Holy Spirits

If you’re even thinking about checking this place out, listen up: Wednesdays are ALL DAY happy hour. Stop reading and go! Trust me, you won’t regret it. This cozy Japanese-ish cocktail bar, nestled in the heart of the gayborhood, serves up handcrafted cocktails, hand rolls, and plenty of seafood-inspired nibbles. As a vegetarian, I can 100% recommend the Holy Shiitake hand roll—it’s filled with crispy fried shiitake mushrooms and is nothing short of magical. And don’t even get me started on the Holy Dead Man cocktail. I love Aperol and the classic spritz, but this drink took it to a whole new level: slightly smoky, bright, and fruity—absolute perfection. So, if you’re in the mood for a prewash and snack before dancing to the “untsys untsys untsys” at Faces, this is the spot to be. My only complaint is the seating. You might want to book a chiropractic appointment before you go. How I break down my star reviews: 1 - No. Not if it was the last thing on DoorDash. 🗑️ 2 - Meh. Maybe if I’m desperate, close, and high. 😬 3 - Mid. Not texting the group chat about it. 🤷‍♀️ 4 - Hella solid. Planning my next visit. 😋 5 - Shut up and take my money. Om Nom Nom. 🔥

Love this place, we recommend it to many people. The happy hour is incredible. The food is consistently delicious. The cooked mushroom and the mushroom handroll were highlights, and the other handrolls are amazing/top tier. Drinks are always fantastic, the servers are nice, and the vibe is very chill.

Cute little dimly lit place, perfect for a date. Love the kitchen you can see into and watch the chef. The food was great! Well prepared and tasty. The staff was friendly and kind. They make special drinks and have so many options! That's their thing, with spirits in the name and all. We are not drinkers, I whispered to the waiter/bartender. He made us mocktails that felt fancy and tasted so good. We'll be back!

Really enjoyed this spot especially for Happy Hour. Really can't beat the $3 beer and $5 hand rolls. Would definitely go again

Very tasty cocktails. Seafood nachos were excellent. The happy hour hand rolls were kinda small…

Decent experience. The place itself has an awesome vibe. The hand rolls, however, were pretty average and overpriced, even on happy hour.

What a hidden gem! My partner picked this out for date night and we loved it. Wednesday is happy hour all day and the value is incredible. The Lou and I cocktail with pickled flavors is unique. The staff are very friendly. My only critiques are that they brought us one incorrect roll (worked out great since we got it for free at the end) and they forgot about making our drinks initially (but we checked in and our drinks arrived shortly thereafter). Truly a wonderful spot for a beverage or food, particularly happy hour. I’ve told my friends about it!

The staff is doing a great job here and the concept is cool, but it’s clear that management is not setting them up for success. They were severely understaffed and were out of basics like their cloth napkins, beer, a few cocktails, and there was a wait for chopsticks, which were in the dishwasher. Pros: great cocktails, good hand rolls, beautiful space Cons: limited menu, understaffed, poorly stocked, disorganized 15% gratuity is automatically added to your bill
