I was hankering to give this one a go with reviews showing up in NYC publications and BlogTO. Vintage cocktails, alleyway entrance, conversational atmosphere and reservations via texting day of are the prohibition style allure (ok, except for text messaging... probably a password instead). I'm a fan of this style patronizing Bourbon and Branch in SF, Manifesto in KC and the Violet Hour in Chi. Our Toronto incarnation wins points for location and friendly staff but could use some improvement in matching the cocktail quality of other cities. The other options are a bit more creative and crafted sometimes even named. We went early at 8:15pm as we were pre-gaming the 'shoe so we were the first to arrive. I will definitely try to make it back another night.
