The cask strength rye finished in Spanish vermouth bottles was a banger and the old fashioned with it blew us away! Burgers and fries were soooo good! The wheated bourbon, the honey bourbon, the 100 proof bourbon.... And the ryes....The list goes on and on. We didn't have a bad pour all night! 10 out of 10. Just go experience it yourself!!!

Even though the place was completely full, the service was still quick and really good. They brought out more chairs to accommodate our growing party and we never had to wait long for drinks. After about an hour, we slid through the back door and into the speakeasy. This portion of the bar was equally impressive and had the same high end vibe. More great service, more great drinks. Some Louis XIII may have been poured- which came with white glove service and a complete history lesson btw lol Literally zero complaints. Just a great night out.

The service was ok and the drinks were kinda pricey. But it was a cute place to get drinks and I'd go back to try another drink.

Nice bathrooms too

The location is money, super convenient right around the corner from House of Blues and Toyota Center. You'll often see a mix of locals and out-of-towners on most nights. Bar area gets lively on weekends, but the service stays on point.. The bartenders here are very knowledgeable, can make a drink off the menu if you asks.. The whiskey selection extensive and the staff actually knows how to guide you through it if you're not sure what you want. Vibe is more of a low lit, cozy, and feels a little upscale without being too pretentious.. Good spot for date night or just grabbing drinks with friends after a show. A solid cocktail spot to checkout

Loved it! This…read morecharming bar is located on Washington St. And the have valet (you just tip the staff member), the parking space is limited but you can also park behind and access through the back. The vibe is chill but classy, you can talk without the need to yell to be heard. Dimmed lights, cozy and intimate atmosphere, what's not to like?! They have bites and entrees, but I went for bites, the Margarita Pizza was delightful, thin crispy crust with fresh mozzarella cheese. Also got the baked Brie, I love Brie and it didn't disappoint, I just wished the bagged was toasted instead soft. I ordered a drink... PornStar Martini, and I really liked it, it was refreshing and slightly sweet. Our server was very attentive and helpful with the menu, her name.. Hope, she will make sure you had a great experience. Definitely coming back!

We came a couple weeks ago during the World Cup and it was the perfect reprieve from all the fan fest craziness. They had a projector on so you could still watch the game but it was much calmer and quieter here. The drinks are super reasonable and the food is typical bar food but honestly really good! The loaded fries are my go to. Overall I really enjoy this bar and will be keeping it in mind for future times when maybe other bars in EADO are a little too crazy.

The bartender however was rude. There were maybe 3 people at the bar and they all had drinks. She had gotten done with the last person and was finishing up the transaction on the palm reader. She then proceeded to walk past us twice, look at us looking at her, then walk by again. When she noticed we weren't going away she asked what we needed and took our order very annoyed. We ordered two shots a beer and a tequila tonic. They were meh and her attitude made it not worth it. The rooftop bar was self service so every time we wanted to get a drink we would have had to go downstairs to get it from the bar so we opted to just leave after our one shot and one drink each. We both liked the decor and the music though. There was plenty of backing around the back. The bathrooms were coed and clean.

We got here at around 8PM on a Tuesday night, and all sat/stood near the bar. Drinks were made and served very promptly. The bartenders definitely know their stuff and there are some classic cocktails here that are popular in other cities like NYC. I saw the sign for their private barrel 9yr Elijah Craig ($11/oz at 130.5 proof) and had to give it a shot. Deliciously strong with vanilla notes and very, very sippable. No regrets, would definitely get it again. Overall, great spot for cocktails that's nice and quiet, I'd come back.

They also have an upstairs with lots of comfortable chairs and a few sofas. The lights are dim making this bar feel like a cozy speakeasy. The drinks are priced great and made to order.
