Best Old fashioned I've ever had, but the pulled pork nachos were terrible and tasted freezer burnt, the meatballs were very bland and didn't have any gravy (don't resemble the picture whatsoever). Great drinks but don't go for food.

Found this little place when looking for a local speakeasy or bar that had absinthe. I was pleased that they did serve it, but in a mixed drink. I asked if I could have it served traditionally, and with a pineapple juice chaser. I got the 2 oz that were left in their only bottle. I'm guessing they don't have a dripper brouilleur, since a quad dripper fountain was brought to our table.After receiving the pineapple juice chaser, I enjoyed my drink very much. I appreciate the bartender's willingness to try something new and the good service by all employees. The food was standard fare and everything was reasonably priced. Nice, low-light atmosphere. We'll probably be back when they've procured another bottle of absinthe.

Very small restaurant and bar. There were 5 tables and a gent at the bar. Service was so slow. Delivered food but no silverware. Had to go to the bar to order more drinks. When ready to go we stood up by table and eventually went to the bar to pay.Within 15 minutes at home I became violently ill. Husband was fine so it wasn't the food. Husband called restaurant to inform to toss out ingredients for the two drinks I had but no one would answer. Left a message online too but it's been a week and no response. We weren't looking for a refund just didn't want anyone else to be sick. It was coming out both ends with sweat and shakes. Thought I was going to pass out. I won't be back since you don't care about your guests.

The cocktails were very good and I love that they offer cocktail flights! I had Queen for a Day, Penicillin, and Paper Plane.

What a treat! This little whiskey bar in downtown Beaverton on Broadway where there are a lot of little mom and pop shops is easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. The cocktails are decadent and delicious. The ambiance is warm and low lit with a lot of wood surface and a back lit bar. The music playing was soulful ‘70s hits. It reminds me of a bar where I’d go after work on the lower East Side of Manhattan called The Vig. It even has a cozy little room off to the side for more intimate gatherings. The bartender was friendly and helpful with recommendations. She recommended the Snowball and Whiskey Sour. The drinks look like art and taste so yummy. I stopped by for one drink and ended up drinking three. I’m already looking forward to the next visit.

The staff was very friendly and focused on delivering a great experience. I would highly recommended trying some of the cocktails as flights. They were all crafted perfectly even though I chose a wide variety.

The good: Great cocktails at reasonable prices.The bad: Hidden fees! Menu prices are cash only, there is a surcharge per item for paying with a card. This is not disclosed until the bill arrives. Nothing on the menu mentions it at all.Indeed, even the bill is misleading, showing higher price per item than the menu, then with a discount for paying cash shown at the bottom. If you forgot what the menu price was you'd think you were getting a "deal" for paying cash, instead of an upcharge for using a card.While I'm not a fan of a fee like this, I could accept it if they were up front about it. Alas they hide it, which I absolutely cannot support. Be honest and upfront with your customers always.Neutral: the food. Prices are very reasonable, food was good but not great. Also the service. Went on a Friday night, they were busy. Staff was friendly but slow to greet us upon arrival. Slow to take our order for drinks at the bar and for food at the table. Again, they were busy, so somewhat understandable.This would be 5 stars for just drinks, or 4 for dinner except for the hidden upcharge for using a card. As is, I just can't support this business. Will not be back.

Nice little spot, not a lot of seating. A touch hard to find in the dark, not well lit or signed. Drinks were fun and delicious, happy hour food was tasty though a tad pricey. Staff was friendly and engaging. Worth a stop.

Went here for the first time last night. It was a quiet Tuesday but the service was fast and friendly. Food was good. Great drink options including mocktails (the ginger lemon one was delicious). Cool ambiance but it's pretty dark inside, fair warning if that's not your jam. We went with a friend who has been there several times and enjoys the place. We'll definitely go back.

This was a sucky experience. The drink was nearly $20 for barely any liquid. It was a cool environment but they didn't tell me my drink would be at the bar when it was done and I waited ten minutes and they finally brought it over. Mind you there was barely anyone in the place. Not going back!

Fun experience, friendly staff and a low key, quiet place. A little shocked at the bill so may need to limit food and drinks next time.

I got the black Manhattan and the prices were reasonable considering the excellent balanced flavor of the cocktail and the friendly service.It's a cozy and clean experience making it an excellent place for a date night. I can't comment on the food but from the comments i heard and what i saw, i would love to try it.
