I would suggest dimming the lights just a tad, and paying more attention to the background music list. Also, embrace the alcohol variety and unleash a revolving drink list. There’s so many different bourbons resting behind the bar.

Thank you very much for your feedback and your 5 star review. We are actively working on establishing the "List" (its a big one...) and hope to offer it to our guests in the new year. :)

The cocktails are so fun and clever and the atmosphere is nothing short of amazing. The crème brûlée birthday dessert was delicious and it was the perfect way to celebrate with my friends. Can’t wait for my next visit!
