I came here late one night with a friend who was very familiar with the place. We bypassed a small lineup and entered. This place looks like a cross between funeral parlour and an old school travelling circus. We sat at the bar, and I was basically in awe from the time I arrived until the time I left.
This is not a bar... this is a show. I watched the magicians behind the bar create the most amazing things... I went through the menu literally trying to make sense of it all. It was like watching a fascinating exciting foreign movie. We ordered the punch bowl with some waters (as we had to keep up our hydration after a night on the town). It was DELICIOUS!
This place is expensive, if you think that you are buying drinks. But you aren't... you are buying an experience... a show. As out of it as I was, I will never forget what I experienced at this place. The dry ice... the drip mechanisms, even the fancy water glasses. The nice, strange people that I was talking to. It's a beautiful, dark Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland kind of portal.
Simply fascinating!
And you know you have a good place when... we were waiting for a cab outside... everyone who walks out of this place is smiling ear to ear. A+
