Delicious, fun, top-notch cocktails are served up in this cute hole-in-the-wall. I suggest going during happy hour just because the discount is pretty significant. I've tried pretty much everything on the menu and have yet to be disappointed.
Fantastic mixed drinks! Attentive and excellent bartender.
Great place to grab a drink. Not packed with students; which is a rarity in Gainesville. Their happy hour specials are a pretty good deal.
Unique drinks. Decent beers on tap.
I don't know whether both bartendees were having a bad/off day or what but I did not get an expeince like everyone else who has reviewed. I don't know if me and my friends looked too young and "preppy" so you say or what but these two bartenders where so rude. One of them, a women, would not let me and my friend come inside to get a drink after checking our ids outside as she sat and talked to her friend. She said the bar was too full. Keep in mind we came around 30 minutes before happy hour ending. There were about 8 people inside. Later did I find out she just didn't want us in because the bartender was backed up....with 8 people and mostly all of them had drinks right in from of them. Maybe instead of chatting she could have been helping make drinks or getting order idk make yourself useful. After waiting 10 minutes for them to "clear" aka no one left or anything hahaha. Our friends who were already here for an hour said go inside and get one, and say whatever to girl. So we persisted to go inside, after waking in and receiving one of the worst death glare ever, we went to the bar. The other male bartender was clearly stressed and moody...idk why (Glad he doesn't work anywhere actually remotely busy, and I've actually seen this place poppin off before so don't know why his panties were in a wad) we then ask for a drink menu because neither of us have ever been to their happy hour. I order my drink. He again asks me for my Id after it was checked by the death glare girl previously but props to being on top of it I guess and then goes to make my drink. My friend handed her I'd, which she just got a new one and is a year older than I. He says your is is expired. We both look at it and let alone it expired the day before.......lollllll. She and I both had no idea and figuring she just bought a new one we didn't think this problem would arise for a while. It is a landscape I'd meaning that she is over 21 and he yelled at her to get out of the bar. Literally yelled like embarrassingly. I didn't even want to my drink anymore at this point. I understand him not serving her drinks because of the law but to scream like he did was totally unreasonable and like I said embarrassing. The drink was okay nothing I was super crazy about having. But based on the treatment of service I don't want to ever come back. Better drinks and service all around downtown Gainesville. Maybe next time I come here I might have to be a couple drinks in to be able to ignore the attorcious attitudes of the bartenders.
