    Cabbage Pancake
    Michael C.

    Wow, what a great neighbor for Captain Gregory's. In an unassuming row of stores on a busy Henry Street, you will find a modern minimalist setting and be prepared for a great experience and some very tasty libations and noshes. The bartender, or should I say, master mixologist, has signature cocktails he can spin up and be sided with some awesome smalls. Special shout out to the bar team as well; friendly, fun and making everyone feel at home and important! Our first time in and we went for the Waygu based on a Rye with a black pepper and maple bitters concoction. Oh so good! The Cabbage Pancake was also delicious. Served as a Japanese style treat it sports endamame, shaved sprouts, fennel, pickles and the aforementioned cabbage.lightly adorned with balsamic and Japanese mayo; you will be salivating for this if you sit next to a patron who has this instead of you. While we were here early, we will be back for the Birds options as the Duck Confit and Banh Mi look awesome! Welcome to the neighborhood!

    The fries are basically chips, we loved it!!

    Loved the vibe and music here. Both appetizers I tried were so tasty, we cleaned our plates. Simple bar foods that were elevated with umami flavors. Bartender was mad cool, and made a delicious cocktail.

    Honey Chx Sandwich
    Savannah H.

    My husband and I really enjoyed our dinner here! The cocktails were handcrafted and delicious, and the chicken sandwich had a great balance of flavor and crispy. The service was also top notch. I appreciated the attention to detail. Would recommend for a chill date night or cocktails.

    $10 Cucumber cocktail on HH

    Came for Happy hour on a Friday around 5:30p or so and there were plenty of seats (indoor and outdoor). We were greeted instantly and brought menus. Overall, we would definitely be back becuase the drink quality is just as great as their sister Bar Captain Gregory's, which we love, without the wait. The food offerings are great to accompany the drinks. We got the spiral fries which are addicting! The banh mi sandwich is also good. If you have room for something sweet, try their yuzu donut for subtle sweet and savory flavors. The cucumber cocktail is delicious and balanced and I would highly recommend if you are a gin lover. I do wish there were greater differences in price in the happy hour menu and the standard menu for the cocktails.

    Pine, corn nuts, hibiscus.

    My wife (vegetarian) and I wanted to try out this place after seeing some it's social media posts. We stopped off for Friday happy hour, and we're not disappointed. Pros: awesome staff and service, chill atmosphere, and a locally owned business in Old Town North. Additionally, outstanding cocktails and ambience. Very Asian influenced cocktails and a limited menu with East Asian focus. We had the Pine and Hibiscus cocktails, with corn nuts. Yes, they have corn nuts. All three were delicious. My biggest issue is pricing: the happy hour menu didn't have any discernible difference in pricing from the regular menu. And overall pricing seemed a bit high for comparable tapas/cocktail spots.

    Great interesting cocktails and a variety of Japanese-inspired snacks. Friendly staff who took good care of us even though we just popped by for one drink.

    Shrimp tempura
    Aagya S.

    Loved the fried chicken Sandos and shrimp tempura. Unique drinks with unique food. Definitely worth a trip. Would recommend. Pricing is a little high but food is yummy. Ambience could be better. Place is tiny with limited seating. $100 for two people.

    The service was great as usual and the drinks were great. I had two of them which were the Modena…read moreSpritz and the Toki Highball. Both were excellent! The atmosphere was bar appropriate with minimal noise, so I didn't need to raise my voice at all since I was in the tabled area in the back. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely.

    My friend and I were looking for a quick bar to slip into around 10-11 PM and stumbled across this…read morespot. It's not too far from the waterfront, so it made for a nice walk after gelato. At first, you'll see what looks like just a pizza shop -- but if you head in and either use the side door or walk through and climb a set of stairs, you'll find the speakeasy upstairs. Very cool vibe: dark, cozy, and date-night ready. Drinks: 4/5 I ordered their take on an Old Fashioned, and it was definitely the highlight of the night but sweeter than I would have liked. They served it over a stamped solid block of ice (a small detail I ). My friend was abstaining from alcohol that night and asked for a non-alcoholic cocktail. To our surprise, they didn't just hand her a lemonade like most places -- they actually made her a crafted virgin drink, which she loved. Food: 3/5 We ordered fries and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The fries turned out to be waffle fries (not mentioned on the menu) and were overly crispy, so not really our favorite. The pizza was fine -- clearly sourced from the shop downstairs -- but it leaned oily and didn't really wow us. Service: 5/5 Pretty standard -- nothing over the top, but not neglectful either. Drinks came out reasonably fast, food followed, and we were checked on enough without it feeling pushy. Vibes: 4/5 The speakeasy itself is definitely the selling point. Dark, intimate, and stylish -- you feel like you've found a little hidden spot. All in all, the cocktails are the reason to come, especially if you're into whiskey. The food was forgettable, but it's convenient that you can order pizza upstairs. We spent about $30-40 for drinks and snacks, which isn't shocking for Old Town. Would I go back? Maybe if I was already in the area, but for a dedicated whiskey night, I'd probably head somewhere else.

    Ambiance: love the decorations. It wasn't too over the top. We sat by the 'fireplace' on the sofa…read morewhich was near the bar. It was comfortable and the patrons were all so kind and told us when our drinks were up. Love Del Rey neighborhood for the welcoming vibe as always!! Service: it was very busy but appreciated the bouncer outside that made sure it wasn't over capacity. We had a short wait outside then a longer line emerged. Inside, the bartenders were busy but it wasn't like a 20 mins wait or anything. Note that the kitchen closes at 10pm and they won't let anything slide in at 10pm... Food: no food but the drinks were on point! I would laminate the menus because it was pretty beaten up. I know it's a pop-up but with drinks and food - those paper menus get gross. Definitely a fun vibe and people had the best holiday cheer. Would recommend!

Amazing decorations make the environment for imbibing or having some nibbles a wonderful holiday experience. Among the holiday named drinks the best are the Partridge in a Pear Tree, We Forgot Kevin!, and Baby It's Cold Outside. But for the best tasting holiday classic, the Cousin Eddie's Eggnog sports a reindeer cookie and a twist on seasonal nogg, and Jimmy Stewart's Sazerac is a delightful twist on an Old Fashioned. As sorry as I'll be to see January arrive and the Joy on the avenue disappear, I can't wait to see what holiday themed pop-up will arrive next!

We headed over to the People's Drug, where we found a cozy cafe table outside. We kicked off happy hour with some refreshing cocktails, the Bubble Buck and Gindependence Collin's, both were fantastic and refreshing.

Great indoor and outdoor seating Service was a bit slow but the staff were really friendly. I would recommend knowing what you want to eat upfront so that you can put in that order with your drinks. Happy Hour Drinks: Bubble Buck-Excellent balance of liquor, sweetness, and bitterness. Excellent drink Gindependence Collins- Perfect summer drink, recommended for anyone who doesn't want to drink heavy liquor and those monitoring their sugar intake. Excellent drink Rosie's Negroni- Perfect twist on a Negroni. Excellent drink Needless to say, all of the drinks were perfect. Happy Hour Bites Truffle Fries- this was SO good! Crispy, fresh, and bursting with truffle oil flavor. Crispy chicken wings- I'm not a wet wings lover but this sauce was undeniably delicious and the wings were beautifully prepared. Overall we loved this place and look forward to returning.
