Despite having issues opening their front door (which could have been the fault of my travel partner and I having drinks prior) everything after that was pure awesomeness. We headed to the bar as we were not interested in food, it was my first and last night in T.O. and i wanted to drank!!
The Mixologist of the night name was Neil they dont do cocktail menus you describe what you want or like and he mixes shit up for you! I liked his vibe right off the bat.
My friend got some manly "makes you grow chest hair" drink and after hearing what I like (champagne bubble with a kick) Neil whipped me up a Negroni...I ended up not liking it because I'm a punk but the way he made it was so artful I tried to force myself to drown it. Upon further research on Negroni's I found it is compared to Campari's and I knew for a fact I hated those! Neil noticed my distaste, gave my drink to my friend for free and made me something less adventurous by my request.
What made me rate it a 5 star is being Neil and other personnel were uber friendly, telling us the late night spots to attend while in Toronto even giving us info about a speak-easy bar located behind a freezer of a restaurant!
Good vibes and good times!
