A
review
by
a
cocktail
fanatic.
Ive
travelled
the
world
to
taste
the
best
of
the
best.
This
is
not
at
all
an
angry
review
or
me
nitpicking.
The
bar
presents
itself
as
a
place
with
creativity
and
top
notch
bartending.
I
will
review
it
as
such.
If
it
was
your
average
local
bar,
it
would
be
a
solid
10/10...
Unfortunately
this
bar
writes
checks
it's
drinks
cant
cash.
The
Place
-
Lovely
people
very
well
dressed.
I
really
liked
the
clientele
and
the
music
was
great
as
well.
It
was
too
dark
and
I
couldnt
see
my
cocktail
that
was
right
in
front
of
me.
This
was
is
a
problem
because
the
color
of
drink
and
any
little
touches
cant
be
seen.
Table
lamps
might
be
something
to
invest
in.
The
bar
is
clearly
too
small
for
the
amount
of
seats.
Each
bartender
has
to
serve
over
20
people
which
usually
creates
bottlenecks
in
service.
The
bartenders
-
Very
fast
and
it
seems
like
they
are
making
cocktails
non-stop.
I
wish
the
bar
was
longer
so
there
could
be
four
stations
to
serve
everyone
efficiently
and
give
people
a
more
personal
experience.
I
feel
bad
for
the
bartenders
here.
If
you
expect
to
have
a
chat
with
the
people
behind
the
bar,
you
are
wasting
your
time,
these
guys
have
to
hustle
to
complete
all
their
orders.
Please
tip
them
well.
The
drinks
-
Not
good.
Charging
16,
18,
20+
dollars
for
drinks
and
using
sour
mix
is
unexcusable.
They
need
to
incorporate
fresh
ingredients
into
their
drinks.
Squeezing
lemons
with
that
rush
of
orders
is
impossible,
but
day-of
pre-squeezed
citrus
is
vital
to
be
charging
such
high
prices.
Shake
technique
is
a
bit
weak
as
well
(probably
because
sheer
quantity
of
drinks
to
be
made)
I
felt
the
dilution,
air,
and
temperature
was
very
inconsistent.
The
balance
was
all
over
the
place
with
sweet,
sour,
and
bitterness.
Some
of
the
menu
drinks
incorporated
ingredients
that
were
lost
in
translation,
and
some
ingredients
did
not
play
well
together.
This
place
has
potential.
It
needs
a
bigger
bar,
more
stations,
more
bartenders,
better
lighting
for
the
tables,
fresh
ingredients,
better
technique,
better
balance,
better
recipes.
As
it
stands,
for
me
it
was
a
7/10
...for
your
average
bar
go-er,
this
is
grand
slam.
As
I
said
before,
if
this
was
just
regular
hole
in
the
wall
cocktail
bar
it
would
be
a
solid
10/10.
In
conclusion,
I
really
enjoyed
the
people
and
the
atmospher.
This
is
a
great
place
for
peope
who
just
want
a
drink
and
to
socialize.
Not
for
the
cocktail
snobs
such
as
myself.
I
will
return
again,
but
I
will
lower
my
expectations.
Sour
mix
has
not
place
in
cocktail
worth
over
12
bucks.
