A dimly lit, super cute speak easy that wasn't easy to find but not impossible! Loved the vibe inside that had quite a bit of seating both at the bar & table. Drink selection was unique & you'll want to have a bit of an adventurous palette.

Aube, Camille & Francis made our visit the best experience ever. They are super friendly, helpful & a lot of fun. The atmosphere is cozy & a great vibe. Francis is very knowledgeable on all things whiskey. Wish I lived closer, I would be a regular for sure!

Excellent speakeasy!! Very hidden (loved it) with a short walk down the stairs after ringing the doorbell. It's across from Bevo, you will probably miss it but that's okay someone will direct you. If you're serious about well crafted cocktails then you are at the right spot!!

Endroit cozy ou allez prendre un bon verre de whisky, ils ont une grande variété à déguster & les cocktails sont très bon. Parcontre j'étais venue une soirée seule & je n'ai pas trop apprécié la serveuse qui m'a servie. Elle est quasiment partie avec mon éventail après qu'elle l'ai complimenté comme quoi qu'il étais « très beau » après avoir pris ma commande sur la table.

LOVED the vibe & the secretive nature of this place! If you're looking for the duck, you won't see it unless it's dark outside, so look for the button (pictured). I really enjoyed my drink & the ambience, & the service was fairly pleasant, but there was a tiny bit of a weird smell that was a little off-putting. I would definitely recommend & return.
