Chloe and Megan are so friendly and welcoming, and the cocktails were absolutely delicious—creative, well-balanced, and beautifully made. The atmosphere is fantastic, too. Definitely a new favorite in downtown Austin!

First time visiting and Megan was absolutely fantastic. I have always had a very particular pallet, however she absolutely changed my perspective on alcohol. Every drink I had was completely balanced and phenomenal. Being a mezcal fan, she recommended the “Bruni” which was made to perfection. The white bitters and vermouth conjoined together for a perfect balance that only Megan could achieve with her master at mixology.

Megan was such an awesome bartender! The bar is small and intimate yet oh so gorgeous. She gave great recommendations on cocktails and was very helpful with offering tastings of wine as needed!

This bar is so beautiful and all the cocktails are delicious. I will be back again, 10/10 across the whole board.

I enjoyed the Pinot Grigio that was available by the glass as well as the Valentia cocktail.

We had the most amazing evening! Adorable spot with great drinks but what made the experience was the wait staff / bartenders! Megan & Chloe were fantastic and we can’t wait to get back to Austin and visit when the restaurant is open!

The vibe here is a great time. Came in their first weekend open and it was amazing. My wife and I had the cocktails Bella and Balti and they were delicious. Can’t wait for the restaurant to open! Highly recommend.
