“ Oh my goodness, this was my first time in Atlanta and one of my friends recommended this place. We got there early like 830 and we were one of the only people there. Our bartender Zachary, was 10 out of 10 fantastic. He was super knowledgeable with all cocktails and recommended the best drinks. He was even able to customize some of the drinks on the menu to have different liquors that I was more favorable too. The oysters were one of the best I’ve ever had in my life. And at 10:30, the place that no one was in, was packed entirely. We had such an amazing time and met really cool people. It’s definitely more for a younger crowd like mid 20s to mid 30s, which is right up my alley. Def recommend !!! ”
“ One of my besties had been telling me about this place, and they had an event "Champagne Sunday," so I got us tickets to check it out. Super cute vibe, great dj, and amazing service. Creative drink menu, accompanied by a small food menu. The food was tasty and decent sized. The drinks were potent. Amazing dj, played a nice variety. Got extremely crowded, so we opted to leave, but overall, it was quite enjoyable. Parking deck available with reasonable pricing. ”
“ This is establishment is pretty cool, aesthetically pleasing . A friend and I came for some cocktails before the Atl Hawks game that night , I’m glad we stopped in. We were greeted with a warm welcome . We sat at the bar and our bartender was very pleasant. We ordered a few drinks and some small bites. The drinks were delicious and small bites were perfect. We chose the oysters, shrimp ceviche , and crudo. Beautiful space and good music. Can’t wait to return. ”
“ My friends and I went on a Saturday night without a reservation so we knew we were going to the bar and the side standing tables. Drinks were good and reasonably priced. The bartenders were super nice and the atmosphere is amazing. The vibes are a 10/10 and the music adds to the experience. Def recommended going and making a reservation if you don’t want to stand ”
“ Went here to celebrate my friends birthday and loved the vibe of this club. The velvet covered seats and intricate wall paper made this place pop and stand out from other cocktail bars in the city. We all ordered different drinks from the menu, most of them Japanese inspired with the names and spirits - and all of them were AMAZING. Well balanced and tasty! (Heads up, parties over 4 will be on one check, so have Zelle ready ) Only thing I wished was that more people danced haha. Definitely an instagram worthy place. We enjoyed ourselves and our time :) ”
“ Absolutely stunning bar. You walk in and there is a place to check your coat. then you immediately see that infamous red hallway and you’re drawn in! The espresso martinis were rich and gave me the buzz and energy I needed for the night. It can get tight in there, given that it’s a hot new go-to bar, but the vibe and atmosphere is sexy and the DJ was amazing. I advise getting a table in the back velvet wall room- as you can order and be served by a waitress/waiter as opposed to being stuck in the crowd around the bar. I will definitely be back again. So much fun! ”
“ I had been wanting to try this spot for a while so when I was in the neighborhood, I decided to swing by. I arrived before 10pm so entry was free and there was complimentary coat check. The music was good and the crowd was mixed. I'll definitely be back. ”
“ This place wins for atmosphere and interior! Awesome cocktail bar for a date! Atmosphere: 9.5/10 Pretty big space for a cocktail lounge. One huge main room with DJ booth and 2 private rooms for events. Incredible space and design - dark, underlighting. Also impressive bar. Music was not too loud, so that you can have a convo. Drinks: 8/10 Was a bit disappointed how small the signature cocktail menu is. Just 5 drinks. Nike of them sound good to me, so ordered Paper Plane. And it was really good! Appreciate the nice design of coaster - upgrades appearance of the drink Service: 8.5/10 Friendly staff and cool bartenders. Prices are on higher end, but appropriate for the venue ”
