| - Let's be honest, the reason my crew and I decided to venture over here while in Toronto was because of the Drake buzz. We were looking for something to do on a Saturday night so this seemed like the obvious answer.
The bar is extremely trendy and luxurious, with awesome lighting, mirrors, and cool seating. The staff was fun and friendly. I was feeling good vibes all over as soon as we walked in.
We had already eaten dinner at a restaurant nearby so we skipped food and just focused on drinks. Their cocktails range from $12 - $18. Out of the three that I tried, my ranking is as follows:
1) Lucuma Loca - made with gin, ginger sour, lucuma, and prosecco. This cocktail usually comes with white peach purée, but since they were out of it that night, I asked for them to substitute it with passion fruit purée. It was FANTASTIC. Definitely my favorite cocktail of the night! And the gold flakes didn't hurt. ;)
2) Passion Punch - made with Remy Martin VSOP, Bacardi, passion fruit purée, ginger beer, and bitters. This cocktail was a close second. I'm not sure what exactly it lacked, I just know that I liked the previous one better.
3) Up All Night - another cocktail made with Bacardi but this time combined with lemongrass syrup. Not good, not bad, but wouldn't get it again. Not sweet and fruity enough for my liking.
Would I return here when I'm in Toronto? Possibly, if I'm looking for a fun and flashy place to grab a cocktail. Probably wouldn't make a night out of it though... unless of course Drake happens to make an appearance. =P
