Halloween. I’ve wanted to come inside and sit and have a beverage for the last couple of years and what a perfect night. Ive sat outside, small but mighty on the inside, I made sure to get there right when they opened. Super cozy. Had a wonderful drink, enjoyed the atmosphere. Its for sale by the way – if I had the money, in a heartbeat.

Adorable cocktail bar! Great for a couples night out or small group. A great menu with lots of variety for everyone, and delicious unique house cocktails. Menu is seasonal so there will always be something new and interesting, but be aware that the drinks you see in pics online may no longer be on the menu! May be a wait in the winter since the interior is small. Highly recommend!

Great upscale cocktail lounge. Had a “90 days of August” which was fantastic. Love the intimacy of this small bar. We were there late so had already had dinner but their cheeseboard menu looked great. Proprietor was a snappy dresser and gave a sophisticated air to the place. Highly recommend.

Fantastic cocktails crafted by the owner Michael. Small and quaint space but perfect for our week night visit. You can tell this bar in a staple in the community. Lots of local knowledge was shared and really helped on our decisions for the orcas island. Highly recommend a visit here for high quality cocktails

Updating this review because fairness matters. We returned and gave this small biz a chance to get it right without introducing ourselves or expecting to be treated any differently than others. So glad we did. It gave us a chance to indulge in more of their excellent cocktails as well as enjoy their freshly made trout dip. Presentation was on point and they seemed to be back on their game. We look forward to returning frequently and adding this to our list of favorite spots one can’t miss when visiting this island.

Sidebar: They have Weller Bourbon on the shelf. That’s not exactly a standard and makes for a killer Old Fashioned if not simply enjoyed straight up. Spell of the Sensuous was another hit. It’s like a pisco sour with an upscale twist.

Lackluster service at best.

To sit outside waiting for service for nearly 20 minutes, then to place an order for two menu items and wait nearly 30 more minutes before my husband ventured inside for service (we weren’t alone in our alarmingly long wait but the place wasn’t abuzz either) is a disappointment. The cocktail prices are on the high side of the scale (they’re excellent, I’ll give them that) and to not be met with even the most simple acknowledgement made me wonder how this place has survived in the era of covid. How can a cute little spot downtown offer such inadequate service as visitors return to regurgitate life in this town? We couldn’t even get a simple glass of water we’d requested. What a disappointment.

I really loved the atmosphere, and the staff were so kind and friendly! I got the Mezze Plate (the menu changes tho) and they were happy to accommodate my allergy/vegan diet. Everything was amazing, and I could not get enough of the local rosemary and sea salt crackers! They might not always have vegan options, but they are kind and you should not hesitate to ask.

The best place on Orcas Island for Cocktail drinks. I recommend the Tanya Louise. It was dynamite. It is the one in my pictures with the watermelon on the rim. So good. Every drink we had was amazing. The ladies behind the bar are super friendly too and made you feel comfortable and at home. Thanks guys!!!

Almost gave this place 1 star for ruining Manhattans for me. Guess I’ll just have to travel 3 hours now to get my favorite cocktail.

This is a craft cocktail bar offering true cocktails (not tiki drinks or slush drinks) alongside some nice snacks featuring local ingredients. It gets bonus points for using a decent amount of local liquor including an impressive truly small batch bourbon and local gin.

The cocktails here aren’t cheap, but they are worth it. They are craft cocktails using balanced recipes that make good use of aperitifs, amaro, and bitters alongside good liquor.
