Had super cute drinks for a friends birthday. They were the most accommodating to all our obnoxious requests (moving tables, candles, etc) and all the servers went above and beyond to make her night special! Definitely a great spot to celebrate.

This place is absolutely amazing and a total vibe! The drinks all have a story associated with them, and even the mocktails are expertly crafted and delicious, easily in hot competition for among the best places and mocktails I've had. Charlotte was a very friendly and attentive server, and James was a master mixologist even whipping together an off-menu mocktail request. Absolutely worth your time if you like masterfully made drinks experience in a calm, cozy setting... IF you can find the door... 😉
