As a committed booze hound who would like to pretend that her regular imbibing is a 'classy hobby', this store is a quirky little shrine to old-school drinking that helps continue that delusion.
Absinthe fountains? Full vintage cocktail shaker sets with fabulous patterns? Coasters fashioned from unwanted records? Enormous, graphic ceramic ashtrays? You can find all these in this niche boutique, and the price tags won't make you want to reach for the nearest shot of Jameson.
I fully recommend this store to stock up your home bar on its selection of accessories alone, but please be warned - I found the service lacking. The women behind the counter were far too interested in texting, and their own conversation, to help my companion select a bottle of bitters he was buying for a gift or to offer any interaction beyond what was needed to complete the transaction. Disappointing, to say the least.
Nevertheless, I'll be back. I know that somewhere in my near future I'm going to need a set of Tiki mugs. Yes, need. You know, for fruity beverages that require tiny umbrellas, and if you're going to judge me you're not invited.
