It got a two star exclusively for the menu, although the page showing where drinks range for flavor profile couldn't be more incorrect. Never have I ever went to a cocktail bar and got a drink without a garnish. Now a garnish definitely isn't a deciding factor, but man oh man the drinks were a huge disappointment. The atmosphere doesn't make sense with the music, the menu and atmosphere. When we came in it wasn't very welcoming, when we got our drink's he didn't even say what was what, and they were so poorly made you couldn't honestly tell the difference. We are cocktail snobs so it does take something amazing to impress us but this is honestly up there with the worst places we been. Drinks were extremely unbalanced. Although it's quite possible we came on an off day. He made the two drinks in about 60 seconds. For future guests sake I hope it was just an off night. Don't let the cool menu fool you. Save your time and money and literally go anywhere else. I guarantee it can't be worse and if it was an off night I can't say it's worth the risk. It was pretty bad. Most of the photos are older photos. Anyway highly recommend GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

Stopped in to this place while out with friends. The drinks were amazing, some made with items you would never think to put in a cocktail! Their new menu was interesting and delicious! The two mixologists were knowledgeable not only about cocktails but about the area and history. We asked for recommendations for our next stop and their recommendations did not disappoint. I love when local businesses support other local businesses! We will be stopping in again on our next trip to Hamilton! It did not disappoint! Ps. It was clean and the washroom was also clean

Me and my girlfriend went there for some drinks our bartender mike was amazing, he was super kind and outgoing. The cocktails were delicious we will definitely be coming back again!!!

was in on wednesday night and we were 2 of 3 customers. amazing bartender (mike) and good vibes. had a great time chatting and got some custom cocktails that were 10/10. will definitely be going back!

What a great place for some drinks with a good friend. My 1st experience I had asked the bartender to make me a drink on my preferences. He did not disappoint. He made me 2 different drinks and they were delicious. U want to be served by a real bartender. Then you need to check out this place. Drinks are a little pricey, but it's worth every dollar. I rather go to this place. Enjoy my cocktail and have some good laughs with some old friends over a strip club for the same priced drinks on basic cocktails.

After 25 minutes waiting for drinks half the table left. The waiter wouldn't even acknowledge that this wasn't a reasonable time to wait for someone to open a few cans of beer. Even when our drinks finally arrived, the waiter substituted a local beer without asking first (and brought it to us opened) because they ran out of the one we ordered.

WARNING COCKROACHES. They were crawling like they were used to people. One even crawled on my friends phone!! I only noticed after we were about to leave too. Also their popcorn is very soggy even inside the bags. Their charcuterie was alright. Pricy cocktail for the quality. I wouldn't trust anything from there now, might have roaches eating it. Or maybe their charcuterie board had roaches crawling on it who knows.

    Hi Walter, We are working with our pest control company to resolve the issue. I think any business would prefer that you speak privately to the owner/management before actively trying to destroy someone's life work, and the income to a hard working family.
