“ Such a fun and unique place with a speakeasy vibe. You won't find drinks like this anywhere else. The Milk Tyson and Fjord Horse are always a go-to; excited to try the Thai Pod Challenge (middle school nostalgia mmmm). The owners and staff are thoughtful and attentive. ”
“ What a great find! This distillery/cocktail bar is hidden within a nondescript office building, but the bar space itself is one of the better lounge interiors we've seen in the cities - everything was well thought out from the lighting, to seating and music. The cocktails are unique with new flavors you probably haven't tried. The staff (and owner if you catch him) are all really friendly with stories to share. We will definitely be back soon. ”
“ This place was great. The moment we walked in, we were greeted and seated immediately. I highly recommend making a reservation as it does get busy here and reservations take priority. I had made a reservation for 2. The atmosphere was great with a nice vibe to it. Music was not too overly loud and the crowd was not too loud. The food/snacks were not too bad. We got the return of the Mac hotdog and the Japanese party mix snacks. The hotdog was nice and juicy. The toppings for it was a good addition to boost the flavor. The party mix was a good blend of many different crackers and nuts that were all delicious. For drinks we got the koku, the Thai pod challenge, Japanese highball, and the lychee chuhai. All the signature cocktails were super strong and tasted great though. Our favorite was the chuhai because it was really flavorful without being able to taste the alcohol. Which will make this a creeper for sure. Overall, great staff and vibes and the drinks and food were all pleasant. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back ”
“ Looking forward to revisiting this cocktail lounge. I am beyond impressed! The service, the atmosphere, the presentation, even down to getting your bill inside a CD case... The cocktail and food was fabulous, as well as presentation. Way to go! ”
“ Visited with my husband twice. First when we decided to try it out & it’s gives a speakeasy vibe. Second time was when they had their taste of Asia event. I would highly recommend to check this place out! Unique vibe & experience. Plus passionate owners & staff are great! ”
“ What a delightful secret spot! We drove almost one hour to celebrate a special occasion and I am so impressed! First, we entered by walking through a plain office building that led us to ...open ... the ... door ... to..."WOW! Are you kidding me?! This is an absolute MUST VISIT speakeasy on your adventures out! We ordered a first round of cocktails: -the "In Fashioned" -a "Hot Toddy" The Brule Orange is the singular most delicious accoutrement I have ever had on a cocktail! I would like to order 100 of these, please. The In Fashioned was simply a work of edible art...in both taste and visual appeal. My husband had the Hot Toddy, which came in a gorgeous golden tea cup. Overall, the drinks were fantastic, the space is over the top jaw-dropping cool, and the staff all made this night out memorable!! ”
“ Outstanding!!! My husband and I love the speakeasy style cocktail lounge and this is probably our new favorite. Although it is an hour drive for us to get to, it is easily worth the drive. Great atmosphere, service and cocktails. We didn't have any food, so I cannot comment on that. All four of our party were very pleased with the experience. We had privacy and it was not loud like so many other bars and restaurants. My husband continues to talk about the Mukiwa drink he had. It's probably a good thing we don't live closer because we would probably be weekly visitors to Skaalvenn. Will absolutely be back again. ”
“ We walk into a pretty generic office building with halls that smell like kitty litter to the back to a door that looks it could lead to a fly by night car detailing business and are shocked. You walk through the doors and are instantly transported to a cool, dimly lit speakeasy. Great drinks, funky music, and cool atmosphere. We will definitely be back. Drinks are a little pricey but worth it when you see the care that goes into making them and the process behind some of them! ”
