All the bartenders are amazing and super friendly . I love it here. Seth makes a bad ass Patron margarita . Cortney makes great drinks and love jäger so buy her a shot!

Aaron and crew are amazing. It always amazes me the level of professionalism the entire staff keeps even when it's so packed you can hardly turn around.

Peyton

I love a wine list rich with Washington state selections. Staff is very friendly ..that may not mean much based on the fact I live in Chicago..but they remember your name & use it. Fake name=fun.

Great food. Haven't had an item I haven't liked yet. Try it all.

Nini Boyd

APRIL is the best (and one if the prettiest) bartender in town ! TIP HER GOOD! Awesome venue too!

Brandon Roberts

Nice cocktails , food is good, crowd tends to be dressed up here.

Be careful before take a seat! You may stick on the chair because of spilled and uncleaned drinks.

Vesper Martini and Blue Moon, two characteristics, are loved!

Mike Haars

Food wine drinks are all excellent

Jennifer Wallen

Felt like I was the freak show in the middle of a three ring circus and did not appreciate being poohed out by the waitstaff as undesirables and should be put outside or against the wall, wont be back

Chris Hill

Get the Vesper Martini . Best darn martini ever. Plus, it's a James Bond classic.

Jeff Potts

Half off Martinis on Wednesdays!

Paul McKinney

The smoked salmon appetizer is ridiculous good!

Emily L

The small cheese plate is not worth the money. It had only four small slices of cheese and some fruit . They should call it the fruit plate , really.

Don't let the waitress forget to bring you your credit card when she holds it as a deposit for a Moscow Mule . No apology from staff the next day. Pretty poor service.

Brad Cuthbertson

Classiest place for cocktails in Knoxville...

Slowest bartenders ever. On a busy Friday night, one of them was crouched down behind the bar doing her make-up.
