I love feeling like you walked into a lush indoor garden when you come here. There are gorgeous plants everywhere. Music is great for the audibles. Cocktails are mainly themed to the plant and gardening world. The snacks are just that…snacks. But, you can DoorDash food in, but I would recommend just coming here for the cocktails. Very fun bar to kick off the night at!

Love this place. It’s super vibey with all the plants, the cocktails are varied and delicious (not single note) so there’s something for everyone. I love taking people from out of town here before dinner at the many great places nearby. Every bartender I’ve had here has been super cool and nice My only critique would be that the music is often quite loud, even in slow periods, which can make it hard to talk

Very interesting place! It has lots of plants, cute decor, a wide variety of different chairs and seating options which was super cool. A vodka lemonade for $16 is a lot but ok. Service was ok. I was waiting for 5mins and then instead of taking my order, the bar tender went to people who already had drinks while I was left waiting!
