Stumbled upon this place while visiting. We wanted to find something fun and different! We happened to stop by towards the end of the week. It was still fairly early, but late for Thursday night. We tried a bunch of different drinks they had, but mostly their Old Fashioned drinks, or ones that were similar to it. I enjoyed their Old Fashioned and ones with a twist. I did try some of the other drinks, but it's been awhile to remember the names of them. But if you're willing to try new things, this would be the place to do so! The Butcher's board was a great little snack to share with others. There was just two of us, but we enjoyed trying different cheeses and other things on the spread. Delish! Would come back if we were to visit. Low lighting, great vibes, and the server was friendly.

Great cocktails and ambiance. Extensive drink menu with creative cocktail choices. Prices for drinks range from 18-25 CA. They have some food to snack on, and while we didn’t eat there, it looked good. Great spot for a date or drinks with a small group of friends.

We celebrated a special occasion here and had a fantastic experience! The bar exudes a chic and sophisticated vibe, making it the perfect spot for a refined night out. The atmosphere was lively yet not overly loud, allowing us to fully enjoy the creative mixology and expertly crafted cocktails. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved the place and will definitely be returning to explore more of their innovative concoctions! Highly recommend for cocktail enthusiasts.

Love it here, never disappoints. For a higher end bar, their happy hour is SO affordable - 11 cocktails. In this economy! Such a steal. The Pandam Sour is my favorite - it's almost like a coconut sour with a warm nutmeg aftertaste. Rich and comforting. The pickles and olives are only 5 and you get a generous portion considering it's just a bar snack. Pickled blueberries is a fun addition. The seats? You melt into them. The service? Perfect. I ordered the carrot mule - which was well composed and balanced, just not for me - and she offered to replace it with something else. You rarely get such friendly and accommodating service in Vancouver. My only feedback would be please bring back the Kobzar

What truly made our night unforgettable was Esmeralda’s outstanding service—she was patient, knowledgeable, and always wore a warm smile. Can’t wait to come back and explore more of their drinks and menu. Highly recommend!
