bring in whatever you like!! Even order door dash . The bartenders are great and make delicious drinks. We got The Sinner and Lavender Fields. We will absolutely be coming back.

Really good cocktails made well, high-quality spirits, knowledgeable bartenders, quiet and calm music, a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere. Also priced very fairly for what you recieve.

Went back to give it a second chance.... Took a seat at a table, waited 10 minutes, no acknowledgment, no menus, nothing. My husband went up to the bar, waited another 8 minutes until someone asked if he had been helped. Was Told they didn't have sweet and sour. We watched 2 of the bartenders come out from around the bar to serve 2 other tables. It took 18 minutes to just be acknowledged and 23 minutes to actually have a drink. There were open seats at the bar so yes they may have been busy but not at capacity. This is twice now it's been impossible to get a drink here. Really frustrating

Great local spot for both small batch spirits and some craft beer. Everyone is really nice, knowledgeable and helpful.

What a great find. Who knew something so cool was in RSM?!?!They'll let you bring food in from outside, since they don't serve food, which is great with several options in the same complex.Service can be a bit slow and you find yourself waiting for the bartender to come back, but overall a great experience.You walk in and feel like you're somewhere in a big city, not a strip mall in the suburbs. Great vibe and amazing selections of craft spirits.

Visited during their Halloween event and the place was busy but awesome due to black light effects. Vast selection of wines, whiskey, bourbons and tequilas. Customer service was great. Definitely coming back to sample more drinks and possibly take a bottle home.

Highly recommend visiting this spot if you're a bourbon drinker. The bar area isn't very large but it's a very cool bar with a great selection of drinks. The unexpected twist, the large selection of whiskey that can be purchased in-store. It's cool because most of the brands they choose to stock aren't mainstream so you're going to find bottles that you wouldn't necessarily find elsewhere plus they have a nice selection of small batch distillers.

excellent hidden gem of a spot. Too much to make a review, as you should keep it hidden. Great cocktail. I have enjoyed it.

Great craft cocktail bar and liquor store that uses small batch spirits for their cocktails. Great kickback vibe. Love coming here to get a real good cocktail made properly and taste delicious. Hundreds of small batch whiskeys, bourbon, and other spirits. Great place to hang out with friends and play some board games. They have several popular board games, so you don't need to bring a game.You can do whiskey tasting, and on some nights, they have e a spirit distributor sampling a variety of spirits.They don't serve food but offer a few snacks like popcorn and pretzels. You can bring food in or have it delivered, which is what we have done and many others do also.I highly recommend you check it out!
