"A cocktail bar with great drinks and pretty good pricing! My major concern is the oil smell. The place wreaked of oil and I left smelling like a cheesesteak restaurant. If that was fixed, I’d be back much quicker. Service was great as well! Otherwise, deserves 5 stars for sure & I’ll be back at some point- hopefully with some pleasant smells 🤣"

"We came around 11pm on a Friday night -- so pleasantly surprised by the cozy vibe, attentive service and excellent drinks!"

"Fun experience, great drinks! But you should arrive later in the night (around 10PM) because otherwise it’s pretty dead"

"This place is a hidden gem. I dont want to review because I want to keep it to myself, but people should know. This is a very humble, quiet, low key cocktail lounge you can take a first date too. Its the Clydez of staten island. Unique cocktails, with a fun environment designed for you to genuinely talk and get to know your company. Best cocktail lounge on staten island, and I lived in 7 states and 1 other country. At the same time the bartenders are humble cool people. Great vibes!"
