    I ordered their La mule($10). Worth every pennies! Mint was fresh and vodka was strong.
    Lili H.

    First time came here for a girls night out, this place looks super low key from the outside but very artsy and classy in the inside. Music was "different" but wasn't my type of music. But, the drink was what's worth my 5 stars. The bar have a great selections of cocktails, beers and wines. I ordered their La mule($10). Worth every pennies! The bartender Alma used fresh ingredients with good amounts of alcohols which compares to many popular bars and clubs that charge ridiculously high price for some cheap drinks. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a bar with quality drinks. P.s: they also have special performance too(the lady that did the fire dance was a mood booster of the night ).

    My wife and I came here to meet a close friend and have some drinks and a bite. It was recommended that we try the La Mule drink for $10 which was awesome, and then we ordered 10 tacos with various fillings and meats. Now I have not been in night clubs in a very long time and I do enjoy music a little louder than the average but man this DJ did not get it period. The music was incredibly loud and I discovered why as they have over 1000 Watt speakers and a few of them in this little place, speakers large enough for an outdoor stadium. We begged and pleaded the waitress to ask the DJ to lower the volume with no luck, then my wife went to ask him to lower the volume because we could simply not hear each other and it was uncomfortable to even enjoy the other wise good taco's I would have given this place 3 stars for a inconsiderate DJ, but it was what happened after we paid and left. I ran into a guy that introduced himself as the owner, I gave him credit for good food and drinks but the music is meant for a night club for a dinner/bar, it was then that his must be girl friend yelled at my wife an friends. "Don't come the F$%ck BACK " I guess we not going back since we have been told not to do so.

It was no wonder when we arrived that there was a line out the door. We waited around 45 minutes, and the bouncer was a really nice fellow who kept track of the numbers and people at the door. Upon entering, we were immersed in a dimly lit retro-style lounge. It was quite loud inside and packed as we walked to our seats. The server was great at taking our orders and offering suggestions. I opted for the French 75, which featured sparkling wine and mixed gin, brandies, and citrus. The drink was delicious, but STRONG. I don't know what they put in the cocktails in America, but I am always finished after one drink. Needless to say, we were all struggling to finish our own drinks. My favourite touch was the coasters, I ended up keeping all of them so that I can reuse them at my galentines event next year. The 'bisous' with the kiss on the other side is a perfect touch! I think the drinks are fairly priced for USD. I would love to return someday to try other drinks and bar bites, and also try their sister bar, Sparrow.

Imagine my shock when we didn't even make it past the bouncer because he was so rude, AS OTHER RECENT REVIEWS HAVE MENTIONED AS WELL! We had dinner nearby and walked to Bisous after, and saw there was a line of 5 or 6 people outside. We expected this as we knew Bisous is a first come, first serve bar. We were curious what the wait time would look like, so we approached the front door to ask a host or employee inside (we assumed there'd be a desk with an employee working it who could give us a wait time). We had no problem waiting, just wanted to see how long they estimated it would be! Before we could even fully open the door, the bouncer swung the door open from the other side and hit me with the door. I stumbled back a few steps and he looked at us and said, and I quote, "What do you want?". I laughed at first because I thought he was joking and putting on a tough guy act. He was not. We quickly explained we just wanted to see what the wait time was, and he said "don't you see there's a line outside?" We said yes, and explained we just wanted to know a rough estimated wait time. He just blankly stared at us while ushering us out. Both my boyfriend and I have worked in customer-service roles for a very, very long time. This encounter was not only extremely rude and unprofessional, but he also hit me hard enough with the door to send me stumbling back, and then said nothing about it and continued to address us in a tone that was nothing less than annoyed and irritated. We didn't end up going inside because that encounter left such a bad taste in our mouths. I don't believe in spending my money at establishments that don't treat their customers with the bare minimum respect they deserve! Bummed we didn't get to experience it, as I'm sure it was lovely inside and I can only hope the rest of the employees were much more kind and accommodating, or at least able to answer a simple question. Fire your "bouncer" (??) and hire someone with some basic customer service and communication skills!!

    New favorite cocktail bar in the city!!…read more It's the perfect spot for a winter night-- the bar has moody lighting, an outdoor fireplace, and phenomenal cocktails. We tried a couple of drinks and our favorites were the espresso martini and the n/a garden smash. The espresso martini is a must order! It's clear and made with chocolate and a coffee foam. We got to speak with the beverage manager Alex and he told us all about how they make all of their syrups and juices in house, the drinks do not contain any major allergens, and many of them have no added sugar. You can tell that eveyone here is very proud of what they do!

After my drink next door, I would be remiss if I didn't stop in. What I got was one of the more unique and interesting cocktails I'd tried! It was the Sick Day, and while I don't command the English language or my palate enough to do it justice, I can tell you that it was definitely a great sipper. The absinthe mist, despite being just that, has a way of doing that. I want to give some credit to the service. While the bar was shorthanded at the time, the barman on duty did his very best as a one-man show. Can't fault them too much, someone calls out sick last minute, and that's that. However, if there is something I can hold against them it's the heat! I'm not sure why, but the upon coming in, the place was HOT! After settling in, it became more bearable, but this is the kind of thing that sometimes persuades me to leave before I order anything.

Service was meh. I didn't love seating at the bar for 20 minutes and not provided water or asked if I wanted a drink. Ah well. An excuse to not drink and save money I guess. Food is fine. I ordered truffle fries--nothing to write home about. Service was also spotty during my class. My server never brought what I requested. The stars are specifically for the floral class which was amazing! The instructor was absolutely fantastic and so informative. We were able to pick out stems and make a lovely arrangement. I also loved that they helped us wrap the bouquet professionally to gift if we wanted it. Fantastic! 5 stars and the instructor made this experience. There was another staff member there that tried to organize everything and made sure we had a good time and I appreciate that. I would return only to participate in the class.
