Intimate experience with an amazing view. Each cocktail was meticulously created per taste of person at table. Each cocktail was an experience and enjoyed.

They don’t serve food so that’s why it says poor value. My husband and friends and I went there at 9 o’clock and were quickly escorted up there which was great. But it felt a little overcrowded because there were 12 people in a space design for 10. The part we didn’t like was the checkout experience. It shows you the price then it shows you up charges and it just seems awkward instead of just having a set price. The one complaint about our bartender is that the bartender was extremely knowledgeable but not personable. My husband ordered one of the more expensive whiskeys, neat. She let us know that it was a $37 drink, but as she poured my husband a large jigger, she flipped it over and did a short jigger and took that shot herself. I’ve been to plenty of bars and restaurants where employees have taken a quick drink, but it seemed awkward for her to take a half shot or jigger of something we were paying $37 for.

Really fun experience. Small setting. Expect to converse with the other guests. No drink menu. Tell the tender what flavors you like and he makes you something unique.

Unique and beautiful cocktail experience! I loved the intimate setting and how personalized it felt. A perfect place for a small group of friends to get to know each other with a beautiful view of the city. 11/10!
