This is a little gem in Mainz. When I walked in I had a great first impression of the place, not because of the friendly staff, or the classy decor, not because of the use of high quality liquors, but it was the amount of fresh ingredients they use. I saw fresh basil , simple syrup, house made sweet and sour mix, and a lot of other things that cocktails bars in the area refused use.
I am a whiskey and bourbon type of guy. For the last two years I've been searching for a place that can make a proper Old Fashion and its been a horrible experience. Most put the most random things in the drink like, granulated sugars, oranges, cherries, etc. But know here, whoever trained the staff must have been a old catholic nun who slapped their wrist with a ruler whenever they put the wrong ingredients in a drink. I only say this because this the only place that I have found to make a near perfect Old Fashion.
Unfortunately, great drinks comes with great responsibility (Spider-Man reference.. don't judge me), and with all the drinks being freshly made, it does take a while. But if you actually sat at the bar and watched them make it, you'd understand that they are pouring to perfection. Also, this place is small, so on a Friday night it can be packed and very loud. Those two reasons are why this bar didnt receive a 5/5 rating.
The drinks are pricey, but its a cocktail bar with fresh ingredients, so expect to pay 7.50 to 9 euros on average, but most people have 1 or 2 and they are good.
I'd totally recommend this place if you're looking for a place to dress up a bit and got out for drinks. read more
