We had dinner reservations down the street and decided to stop by for a drink beforehand. My husband looked at me funny when I pointed to where it was at, the fogged windows up front make it blend in with the rest of the (empty? abandoned?) buildings on that side of the street.

BTW, it was an August evening in downtown Phoenix, it felt like a ghost town outside. We walked in and, to our surprise, the place was pretty busy with just a few large booths open and some seats at the bar (we apparently had found where everyone was at). We were greeted by the hostess immediately and made our way to the bar.

One of the bartenders greeted us promptly and gave us drink menus and waters. The drink menu is pretty expansive, as this place is known for specialty cocktails. We were so enchanted by the menu we missed the specials board (next time!). They do have a happy hour - mostly food discounts and a few drinks. The food looked great, we can't wait to try the Hurricane Popcorn (think that was the name?) on our second visit!

I ordered the Lime & The Coconut and my husband had a Manhattan. Our (full price) drinks were worth every penny! The bartender crafted them in front of us and he was definitely a master of his art. Afterwards, he conversed with us a bit and was very warm and welcoming (sometimes hipster places like this are lacking the friendliness that this place definitely had).

I am sure this will be our go-to spot for meeting friends from the other side of town and also where we take out of town guests who are yearning for something out of the ordinary - we are excited to go back!
POSITIVE

I've only been here once after work one night, and the experience wasn't too good.

I remember ordering some kind of burger with a side salad. The salad was very delicious, the best part of the whole meal. I don't remember much about the burger. That kinda says this place is forgetful.

I also believe that the pricing here is pretty ridiculous. That's the main reason why we haven't gone back for such a long time. Maybe we will in the future.

The customer service also sucked the last time we were there. The lady that helped us was rude, and the decor is not too flattering either. It needs to be updated.
NEGATIVE

My dad took his small Maltese here a few months ago and it was the worst experience ever! First of all his haircut was awful and they only accepted cash. But the worst thing is that our dog was traumatized! He was shaking the whole day and started limping as if he had been beaten. He also had some small cuts and was not his playful self. We almost took him to the vet but decided to wait to see if he would get better. The shaking stopped the next day but he limped for couple days. I don't know what they did to him but it seemed like they grabbed him to harsh and hurt his legs. Be careful in taking your pets here! Also, since they only accept cash you don't even have any proof of your visit!
