The drinks here were phenomenal. The service was also top tier and worth the price. They mix flavors I never would’ve thought of and you can tell that they take pride in finding the drink that appeals to your taste. Very intimate vibe, great for a date night.

Super fun bar, formally the famous “Gaslight Bar.” Very VERY excellent drinks. Pricey but honestly you feel like your dollar is well spent. Be sure to make a reservation as we had to come back the following day due to it being full. Service was excellent and the cheese platter was yummy.
