Jackson the bartender is an absolute legend. Tell him what flavors or notes you're looking for in a cocktail, & he will whip up something customized to your liking (with rum as the primary spirit of course, as this is a rum bar). There's no standard menu as such. The cocktails were strong & dangerously delicious - you couldn't tell how much booze is in each drink because they taste so good. Jackson is a lot of fun to talk to, & he clearly has a lot of passion for mixology. Come for the tasty custom cocktails, but stay for the conversation & vibe. Note that it's a small & intimate space, so don't expect too much privacy.
