Overpriced cocktails with very little Alcohol and lots and lots of Ice. One of the drinks came in a SPAM container…why? Appetizer was good but rice bowls very bland and tasteless. Service was a miss and they charge automatic 22% gratuity! Overhyped place.Vegetarian options: Multiple veggie options in Appetizer.

Might just be my new favorite in the area. Try the sangrita and mezcal. Honestly, may be one of the best ways I’ve been served mezcal.

Food was good but terribly small portions. The bill was huge for a few drinks and tiny plates.Vegetarian options: Good veggie and vegan nibbles.

Korea-inspired creative cocktail bar with solid selection of food.The inside is as suggested by the name quite dark but it lends itself some cool vibe. Cocktails were delicious but def on the pricey side.The only thing is that the music and some guests were too loud so it’s a bit hard to talk.

cozy vibe with dark lighting (shocker) and old cameras and b&w photos decorating the walls.we had the oaxacan sockem rumbots (with oaxacan rum ?), the teacher’s pet, and the kimcheech & chong (with puree’d kimchi!). all were very unique and tasty. service was friendly from the host and bartender. didn’t order any food but looked like some good choices. will be back.

This place was such a fun vibe & the food was amazing!! Loved the rice bowl w spam especially. Getting a tasty drink with a complimentary Polaroid photo was also super fun :)

This bar reminds me of Miami in a bad way - possibly even worse. The music is blasting super loud, so you can't really hear what anyone you're with is saying, and it's not even good music either. You're just meant to drink up and shut your mouth if you're not eating or drinking. The name says it all: it's extremely dark and almost pitch black inside. The itty bitty faint candles they have aren't enough to read the menu. That way you miss seeing that all the drinks are basically $20 rounded up (over $20 after tip and tax). When we got seats, it took forever for them to take our order. Then from there, it took even longer for the drinks to finally arrive. No apology from the staff or anything at all. Just oops, here's your drinks now. I'm "only" in my early 30s and feel way too old to be going to places like this. The Oaxacan Sockem' Rumbots drink had a giant ice cube and was only filled halfway with the ice cube inside, so basically without it, it would be 1/3 or less of the cup for $20+! Nobody enjoyed their drinks that much either because they were so strong flavor-wise. Guess they use too many mixers because we could definitely taste each ingredient of each drink, but they didn't taste good together.

Had the worst service we could've ever asked for here. We came because one of our friends recommended the place for a great Asian fusion spot. We asked about the menu and our server gave us a condescending laugh and was pointing to the menu and was basically like look it's written on the menu what do you mean. Lol for anybody who's never been here, it's dark- really dark in the room. So sorry we were unable to see. Don't ever come here if you're having a good day and want to keep it going. Or if you can't see well in the dark.

This place was spot on. Cocktails were top knotch and crafted with dedication, food was to die for (I had the abobo pork bowl), and the same level of dedication was given to their non-alcoholic Cocktails, really appreciated that for my partner! Not to mention the staff and vibes were amazing! ?

The prices are very expensive for a neighborhood bar, my simple drink was $21 and nothing to write home about, and the place was cold.

Such amazing food and a truly unique and thoughtful cocktail menu. Ambiance was top notch: I loved the low lighting and great hip hop playlist. My partner and I ordered 2 dishes and shared them and walked out feeling well nourished. I highly recommend a visit if you're on Greenwood, but be aware, this is a small space, so it might be crowded and you may have to wait a few minutes to get your drink order as all the cocktails are lovingly hand-mixed.
