    Fairly cool hidden bar experience: locked door you have to call a number to be let in through, sketchy hallway to walk down before entering the bar. Very nicely 1920s decorated bar with comfortable seating, dim lighting, and candles. Reasonably priced drinks considering they don't accept tips. Very attentive servers.

    Taishawn and Dache were amazing bartenders. They are passionate about what they do and were a pleasure to meet. The ambience is absolutely amazing for a romantic date, music set the perfect mood and the drinks were delicious. Thank you for such an amazing experience. There is a reason why you are one of the best in Toronto. I am recommending you to all my friends!

    The place is very hidden, nice ambience the staff are very helpful. Drinks didn't meet the expectations and were bit pricy. They should have more drinks option like just simple old fashioned or some more selection of beers. Would love to come here again of they change or tweak the menu a little bit.

    The vibe is very cool with you enter the room and get seated. Cocktail menu was a little confusing and the time from ordering to fulfillment seemed excessively long for drinks. We only went for after dinner drinks so I cannot comment on the food. Scanning the menu it looked like they had a very nice selection of eats.

    I mean we didn’t have any food but I’d been there once before and it was spot on.. Just a terrific spot, and a real good evening. Service is unparalleled, the drinks - you know how make them better than most! Will be back and thanks again for helping add to a memorable night. P.S. sorry I didn’t tip! I thought it was worked into the bill.. as I just sort of scanned, was never prompted to. I’ll make up for that next time ;)

    The service team was super friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to. The atmosphere is wonderfully appropriate for what feels like a dim prohibition era Speakeasy. We ordered every cocktail on the menu over the course of our 2ish hour time allotment, and everything tasted good and interesting. Nothing was a dud! Most surprising was The Hoser. Will be back for sure.

    This was our first time, so we didn't really know what to expect. The ambience stole the show, hands down! I felt transported back to a retro era with the lighting and decor. Drinks were awesome and the music was apt. I would definitely go there again, perfect for date night or chill time with friends.

    Nothing unquie about the place like the website gives off. Pretty loud considering they also said to please keep your table's volume to a reasonable level. Should really put what time the food is served on your menu/website instead of just saying "late"

    The place itself is cool and the vibe is chill but had awful service. The waiter told us we had 15 minutes left in our reservation when we had an hour. They made us feel like we were being timed and on their own stopwatch. And then when they realized this was a mistake, they didn't do anything to apologize. Then at the real 2 hour limit, they made us leave when the bar was 25% full because of "other reservations". While that may have been true, they could have been a lot more accommodating and courteous. Would not go back unfortunately.
