Bradley S.Bradley Shende: Keenan the barkeep makes a perfect classic Manhattan if you're interested.

Amy G.Amy Graff: Found this dark, sexy apothecary-theme cocktail bar via NY Times. Drinks ("prescriptions") are potent and sorted by predominant flavor notes. Try rosemary gimlet, anything with that lapsang tincture.

Ashley M.Ashley Mowrey: The bartenders are laid back, friendly, and have skills. Best gimlet I had in Vancouver. They have a unique drink list, tried a couple, definitely some flavor combos I've never tried. Left drunk 👍🏻
