What a bar… From the outside it doesn't look like much. The entrance is also steep, but the inside has its own charm. The service is very friendly and is very knowledgeable about the different drinks. You can order whatever comes to mind.

Drinks were phenomenal in this classy speakeasy bar! Best cocktails we've tried, and we've tried a lot!
