I went there for my birthday, & all the bartenders were so kind. They even offered us a shot for the occasion! We had such a great time, the music & the atmosphere were perfect. I'd recommend this place!

Première visite dans ce bar, coup de coeur grâce a l'accueil du serveur Nicolas, il a été exemplaire, nous a fait passer un bon moment en meme temps de répondre à tous nos questions sur les drinks, franchement je recommande à 100%. On a pas attendu aussi ce qui est très intéressant, une table fut assignée a nous directement. On a passer une excellente soirée, merci Nico !

Every time I come here, I'm always happy when Nico is at the bar. He is very professional, super nice, & always has the best energy. His drinks are amazing, but also his personality makes the whole place feel even better. Nico really gives something special to the bar. I hope when you come, you have the chance to meet him & have the full experience.

Nico was our waiter. He was incredibly patient, accommodating, & a natural at serving. 10/10 service. Would come back any day. We are from Vancouver & would fly back again for this bar.

By far one of my favourite bars in the city but the service we got last night was by far the worst i've experienced at a bar, the security rushed us to finish our drinks telling us we need to leave in five minutes ,granted the closing time had approached but there were a group of men still sitting & they weren't approached as rudely if at all because we left & they were still sitting. My friend rushed to finish her drinks but i left mine , your security needs to learn how to speak to customers

Server was extremely rude & barely checked on us during our stay. When my friend asked for the bill & before he could tap his card, the waitress took note of the tip %, sat down at the table with us, & pressured my friend into giving a larger tip, which he did. Except her service was not deserving of any tip at all...

Asked Nico to make me something based on what I usually like instead of ordering off the menu, & he completely understood the assignment 😛
One of the best cocktails I've had in a while. Super chill guy, great energy, & seriously talented behind the bar. If you stop by, ask for Nico! 🍸😉
