    Boss little cocktail bar with friendly servers and knowledgeable staff. The cocktails themselves were extremely well executed and the guys definitely know what they are doing and are passionate about it as well which I love to see. I also had a bourbon which I really enjoyed and got a dirty martini which is one of my favourite cocktails and one of the best that I've ever had. I'll definitely be back again. Nice atmosphere in the bar as well without being too noisy.

  • 4/5 Marcella Rosenberg Del C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great drinks, but unfortunately very slow service as the bartender was doing everything by himself, playing the role of a waiter as well.

  • 5/5 Nikita L. 1 year ago on Google
    A cocktail bar with a nice atmosphere. Definitely, a perfect place to taste unique rums, especially because you can always ask for advice at the bar.

  • 5/5 Travis N. 2 years ago on Google
    Really enjoyed the snacks they served as well as the fun drink choices. The atmosphere was nice but became something more special when they dimmed the lights down low making it feel more private in its tight quarters.

  • 5/5 Emmanuelle A. 3 years ago on Google
    Taste and you'll know why!

  • 5/5 Arnaud M. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent cocktail bar in Brussels. Drinks are awesome, very well thought of. Barmen are very knowledgeable, they will always know what you want to get. Best place for cocktails in Brussels, a must do!

  • 4/5 Laurent F. 5 years ago on Google
    Cocktails are finely tuned and good conversational vibe. Seats are comfortable, tables are wide, music is not overly powerful and lighting is tamed. Nice spot for post diner chat & drinks. Mocktails for those who had enough... Service is good.

    Very swank little cocktail bar. Reminds me of something I'd see in Los Angeles. Delicious cocktails. Best of all, water offered. If only other bars in brussels would catch on!

  • 5/5 Nicolas V. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best place in Brussels to drink cocktails. Super nice, warm and cosy atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and know what they are talking about. The prices are fair for the product. You get also free continuous refill of tap water. A must-go place ! Be advised that they don't serve anything else than spirits and cocktails

  • 5/5 Danai V. 3 years ago on Google
    These guys are the best at what they do. Just get in, describe what your palate needs, and watch them blow your tastebuds away. WOW. Everytime I go there it gets better and better <3

  • 4/5 Margot P. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice cocktail place, but definitely not my favorite. => Cocktails: the choice was a very limited, they mostly serve rhum-based cocktails and I didn’t see anything on the list that I really enjoyed. I had to ask for the bartender’s suggestion which was ok but not wow. The glass they served my cocktail in was uglier than the glass of water, very minimalist but not fancy at all which was disappointing => Ambiance: we sat outside which was very nice, I enjoyed the atmosphere => Service and staff: the service was excellent and the staff was friendly, we were well taken care of. The free continuous refill of tap water was awesome. => Price range: 11-14€ => Other comments: would have loved if they had few more snack options
