| - This place is unlike anything else that exists in Toronto (which they openly boast about) as it offers a full menu of TEA COCKTAILS...and not just your grandmas shot in her evening tea! ;)
This place recently had a facelift and it looks super hipster and minimalist inside with their wall plants and neon sign. The bartender is nightclub promoter turned mixologist. The drinks are tasty, but he definitely does not do well with the stress of a busy bar, because he became frazzled and short. As someone who has worked in the industry, I totally get that this is something that happens to all human beings, but it's definitely something to note as Toronto has a tendency to run through businesses, and this definitely soured the experience. Luckily, shoutout to Josh (the gentleman who took our order and helped do general floor business) was charming, kind and very approachable and was the face of what good service should be.
The cocktails are DELICIOUS! I don't know whether it was the tea (that tastes like juice), or just really great cocktails in general, but they are a big win for this place! They don't have the ridiculous Toronto prices too, at most cocktails running about $12. They have really turned the drink experience into a craft focusing on presentation, smell and taste. The food is good, but definitely not sometime I would come back for.
I will definitely be back to try more of their drinks and maybe even a tea or two (sans adult sauce!)
