I'm surprised this place doesn't have better reviews! I only went once for some happy hour drinks…read morewith friends, but it was a really stellar experience.
We wanted the happy hour (2 drinks for $200 pesos) but we got there about 5 minutes before it ended at 8pm. We were in a rush, ready to order 2 drinks each in that moment, but the server was like, "No, it's okay, relax and take your time. I'll still give you happy hour prices." We had an experience in another place the night before where happy hour magically got cut off 10 minutes before it was supposed to end, so this was a pleasant surprise to us. But I digress.
The drinks! Absolute amazing works of art! No wonder they regularly cost 200 pesos a pop, they're the real deal. They come complete with fancy garnishes and all. I got 2 bloody Marys, but also sampled some of my friends' craft cocktails. My favorite was the one that comes with sake, I can't remember the name, but it was amazing! There were so many different flavors but they all worked together in perfect harmony. Well done, bartender.
The ambiance is really nice, hip and dimly lit. The food also looked amazing (we were near the kitchen window and watched as the plates were brought to their tables.) We didn't end up eating there, but I would come back in the future to see if their food is up to par with their cocktails.
All in all, a great spot to try out if you're near Barrio Chino. At the very least, come here for happy hour. It's SO worth it.
