If you haven't been here then you're missing out. The cocktails are expertly crafted and the entire staff is spirited about your experience and the drinks they're making. I genuinely disliked gin before I tried this place out, and after a crash course and tasting different types, I now confidently order gin cocktails knowing I'm going to enjoy them. They have a great selection of small plates that are always delicious. Both menus rotate frequently, so I rarely find myself getting the same thing. The bands they host are always excellent and the volume never bothers me. Although not advertised, they also do a discounted menu on Wednesdays!The food is served tapas style, in small portions, often with international flavors. If I'm going for a full dinner, I usually order 3 items or sharing 4-5 plates with another person - which is like half the menu. The Caesar salad is a menu staple and my favorite in the whole city. Whatever meatballs that they have are always good, too.Not only is this a great date-night place, it's a great spot for large groups, too. The owners were very accommodating for the larger parties I've hosted and it's plenty of space for other larger parties that I've attended. On a few occasions, I've witnessed a couple small birthday parties at the same time as there have a band playing, and it didn't feel crowded.Vegetarian options: There are usually vegetarian options on the menu, and occasionally vegan options. Because of the international focus, their vegetarian options have more complex flavors and sustenance than your alternative bars/restaurants with 'vegetarian' options, like salad or pasta with veggies.

Music was great but the overall atmosphere was cold and indifferent.

Ordered a gimlet at a gin bar and this is what I got.... Ordered a second one if they could serve it in a real glass, got another plastic cup with the explanation "we're not doing that tonight". Saturday night? That's fine customer service there ?Edited to add- bartender found me and explained the situation: don't have enough glasses, overwhelmed tonight (Mardi gras event in area), too crowded - genuinely appreciated him and his apology ?but I still stand by my desire to have a real glass at a real table in a real bar ?

This place is so cute! Had Ethan as our server twice and he is such a sweetheart. He makes excellent recommendations and was so helpful and fun to chat with. Even during a busy night he was attentive to our table. Our food and drinks are always delicious and I love the ambiance here. It's like a fancy little old school renovated diner/ speakeasy type vibe. Love this addition to Mainstrasse!

A gin-lovers' dream. Super cool bartenders and atmosphere inside! Had live music when we went which was a nice touch. Only reason for 4 stars: genuinely only have gin for spirits. No wine, no seltzers, but did have some beer options. Was an adjustment as we just walked by and didn't know it was a dedicated gin spot. Definitely have to be prepared to visit here or already enjoy gin drinks in general!

This spot is amazing and I’m mad I didn’t know it existed sooner! They have a wide range of drinks, specializing in gin, and are happy to modify if you want. The tapas menu was DELICIOUS and it was perfect to split a couple plates with your group. We did not feel rushed to leave and the service was incredible. There was also live jazz music which made the ambiance even better. Definitely will return!
Drinks and food were amazing and the staff was great! Enjoyed the ambience, it was a great date night with my husband!

This place has an amazing Gin collection. Definitely try the singapore sling and absinthe. James is a BOMB bartender and he knows his gin. He deserves big fat holiday bonus and a raise!
