    This is the perfect spot for intimate drinks before meeting friends, or dinner before a show.

    The cocktail menu is fantastic. There are also some mocktails, and I appreciate that they're actually based on actual classic cocktails, unlike other places that charge cocktail prices for a cup of juice.

    The food is also very good! Everything is small and shareable so you can try a few different dishes.

    One thing to note that I always forget: for me, it's very cold inside! Definitely bring a sweater or jacket if you run cold.

    I’ve had great cocktails before, but this felt like something else entirely—borderline a religious experience from the moment we walked in. Every drink was crafted with precision and intention, with flavors that didn’t just balance but told a story, and “Next Year’s Model” stands out as the best cocktail I’ve ever had—complex, smooth, and evolving with every sip. The food was just as impressive, thoughtful and perfectly executed, complementing the drinks without ever being overshadowed. This isn’t just a cocktail bar, it’s an experience that lingers long after you leave and quietly resets your expectations for a night out. Thank you Ralph!
