How we score

The editorial take

A 25-seat bar with a partially covered pet-friendly patio, blending a neighborhood bar with a hidden speakeasy feel. The cocktail menu runs four sections: Classics, Martinis, Specialty Cocktails, and Low ABV. The espresso martini, built with vodka, Borghetti espresso liqueur, Cointreau, and LDU espresso, is named as the signature item. Wines span sparkling, rosé, white, and red from Italy, France, New Zealand, and California, and a four-drink Mocktails section covers non-alcoholic orders.

What should I order?
Start with the espresso martini, the homepage-named signature pour of vodka, Borghetti espresso liqueur, Cointreau, and LDU espresso. For a lower-ABV route, the Figgy Sherry Cobbler layers oloroso sherry, caramelized fig, sage, Cointreau, and lemon; the Blood Orange Is the New Pink combines Cocchi Rosa, blood orange, Luxardo maraschino, aquafaba, and thyme.
Who will enjoy this place?
The 25-seat bar and partially covered pet-friendly patio suit groups mixing cocktails with wine, and the four-item Mocktails section gives non-drinking guests a real order.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
Four separate cocktail sections, a homepage-named signature espresso martini, a wine list crossing Italy, France, New Zealand, and California, and a dedicated four-item Mocktails section using Ritual agave alternative and Lyre's Orange. The room pairs a 25-seat bar with a partially covered pet-friendly patio and a hidden speakeasy feel.
