Initially, when they give you a welcome drink, I thought this place was going to be amazing. The welcome drink was delicious! Whatever that drink was, it was stellar & thought everything after would be of that quality. I think the concept is incredibly interesting, being able to tell the bartender your flavour preferences & then have them provide you with a drink. However, my friends & I did not necessarily love our drinks. It tasted a bit like the juices that are too artificial to put in the fridge in grocery stores mixed with a bit of alcohol. Perhaps it might have been the bartender we got that night & we got unlucky, but 4/4 of our drinks that we ordered were simply not so good.
They don't have a drink menu. You tell the bartender what you like & he makes you a drink. 3/3 Max did an awesome job. I loved everything he made. Starred it for next time we're in town. NOTE: it's a very small place (25 seats). If there is a long line you're probably going to be waiting a long time. We tried to get in on a Saturday, but didn't want to wait (as we were leaving someone said they had been waiting over an hour). We went back the following day & got right in.
Little bar with no menu. Bartenders are knowledgeable of drinks & can put a nice spin on your cocktails! We visited out of town; highly recommend going right after it opens & before dinner hour as they do get busy & only accommodate 25 people.
Our first experience with this place was amazing, but has been overshadowed by our second. Bad one: The person at the door was the most wild customer service experience I've ever had. That's fine if you have a "no more than 6" policy, but no one in our group was rude to him & he was awful & aggressive right away. That's fine if you turn us away, it happens, but at least treat us with some decency. We brought a large group, hoping to split off in small groups in any way they would allow. No issue if we needed to sit completely apart, if some had to wait in the lobby because the space is so small. We were even making jokes that we would go in 3/3/2 & pretend we didn't know each other. We also came right when they opened to make sure we didn't bother them at rush hour. Ultimately, he just wanted us to leave & would not communicate with us about alternatives. 4 of us ended up leaving, & the 4 newbies went inside. They said it was fine, but they were upset as to how the rest of us were treated & it clouded their experience as well. Also, there was plenty of room for us the entire time they were there apparently. Policy is policy, but at least treat people better when you have to use it. That conversation could have gone 100 different ways that would have resulted in us wanting to come back another time. Good one, 5 stars: For small groups, it really is a lot of fun. Our first bartender was amazing & we loved all the questions he asked us to get us the perfect cocktails. He really made us want to come back again, obviously. 10/10 I would recommend just answering the questions as they ask them, rather than bring up your favorite cocktail & try to get a spin on it. The creations my friends had were delicious & nothing I would have thought of before. Really a one of a kind experience for us!
