My friend and I were excited to try a new place only to find that the service and the drinks here were pretty awful. My cheeriness was constantly met with a bothered attitude from the bartender. My drinks were watery and half the amount of what you'd expect. The parking is confusing and limited. The inside felt like a library. Despite the number of people occupying the space, it was eerily quiet. There was no music, not even a hum, to set the ambience. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this spot.

Went for happy hour and loved it! Great cocktails for a good happy hour price. It looks renovated inside.

Gosh I love this place!!! 1rst the bartenders are fantastic both of them are really. 2) The cocktails are fantastic. They change the menu regularly, do it's always fun and crash. But they keep the best and there is nothing better than their Salted Caramel Martinis or as I now call them dessert. I've decided to skip desert at restaurants and come here instead for a night cap,sweet treat. But it gets better because there is something for everyone! I'm a Gin fan so their Bees Sneeze are great as well as their Gimlets (which has become my favorite drink). But it gets better... they have this smoked old fashion that smells and taste amazing. I could go on and on, since I'm trying to try all their cocktails (it might take me a while). So finally the space is lovely and I love to be served in really nice glasses. Now their outdoor and back space needs a little love. There is nothing wrong with it, it is just a little plain compared to the main bar area. Right now this is my favorite bar.

Great spot for craft cocktails in a low key spot. The interior is comfortable with both bar and table seating. Extra seating in the back and a private outdoor patio for nicer weather.

this place is cute, however.....it's also dark, loud, hot, and tiny. we went with a group of 5 and we were for sure pushing the limits of space. also, when i walk into places in the summer i expect the AC to be kicking since it's 100+ degrees outside. i don't expect to sit down and have sweat dripping down my legs when i'm indoors like i did here. i want the bar to be cold NOT the bartender... the woman bartending was SO cold and rude. it was so obvious she was miserable and didn't want to be there. so much to the point as to the strangers sitting next to me at the bar saw how she was speaking and interacting with me and they said, "wow, she really doesn't like you!" so... cute in theory, but not worth it unless you want to be crammed into a hot space with rude bartenders.

My most favorite place to go! The drinks are meticulously crafted, they are delicious and well balanced. The atmosphere is dark but inviting, small and approachable. I love to sit at the bar and watch the bartenders make each drink. Brooke is a gem, she remembers your name and is excellent at her craft. Mmmm mouth watering.My favorites:Spicy margaritaCucumber gimletOld fashionedEspresso martini
