    We ADORE this bar. It’s super small, intimate and radiates the best vibes. This place is certainly in our top picks for cocktail bars and we consider ourselves lucky for having the chance to experience it multiple times over the past few years. Billy was amazing! Be sure to check out their sister bar next door, Here Nor There, which is equally as great. 5 stars ⭐️🤗

    Super cute spot! We arrived early (5:00 PM) and were able to get seats easily at the bar. The space is adorable, but incredibly small... so definitely make it the first stop.

    The drinks and service were both great! Our favorite drink was the Open Sesame which is so smooth, but all the drinks were good! They also have a happy hour deal on their frozen margarita which is pretty hard to beat.

    Ciaran and Billy were awesome! Don’t come downtown very often and the big places don’t appeal to me. This was absolutely perfect for me as someone who can’t stand being around a lot of people. The customer service and drinks were top freaking notch! Thank you

    IPS is an amazing cocktail bar in every way. Angela and Finn are fantastic mixologists who provide exceptional drinks and service. The intimate size of the place makes for a great atmosphere with other patrons and the staff. The new menu is great, and I always look forward to my time at IPS. Keep up the awesome work!

    Finally got a chance to visit last night - the bar had always been on my radar as a regular patron of Here Nor There but I had never been before.

    The bar is great! Despite the small space it still felt roomy enough for our party of four and the aesthetics of the bar are beautiful. Got to taste about half of the available menu and the range of flavors within the cocktails were incredible - would highly recommend on a night out

    Stopped into this cute microbar after a show at the Paramount. Everyone was super friendly - the drinks were so good and the atmosphere leant itself to chatting with strangers which isn’t often comfortable but somehow here it felt safe. Definitely recommend going..I will be going again for sure.

    The cocktails were outstanding! I enjoyed the Open Sesame, which uses coconut milk, and it was unreal. Enjoyed the Dublin Drop as well and had a sip of the Caribbean Dream and I’ll definitely need to try that myself on my next visit. Conor and team did not disappoint- they nailed it! 😍👏🏻

    OMG this place is so unique! Conor and Delta were so welcoming and the drinks were so delicious. Awesome atmosphere and the drinks had so much character. Thanks for having us! Can’t wait to be back. Just make sure to get there before it gets packed; it can only accommodate up to 14-15 guests.
