Cutest spot.

Drinks are extremely expensive but are super tasty & strong & extremely nicely made!

Make sure to make a reservation, because even on a Monday night, it's completely packed! I only waited for a table for about 5 minutes, so I was happy.

The perfect spot for a girls night.

It was alright. The interior is super dark & it's way too loud. Very busy. Waited only a little for a table in the waiting area where you can also grab a drink. Service was quick but nonexistent thereafter. For the prices, thought the drinks would be yummier & stronger. I think it's just for the aesthetic.
