Adam LaiacanoJuly 8, 2015Best amaro selection I've ever seen. Definitely a bar where you can ask for the "bartender's choice" and you'll get something great.
Georgeann GNovember 12, 2017I had my first Amaro here and was a huge fan. Much milder and sweeter than fernet. Loved the bar especially the music. Also they DO accept credit cards. Only complaint is the bathroom wasn’t great.- Kat SFebruary 20, 2017Now that's a place for fernet & amaro. Be adventurous, just ask a friendly waited what a today's special is and go for it -- you won't regret.
David MacielFebruary 4, 2017Cool place to grab a drink before or after dinner, especially if you like fernet or amaro as they have a huge selection of both.
Darren RieszSeptember 15, 2012This place has amateur bartenders and less than clean restrooms. In 5 years, it will be a dive bar, unless it's bought by someone who knows how to run a bar. The sound system also grates on your ears.
Brianay GlidewellayDecember 30, 2017Extremely knowledgeable bartenders capable of putting together a terrific amaro flight to your palate
Neel BhargavaOctober 24, 2017Solid chill cocktail bar with great eclectic hip hop and instrumental soindtrack
