First time in on Sunday. Saw an ad on Facebook for a mimosas flight!!! Oh yea!! Love finding local gems like this! Bartender was fantastic, atmosphere was great and the drinks did not disappoint! Food from the joining business was good, but some of the smallest portions I've seen in appetizers in a long time. Will most definitely be back! Anxious to utilize their outside seating area when it gets warmer!

My husband and I were just driving by and stopped on a whim. We are so happy we did. We sat and enjoyed a couple of drinks and conversation with the bartender. I absolutely loved the "Apple Bees Knees" and my husband had the "Bootleg Bloody Mary" and really enjoyed it. We even picked up a Bottle of the "Love Potion" moon shine, it was so good. The atmosphere and drinks were just what we needed and we highly recommend stopping by.

Great place to hang out and have a cocktail! The atmosphere is laid back and fun. The place is decorated with steampunk decor which adds character: super cool. The drinks are well made and delicious. They also have local craft beer from Ephrata breweries on tap and small plates. For an added element of fun they have a free to play retro arcade (Nintendo and Sega). Check this place out. Good Vibes!

My wife and I have visited twice since the opening and found the experience to be consistently both pleasant and enjoyable. The cocktail selection is diverse, constructed well and delicious. They also have great local craft beers on tap. Food is ordered separately and simply via a kiosk and delivered to you promptly. The building construction with exposed beams and brick provides a warm and comfortable environment. Lastly and most importantly, the staff was attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Well done. Cheers.

Exceptionally clean space with great accents. Couldn't do the fun looking outdoor space because too early in season. Staff are very personable and great at suggesting mixes. Very good idea of having partnership with eatery next door. Great choices there. Small batch gin was a nice surprise in how good it tasted neat. Main vodka was decent. Check out Chipotle Martini. The mixed drinks are somewhat on a sweet side though but if you like that sort of thing this place is for you.
