Came here for some drinks and food before a show and the atmosphere is such a fun vibe! Drinks and food came out quickly after they were ordered and the cocktails were some of the best I’ve had. The old fashioned and their bananas in pajamas are delightful! For food I ordered a chicken plate, a side of airfried brussel sprouts, and crème brûlée for dessert. Will definitely come back again!

***Happy Hour Chronicles*** So I've been wanting to try this place for a while and was excited to be going for their "peach week" special + happy hour. I tried a peach daiquiri and my friend had the peach margarita, both were strong but fairly tasty. We both also enjoyed the "boss lady" drink off their limited happy hour menu featuring a cute basil leaf garnish, that drink was the favorite because it was actually pretty refreshing and not overly strong. For food I would highly recommend the barbacoa tacos and arancini, those were both delicious! I feel like for a happy hour this place is still a little pricey, but if that doesn't matter to you then definitely check it out

The atmosphere & the music was not the best but overall okay. Now, the cocktails are Great!, and the Appetizers and food so Good! I was expecting the chicken plate to be a little larger, but the taste and tenderness was Amazing. I would go again.

Absolutely delightful! Went before a show at the Music Circus and enjoyed the all day happy hour on Saturday. The cocktail menu is fantastic, with creative twists on classics. The happy hour small plates were fantastic as well! The decor is also well done. Overall, highly recommend!

A new tapas/small plate place from a great, local chef. They had a good selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. The menu was simple, affordable and a range of tapas/small plate options. The food was DELICIOUS, and perfect for these hot summer days. The service was fantastic, as they were both friendly and tentative to our needs. Plenty of seating, both at the bar or at tables throughout. It was busy with people after work and seemed like a great place to get happy hour and a light bite to eat! Definitely will come back with friends.

Good hotel bar that doesn't feel entirely like a hotel bar. Haven't tried the food yet. Bartender was busy, but fast and polite service. I recommend the Jingle Juice (rum pineapple) and El Diablo (tequila black currant). Sleigh All Day (vodka pomegranate) and Golden Hour (grapefruit G&T) were both a bit one-note.

This place is really cute and doesn’t give a hotel bar vibes. You wouldn’t even know it was part of a hotel if you didn’t have to go through the hotel to use the bathroom lol came here for drinks and the starters. I wouldn’t necessarily say the apps are shareable‘s depending on how hungry you are, but overall pretty good tasting. The drinks are good! The service was great, they allowed us to push a couple tables together for a bigger group which was appreciated.
