The ambiance is very lively and always a good time. I've been here a couple times for happy hour and at night as well. Service is actually really good for a bar that's always busy.

The happy hour specials are a great way to try out the menu $7 cocktails, $5 martinis, discounted caviar service at $47.

Now--fair warning--we went on a Friday night and it was PACKED. We were lucky enough to find seats, but it was so crowded we could barely talk without yelling, and we were basically shoulder-to-shoulder with the people around us Other than that, it's a really nice spot to grab drinks, hang out with friends, and get some cute content. Would I go again? Yes... just maybe not on a Friday night

I'm not sure why the reservation is even an option because there is no hostess and it is open seating. The drinks we got were great! There were many great drink options and they did not disappoint. Unfortunately, it was difficult to get service. When we did get someone to help us, we also ordered truffle fries. The fries were fine, but there was definitely no truffle flavor to them. In general, it was fine enough. Nice atmosphere, music and drinks.

It's modern, spacious, and feels really luxe with earthy tones and interesting design elements. With this in mind, I definitely recommend dressing up. The cocktails that we tried were all well balanced and beautifully presented in delicate glassware and thoughtful garnishes. These are all $17 but the bartender mentioned that they also do a happy hour until 6:30 during which cocktails are $10. I will definitely come back for this another day. We also got the Carajillo shots, a cocktail that we normally enjoy, and while they came in cute little long steamed shot glasses, and were tasty, the strength of the shot was honestly just like a tiny portion of the regular cocktail. I would skip this next time and just get a full size version. Gratuity (20%) is added to all tabs in addition to a credit card processing fee (3%). Parking in Montrose is always a challenge so I would definitely recommend taking an Uber or Lyft. Overall, a solid spot for drinks!

The onion rings were also good, just needed a little extra seasoning to really bring them up a notch.

I imagine it can get pretty crowded during peak hours & when there is a DJ (I noticed the DJ booth).

The bartender was cool with positive energy. As a bartender myself I love to see other bartenders in a great mood. I order the peaches and cream martini (easy on the vodka). The martini was yummy. I also got the Flexx Skillet Dip. It was a little too cheesy for me. I was hoping to taste more of the smoked turkey & collard greens instead of the house cheese sauce. I loved the wonton chips that come with it. The reason I gave it 4 stars was due to the dip being too cheesy and the 2nd bartender (not my original one). As a bartender I'm use to working as a team, so I expect that from most bartenders who are working behind the bar together. While my bartender was busy assisting others, the young lady who was working with him checked on the customer to my left and right as if my seat was empty.
