I see many mixed reviews here. Yes, drinks are on the higher end of price, but ultimately, what counts is the experience. Do not be hesitant to try this place. This is my 3rd time coming here, and Chris and Matt both have always been attentive. The drinks are amazing. Seriously. I'm a beer drinker turned cocktail drinker because of this place. It really can't get any better. The taste of the cocktails is beyond belief. And watching them shake it up is, in and of itself, great to watch. This bar beats 33 Taps and Black Cat around the block. Trust me

Meh. Was a bit disappointed. My $30 burgers was greasy and just ok. The worst was the staff. Barely acknowledged when entering and then ignored by the bartender. My friend tool me for my birthday and we were planning on having many martinis and a delicious bottle of wine but we were so ignored we ended up just having the one round. This pic is of our sad empty martini glasses that were finished well before our food arrived. Oh, and there were only 7 people in the bar. Probably won't go back.

I have never received worse service than I have, twice, here. I shouldn’t have given it a second chance honestly. The drinks are alright, but for prices that rival Death and Co and more creative, innovative cocktail bars, it’s just not worth it.
Primarily my problem with this place is the service though, which was so abominable both times I went that I felt embarrassed to have taken someone there. Having worked in the industry for a long time I was floored by the lack of any kind of decorum, warmth, or attention from the bar staff.
A couple examples: one of the bar staff spilled a large amount of water into the bar while we sat there, prompting us to hastily pick up phones and wallets and move them out of the way. But despite definitely noticing what had happened, the mess didn’t get cleaned up until we asked, awkwardly like 10 minutes later.
We had to wait forever to be addressed initially after sitting down, we had to ask for menus, we had to try and catch their attention to finally order drinks. And this wasn’t because they were super busy either, two bartenders were just standing behind the bar chatting as we tried to catch their eye.
I picked up the whole tab when I took my friend there because I felt embarrassed about the whole scene, and as someone who also works in the industry, he sent me a text to tell me I shouldn’t tip them at all. That’s a pretty bad sign.

I will never go back here, which is too bad, because it’s beautiful.

Small place, I enjoy going during off days. The drinks are great

And just like that another great place for a vibe.. Looks lik it wants to be like a NYC bar but it's just too slow for the high prices but honestly besides the amazing atmosphere you're left with mediocre drinks.. $20 for a negroni it was good and had great detail in the ice friend ordered a mocktail and just thought it would be a few bucks for a soda water, lime, and mint but the bartender charged close to $11 dollars.. But i guess thats LA. I think what really throws me off is the staff is just slow but nice.. stood at the bar for maybe 15 mins to order but it was crowded maybe short staffed and didnt realize how busy it was going to be? Would i come back maybe if i was in the area and pop in for a cocktail but would I go out of my way?

Really cozy bar with sofas and comfy chairs to lounge in if you don't want to sit at the bar. The bartenders make delicious drinks.

It’s what it is. You want a fun night out with great music, killer drinks and sexy people…this is the spot

Pricey? Yeah, but not crazy
Crowded? Yeah, thats what you want at this kind of spot
