Traveler reviews
Dylan Filkins
★★★★★2 months agoA really lovely cocktail bar that serves unique cocktails, standard traditional ones, and creations of their own. Service was fast and personal, and they made an effort to talk to their clients and understand what they prefer or simply for a chat. I recommend this place for solo travelers, for dates, or a group of friends. The photo os of their calavados Honfleur cocktail

★★★★★a year agoNice cocktails & wine, great ambiance. We were tired from walking around and came here to relax and have a few drinks, which were all good. This was recommended by a local and definitely glad we went. There wasn't any bar snacks available, however the bar man kindly offered nuts instead. Would like to come back on our next visit
