Not even kidding, this was one of my favorite places I’ve been to for a drink on a very long time. The atmosphere was perfect. Reminded me of a cross between a 90s coffee shop before Starbucks took everything over, a really cool library, and a speakeasy. Hit all the points on atmosphere for me. Add in the massive selection of spirits and it was easily one of the best bars I’ve been to. With the atmosphere and selection, I expected a pretentious vibe, but was super relaxed and a great way to unwind for a night. Even the prices of drinks were pretty realistic for the higher end drinks. The live music was a little loud, but maybe I’m just too old now Service was great even when busy. Good mix of people who were all pretty chill. The pool table, darts and pinball were also nice touches without being overwhelming. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone for a drink, and when I’m back in town I’ll be finding a reason to stop by for sure.

The vibe here is immaculate. I love the eclectic decor, and am always impressed with the sheer volume of things available to order. My husband and I always “jokingly” ask bars and liquor stores if they have any Malort, because it is impossible to find outside of Chicago, and they actually had it! If I lived closer, this is probably the only bar I would ever go to.

Stopped on a Monday right as they opened. Sipped some Whiskey, drank a draft and had good conversation with the bartender and some regulars. Even played some pool in the back room. Some neat items if you really start looking around. Huge selection of liquors and wine and a varied selection of beers. A very good stop.

This place has been around for quite some time. I’ve been to this place multiple times and it’s always a pleasant experience. The inside has a very nice prohibition era speakeasy style ambiance. Oriental rugs, old leather couches and chairs, really give it this kind of cigar parlor type of feel. They have a very impressive wall of spirits. The bartenders are also very pleasant and knowledgeable. If you don’t know what you want to drink, and you can pretty much tell them what you’re interested in, types of flavors you like and they will surprise you. If you don’t like to drink they make you, they won’t be offended, they’ll just make you another one. Great customer service and just great place in general. I highly recommend people who like classic cocktails to check this place out because they will definitely make you an excellent drink.

Absolutely love the vibe of this place the lighting is so cozy and it’s warm, perfect to get away from the cold for a drink. They have lots of Couches and places to sit it was so comfortable and romantic to lounge with my husband on their Couches right by the window. They have an amazing alcohol selection and the bartenders are very friendly. They made me a killer long Island ice tea and a Malibu bay breeze. Prices aren’t bad either! They have pool and darts as well. Definitely one of my favorite lounges in the area

My husband and I went here on my birthday because I wanted to try absinthe for the first time (a bucket list item for me). I loved the very relaxed and comfy vibe of the place, which suits my style. I loved that they had multiple brands of absinthe to choose from, including the brand I wanted. The bartender was skilled in terms of preparation and also filled in some of the gaps in my theoretical knowledge when I asked. (I appreciated that he didn’t condescend or mansplain.) The drink was delicious and I enjoyed it. (My husband was just there to support my birthday wish and was nursing a diet Coke, but he did try a sip of my drink and liked it, too.) I was also pleasantly surprised by the price. I’d been prepared to pay more, based on… every other drink I’ve ever ordered anywhere. All in all, it was a perfect, laid-back, but fun birthday experience. As an introvert who mostly likes quiet (until I’m in the mood to rock out), I chose a Monday night specifically hoping to avoid a noisy crowd, and there were a bunch of other folks there, but there was plenty of personal space and I could carry on a conversation with my husband and the bartender without shouting.

Loved this place! The atmosphere and vibe are fantastic, the limitless options of every liquor and wine even Arak which is a Lebanese liquor not often available at most bars! I enjoyed pool, darts and the pinball machines while sipping on whiskey . I would say this is the perfect stop for a relaxing week night or a very busy weekend if you’re ready to mingle!

The staff with glasses (sorry I should have asked his name) is extremely kind. Gratefully got this token, but won’t use it and instead keep it as a souvenir from Syracuse. Thank you for your kindness, really!
