Mist mist baby!
Rosemary V.

Came here on a Saturday night. Ambience: The area seems a little shady. Once you go inside, is not any less shady lol. When you walk in, you encounter a very dark hallway that leads into a narrow space, one side where the bar is and the other with booths to sit. Based on the smell, you could tell a couple of people were having a good time with Mari, if you know what I mean. As you keep walking to the back, you enter a square room with the Dj booth. You can barely see who you are dancing with so take a close look before exchanging any numbers. Mist is sprayed every so often which I personally liked. The crowd was quite diverse, from preppy, to hipster, to "bros", I was quite surprised. Music: It's techno, like the music with no lyrics. I'm cool with this music but only to an extent, I need some lyrics or be extremely intoxicated to dance to this type of music for more than 1.5 hours. Drinks: We got there before midnight and the mate drink was sold out, I was so so disappointed! Shots were $13. Service: Not that I had much interaction but everyone seemed nice. This was an experience worth embarking in at least once. Chances that I will return are slim but not impossible.

It's pretty in here

I'm already in love with this place and I haven't even seen it on a Friday night. Whuuuut. Wednesday night and they have a killer DJ and a packed crowd? Decently priced drinks and its gorgeous inside? Love it all

Still early!

They are one of the few places in the city that serves Club Mate which is a badass mixer with Vodka.

This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
