Great location and amazing drinks. I appreciated the level of detail they placed in their menu design, by not only listing the ingredients but also the quick description of the drink's vibe. The standout drink for me was the one described as a PB&J. I havn't felt that type of a texture before in a drink and really lives up to the name, I would recommend it for something you wouldn't normally experience.

The small plates were a lot more intricate than expected, and tasted very good, great quality for bar food. Especially towards the end, I was not expecting to see the souffle as an option, or how well it was executed.

I would recommend going to this place as a regular location for drinks, or a special occasion based on the price point but well worth visiting!

Loved the atmosphere of this place! Service was super nice and friendly! We accidentally spilled two of our drinks and they quickly remade it for us without charge. All the drinks we got were perfect! But my favourite would have to be Sonic the hedgehog. Food was good too! I recommend the beef tartare.

Overall: good vibes, food, and drinks. I will def come back!

Truly unique selection of signature cocktails. Don’t sleep on the Ctrl + shift + n.

Duck confit was incredibly rich yet not fatty; love that you can get them by the pair. The savoury churros were crisp and the accompanying pimento cheese spread was addictive. My only complaint was I wish there were more of it.

I had a lovely time here with friends as it was their first time having canapés! The cocktails were amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the drinks. We all got the tasting menu but unfortunately they ran out of the pork jowl, so they substituted that course with beef tartare and savoury churros. All of the canapés were delicious and I highly recommend getting the tasting menu as you won’t regret trying everything. Overall, I would definitely come here again as it ticks all my boxes for what makes a great bar, good ambience, service, cocktails and food 😋!
