One of my favorite spots for a classy drink+nice atmosphere in dt SLO. The dinner menu provides pretty decent options that accompany the cocktails well. Their kitchen isn’t unlimited, however, and I’d recommend arriving before 6 if you want variety in the menu as they run out of options quickly. They are currently serving Chinese fusion courses. I’ve attached a picture of the happy hour specials!

Coming back here after a few years. The place looks so different, great decor, cocktails hit the spot and service was on point. We got wasabi fries which has too much salt and they replaced it. Will be back again.

Excellent cocktails. Excellent food. I’ve only had their most recent menu of the Chinese Take Out but it is out of this world. Service is fantastic and super professional. All day Happy Hour Wednesday is awesome. Their events are also fun and downstairs area is fun for a date night or a group of friends.My only suggestion would be to put the times that the kitchen closes on their website. In an area where many restaurants close at 8pm, it can be deceiving if you are open until 10pm+.

Excellent cocktails. Cannot emphasize enough how well-balanced these drinks are. The one percenter was the smoothest spirit-forward bourbon drink I’ve had. Crushing turts was gorgeously presented an delicious with a distinctive funkiness. Bartenders were friendly, answered questions willingly, service was quick. The wasabi fries were delicious and creative, General Tso’s chicken was tasty. The outlier was the lo mein noodles, which were a bit bland. Would definitely return.

Went there on a Saturday with a couple friends. I had a little too much to drink and was falling asleep at a table. I was 100% in the wrong for that. Got up with my friend to use the bathroom (to throw up) and the bartenders rushed us, saying I had just thrown up everywhere. They took our brand new drinks, saying there was vomit in them, and kicked us out. Neither of us were sober enough to refuse but after coming to the next day, recalled the entire experience and am 100% sure that they lied to our face. I understand why they took the drinks but totally not okay to lie. I did confront them in the moment saying I had not just thrown up, but obviously they didn’t acknowledge it. The whole experience was so bizarre and awful. I did not grab my jacket before being kicked out and it was not in their lost and found when I called on their next open day which was Wednesday. Literally the worst bar experience I’ve ever had.

My favorite place to get cocktails in SLO! They use fresh ingredients in their drinks and you can really taste the difference. The vibe is fun during the afternoon and also late at night!

My brother in Christ - when I say I want an espresso martini with Tito’s I mean I want a drink with Tito’s. I was offered an overpriced well vodka espresso martini instead. Vibe was chill but maybe for those under the age of 30.
