Love this place. The perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and good conversation. The drinks are wonderfully crafted and worth the price. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic.

If you're into fancy cocktails & leaving it up to the bartender 's creativity, plus a dark incognito-type vibe, this place is for you. Outstanding drinks, kind service ... but they do take their time.

Christa Barron

This place is amazing. The Bluth's Original is the stuff of dreams. Imagine freshly baked banana walnut bread but in a cocktail . I can't stop thinking about it. Must come back for more.

Stephen Sawyers

So much to choose from, so easy to get tipsy. One drink equals four down the street and there are few better spots to visit when arranging a date.

Mike

Dark and mysterious with unique signature cocktails ! A little edgy and a lot of fun!

Rachel Rothbarth

My favorite place for drinks. The cocktails are unique and scrumptious. The bartenders and servers and friendly and know their stuff.

Two words: Harlem Renaissance. It may not always be on the menu, but they can always make it.

While the sugar house is nice. It's got nothing on this place. Better drinks. Nicer decor and a friendly staff

Great little place for a drink for two or a group having a get-together. Be warned, however, when the server says the drink is strong, the drink is strong! - Mike
