    The bartenders are so creative with their cocktails. I'm rather picky with my cocktails as I tend to dislike overly sweet and typical ones. After I told the bartender to mix me something "savory and sour and go nuts with it", he made me a drink that is ginger as the base with a bit of lime, pear and a whole bunch of other stuff. My husband asked for "an old fashioned similar drink", and he made him a pineapple based drink. Ginger drink was so unusual (strong ginger balanced with can bit of sweet and sour with other herb infused syrup) and that is what I look for in a bartender - like a chef with their ingredients, I appreciate a bartender that can flourish in creativity. The old fashioned drink was unfortunately too sweet for my husband and so the next round he asked for "something strong and less sweet with a whiskey base". He received a black berry basil infused cocktail. All their drinks don't have a strong alcohol taste - either they mix it so well that it blends in or their is not much in there. All drinks are Q20 each (Q10 on Thurs) You are welcome to locate a marker and write a message on the wall.

    This place is AMAZING! I’m a big lover of creative cocktails, and this delivered. By far best cocktails I’ve had in a long time. Further, the bartenders were fun and loved going into depth about their passion. Music was a great vibe—very Berlin vibes. Prices were shockingly cheap, far cheaper than any bar I’ve visited in Guatemala. Go! You won’t be disappointed!

    If you’re looking for a for AWESOME cocktails around the lake, this is the place! No menu, just tell what you like (sweet, sour, salty, etc.) and the magic will happen. I had a lot of cocktails at different place around the world and this place beat them all!! If you’re in Pana and looking for tasty cocktails, this is the place 🥃

    Great fruit inspired cocktails from the freshest ingredients. Expect a long wait (20-30 minutes) because the bartender is making everything from scratch. Very cool vibes

    Don’t walk but run to the cocktail bar. The cocktails are one of a kind and delicious. It’s very cool that they have no menu and the bartender makes a drink based on your likes. I had two unique drinks and both were amazing . Definitely recommend this place. Also have your camera ready for when the drinks come out because all the drinks come with a show

    This bar is absolutely 💯 special!!!! The owner and staff take extreme pride in serving the best handcrafted cocktails with style and some flames occasionally. The music is always amazing and never overwhelming. Just a really special place where you can also even sign your name in a place you choose or draw a picture. Just come try this place and see if you love it like me😎

    This place has some of the most creative cocktails around. Love that he uses fresh juice. Even better than the cocktails is the conversation

    Nice cocktails but a small bar, not much space

  • 5/5 Matt 1 year ago on Google
    This bar was hands down the best part of our trip to the lake! The bartender Daisy was so ridiculously fun, accommodating, friendly, and welcoming, it really made our trip. We ended up going back the next night! :P

  • 5/5 Alanna S. 4 years ago on Google
    No menu, they make you a custom cocktail catered to your taste. The bar is off the street and is nothing like any other bar in Pana. Stop in for sure. Ricardo is the coolest bartender in Pana! Don't forget to tip your bartenders :)

  • 5/5 Sarah G. 4 years ago on Google
    Not only the best bar in Panajachel but my favorite bar in the world. I didn't even drink cocktails before I started coming here and now I wouldn't go out for a drink anywhere else. Innovative and interesting flavor combinations in their drinks (and my friends and I have special requested a whole slew of strange combos at this point) and a great community of people to hang out with while you are there. (And ladies...don't miss out on the Q10.00 cocktails on Thursday night for ladies night).
