Seriously, very tiny place that have a big personality. What a lovely chill place, the service is great (shout out to Sabrina), very friendly and really great music but loud enough where you can still talk to your friends and have a good conversation going. Now talking about drinks cocktails are must try. There was a Sherry cocktail that had big tree flavor in it, it reminds me of my childhood with I grew up in the Mediterranean and we had victories all in the backyard. Must visit best kept secret 🥰

Genuinely do not understand some of the bad reviews of this place. The bartenders and servers here have been so great. The drinks are some of the more complex and tasty ones in the city. Always on my list of places to recommend to friends

We were really looking forward to trying this place, and clearly the server was looking forward to us leaving. A nearby table was speaking and laughing so loudly that we couldn’t hear each other at all. When we politely asked if she could gently remind them to lower the volume, we were told—very firmly—that nothing could be done, and that we should either finish our drinks and leave or just leave immediately. Our drinks were even taken away for us, which was… surprisingly efficient service, just not in the way anyone hopes for. What made it especially memorable was the tone used toward us. Instead of being treated like guests, we were spoken to in a way that felt dismissive and strangely targeted. It was the first time we’ve ever felt this way at a bar, and hopefully the last. We used to think the menu looked great, but after this experience, it’s hard to enjoy anything about it. I genuinely hope management sees this—since we certainly weren’t being seen as customers that night.

Rude waitress/bartender. Not satisfied by her service- she seemed mad Update: hello Mike, you seem to lack concern for your customers. Instead of asking what happened and trying to hear from our side, you easily take offence and take your workers side. I don’t think this woman is a bad person, but maybe her service could be better. It wasn’t just me, other people seemed to think she had an attitude problem. Maybe she was having a bad day, who knows. The other waitress with curly hair was extremely professional and kind, checking up on us. I don’t despise her either just because the woman in the photo was rude. I’m just speaking on my experience. No despise happening from any of my words unedited above But glad to know that you are protecting your workers and treating them nicely, for that I think you should be proud.

Came around midnight on a Monday and we were able to get a spot for 4 people. Really intimate and cozy speak easy bar behind a barbershop. Great date spot. Unfortunately I got a beer and definitely want to come back to try their cocktails. Would recommend for the vibes and would come back.

It's taken me a while to write this review on account of wanting to gatekeep this absolute sacred place. — It's a place that is built on principles, grace, and mystique. The regulars are a reflection of class. The service is a standard that is extremely hard to find. Intimate and rare, its a special flavour and will leave you with a taste in your mouth that will linger until you're back. But like any sophisticated flavour, you’ll find people who don't get it. They're here protesting with 1 stars reviews. If you're looking for 5 star folks, one-of-a-mind flavours, and memorable nostalgia, hang out at Gift Shop. Hospitality folks love it here, no wonder.

Cozy speakeasy with a creative cocktail list. We tried a few different drinks and they were all very well-balanced and flavourful. Definitely coming back to try more of the menu. Mike is super charismatic and had great recommendations!

Waited about 10 minutes before someone came to greet us. As we were about to leave, a table of 4 left and we were told it would be about a 15 minute wait for their table. Set a timer and it took closer to 20. We get let in and i made a comment “its like a sauna in here” Which a server in a red dress gave me attitude about. We waited another 15 before she came back. Asked for 3 vodka sodas and 1 cocktail and for the bill same time. Took about 15-20 for everything to come out. We drank, left, and on our way out, a red haired gentleman followed behind to say “you shouldnt take the bill if you cant afford to pay tip.” Not trying to figure out why a group of 4 was uninterested in staying. Spent $60 on 4 drinks, to get harassed about $10 tip is wild. It didn’t seem busy. They put 4 of us at 1 table next to a couple that was reaching across their table to makeout, it was cramped, awkward, and so the atmosphere just was not it. Would not recommend. Would not go again. Staff is rude and unprofessional.
