Very tasty cocktails . Love the drink menu.The bartenders here are really good at what they do. It's a beautiful bar with a vast selection of spirits . Get there early to avoid the line to get in.

Erik Hummel

Really great cocktails . Awesome bar area, not too big but not crowded either. Nicholas makes perfect drinks and caters to some flavor profiles you are looking for.

Stefanie (Trimble) Fluin

Super hard to get a table, mainly standing room only. Super limited snack/food menu. Drinks are fancy and super creative which is cool! Great spot if you want to sip on a cocktail .

Jay Mar

Bartenders are very friendly and helpful when choosing a drink; hard to get a seat when busy so expect usual standing or bar seat !

Jason D

Still getting into the groove of being open. Order at the bar but sit wherever. Very cool menu that allows you to order a type of drink based on what you feel like (easy sipping/adventurous/etc).

Matt Tracy

The french fries are served with Old Bay ketchup ! Being from Baltimore, this made me adore this place immediately. Not to mention the superb selection of spirits !

Ryan Leggett

Extensive collection of fine spirits from all over with tasty snacks . Pick out a bourbon and pair it with the pork belly chicharrones .

Katie Yamada

Asian Hotspot. Bartenders here actually care about the quality of the drinks, when the Milky Way comes back you NEED to get it (like a pineapple milky Bourbon drink). Can be massively crowded

Kevin Wong

Deviled Eggs and Chicken Waffle Sliders for food. Anything you can think of for drinks. Nice, open dining area and long bar with ample seating .

Ryan Lara

Knowledge staff . Great drink selection. You can ask your bartender for any traditional cocktail that's not on the menu .

Kathleen N.

If you're a scotch person, get the Williams. Very scotchy ❤

Joel C

Speakeasy cocktails - go crazy and ask for your favorite drink from a certain era. Pre-prohibition brandy old fashioned anyone?

Paulina

Great space, great cocktails and pretty delicious small bites. Don't bother with the deviled eggs though. They are really plain.

Pavan Kulkarni

Pretty good ambiance in San Jose downtown . The mezcal cocktails are good and loved their French fries

Jennifer

Violet Fizz ranks as the best drink of the night, but all of our cocktails were fantastic. Not pretentious , low-key service.

Good selection of whiskeys and spirits that needs to be seen. And tasted. :)
