Very shady people. First, they forgot our large group reservation (confirmed for weeks), causing our group to split up. Then, originally told us (in writing, over email) that there was no minimum cost and no extra service charges. In person, the bartender said there was a 1000 minimum but that he would be "nice" and let it pass if we spent over 500. We did, but as it turned out, they added a $102 "delivery fee" into the check. The bartenders told us only to tip in cash because the managers take all the tips from them, so we left a cash tip for them. When confronted about it later, at first they said they would refund the 'delivery fee' which they claimed was a tip. Then, the management changed their mind claimed the bartenders got approval for two tips from us, which is absurd and untrue. Service: 1

My experience here was pretty bad. This was my first time going here and it will be the last time. For starters, for it being a cocktail bar with an emphasis on agave spirits.. you'd think they'd be a bit more educated on that. Yet, the staff knows nothing about agave spirits, and more specifically Peter - who was very rude and not knowledgable about agave spirits. I wouldn't go back. Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Cute little spot to grab some good mezcal cocktails! Updating my review after I've been here like 6+ times: I've only ever seen one bartender working here, and they could often benefit from two. Also, I wish the space was more dimly lit to produce a more romantic atmosphere; it's really bright at night.
