What reviewers say

Visitors consistently praise the bar's fantastic and delicious cocktails, with some even highlighting the bartenders' skill in creating custom drinks. However, multiple reviews mention issues with rude service, particularly from staff at the entrance and management, and some found the music to be too loud for conversation or not to their taste.

The cocktails were fantastic. We didn't even look at the menu; we just described what we wanted to the bartender, and he made it just the way we wanted it. Thank you so much! We were pleased. The music wasn't bad, but it was a bit awkward to speak, so we had to shout. Sometimes we wanted to dance, but not to rap music. :)) Overall, we liked it!

The bar is a great place, the bartenders are great, the cocktails are fantastic! 👌👌 The one-star review concerns the inhumane and arrogant attitude of the manager and the girl at the entrance to the secret room. It's a shame that such people start working as customer service without first seeing a psychologist. Turning away one person when there are friends inside with a table and all kinds of hookahs must give you incredible satisfaction, like you rule the world. Alas... I recommend management send the employees on a business trip to see how people work at the entrances of the world's top clubs.
