I’ve been coming to this whiskey bar for over 14 years, and it never fails to deliver. From quiet nights to birthday bashes, anniversaries, and even Mother’s Day celebrations, this place has been part of some of my most cherished memories. What truly sets it apart—beyond the curated whiskey list and spot-on cocktails—is the phenomenal service. Bartenders Yaya & Kal absolute standouts. Their knowledge, warmth, and attention to detail take the entire experience to another level. Every drink is crafted with care, and they always remember your favorites—or surprise you with something even better. If you’re looking for a place where every pour is precise, the vibe is relaxed yet refined, and the team feels like family, look no further. This bar isn’t just a spot—it’s a tradition.
