The time and effort to construct a single cocktail was remarkable. Quite literally taking a block of ice and chipping it down to standard and skillfully building a cocktail from scratch - and I mean house made bitters and exotic spirits, cordials and vermouths. Truly drinks you cannot get anywhere else.
I opted for the bartenders choice after I told the bartender what I like. I was blown away. It was exactly what I was looking for in a way I have never had it. Even a simple gin and tonic was unique with a ton of thought put into it.
The ambiance and decor is also to behold. It's absolutely dark and dingy, yet in a cool comfortable way. The stained glass bar back and old reclaimed feel is pretty amazing. A modern, hipster speakeasy if you will.
The staff is amazing, including the owner who I remember making tremendous cocktails at Lolita. In an area full of great, I can add spotted owl to my must visit.
