5 Places to Try This Holiday Weekend in Seattle (That Are Usually Hard to Get Into) - Eater Seattle

"Waits for this tiny spot in Ballard — on Eater’s list of most anticipated bar openings — have been lengthy on Fridays and Saturdays. But a holiday weekend in a normally chill neighborhood could mean a few more seats freeing up. Here, the team behind the well-regarded Wallingford seafood restaurant Manolin has put together an extensive cocktail list and wonderful Sri Lankan small bites, such as mutton rolls and Kerala fried chicken." - Gabe Guarente

This review is long overdue… Little Tin always makes me happy. Their drinks are so creative and inspired - they have a lot of tea-based concoctions and I’ve never had a cocktail I didn’t like here. Their mocktails are just as delicious and the food is so easy to snack on while you’re on your second drink. The decor inside and out on their back patio are so cute and I feel like I get teleported out of Ballard and onto a mini vacation. The price point is high admittedly, but they include tip in their pricing which is fantastic and I don’t feel a dollar wasted - so I just make sure to come here for celebratory occasions like birthdays and new jobs. Looking forward to the next visit! 💚

Amazing cocktails, delicious quick bites , beautiful vibe similar to a speakeasy but super pricey place. Not a place to spend the entire night at because of the super expensive drinks and food. But definitely worth a visit specially to enjoy the lovely unique cocktails they have to offer . Some of them also come with a bag of chips. Also got the chicken dumplings and the duck rolls, were good but small portions. Had to go to a different restaurant next door to have some more food. Gratuity is included in the bill so be mindful of it. Great bar in ballard but may not be a frequent visitor

Two recommendations: make the tart drinks a tad bit less tart, and replace your maraschino cherries with Luxardo cherries. This place is nice enough where you could pull that off. But this was a very nice cozy place. Loved the lights. Excellent service, and whoever did the interior design was on point.

Very intimate and aesthetically pleasing! We got the tempura shrimp, dumplings, and bao cheeseburgers - all were really nice! Just be warned that there is a required 20% service charge and you do order and check out online via QR code even when dining in.

Although Little Tin offers only two vegetarian options, both were quite good. The service, however, felt minimal. You are seated at your table and your food is brought to you, but the rest is self-service: you browse the menu online, place your order, and pay through the app. The staff doesn't even have to talk to you - someone thinks that this is service! While the service is pared down to the essentials, an 18% gratuity is automatically added, though the app doesn't mention this fixed tip upfront. While we enjoyed the food and drinks, this will likely be our last visit.

I've been here twice and both times I've been delighted by the creativity and craftsmanship of the cocktails. The drinks here are both beautiful and delicious, with options for folks looking for a more adventurous cocktail or stepping just outside the comfort zone of a classic drink. The back patio is a charming little covered oasis that feels like stepping into a tropical garden and not just out the backdoor of a bar in Ballard. This would be a great place to bring a data or an out of town guest, the atmosphere and menu are sure to impress.

I’d highly recommend trying the Lei Over which is similar to a Tokyo Tea 🌺 Absolutely amazing craft cocktails. 🍹 fresh garnish and nice presentation. The service was timely and friendly! Very tiki 🗿 style and Caribbean feeling! Their signature cocktails all have an island 🏝️ aesthetic. The only thing I might suggest adjusting is the lighting. There is very little light inside. 🔦 They do however have a token few seats outside on their back patio area! I would definitely visit again the next time I am there in Seattle 🌊 They do have small bites to eat, but we didn’t get to try any.

Awesome cocktails and lobster dumplings! Loved the variety of cocktails, the pina colada was my favorite with everything house-made and it shows with just how tasty the drink is! The servers were great and I liked the stream-lined ordering and checkout process through the QR code. The outside seating was so well thought out and cute! Will definitely be coming here again!

We were a group of 6 and stopped in before dinner. Some of us had been here before, some were new to the place. The staff were so warm and friendly, they made us comfortable right from the beginning. All of us enjoyed our cocktails and snacks and will be back!

Went here with some buddies for the first time. We're not regulars despite working in the area, so take this review in that context. That said, my goodness, what a great experience we had here. Drinks were great, service was off-scale outstanding and consistent, and even the "food" tasted great - vegetarian dumplings, pork dumplings, Panda Express-like orange chicken, egg rolls, etc. Sure they may have been sourced by the equivalent of a Costco frozen food offering - but they tasted great and hit the spot. Oh, and the mini burger on steamed buns with "sauce" - inhaled these. Love that they encourage folks to bring their dogs inside as well. Such a wonderful vibe.

Incredible food and drinks! My dining partner and I shared some apps. We had the pork buns and then the shrimp shooters. I loved the concept of the crispy shrimp with a little shot of miso soup! The pork buns were also delicious! For my cocktail I went with the coconut mint one, kind of like a grasshopper. It was so rich and creamy with a slightly sweet taste. I would definitely recommend it. It seemed strong too! The service was great! But when you order you put in your requests online instead of with the server, so that was new to me. She still came over and asked if we had any questions though, so that was appreciated. I would love to come back here and try some of their other dishes and drinks soon!

One of our favorite places in Ballard. Though the food is "snacks," we regularly go for dinner and treat them like tapas. Plenty of different options - all delicious - and love the rotating menus! Staff is amazing and always treat us (and our pup when we bring her) well! They're friendly, helpful, and have found the perfect balance between checking on you often enough that you're never wanting and leaving you alone so you don't feel pestered. We've never been required to use the QR code for ordering but have always been offered it as an option, and we enjoy the flexibility it affords. Yes. They auto-add 20% gratuity but told us about it and also noted that we shouldn't feel obligated to tip more. It's built into the system. Love the outdoor garden, which is open year round - with heaters and curtains during winter.

we stopped by for a quick happy hour drink on a date night! staffs were so kind and welcoming. every staff had smiles on their faces and greeted us with warm welcomes. the drinks were also so yummy and a little on the sweet side but it's how i personally like mine. i also saw a menu for dogs as they are pet friendly! we enjoyed it so much and will be back soon for sure

Fun place! Dark lighting. Great cocktails. Service was friendly. You order online using a QR code. You can also pay online. Love the use of tech. Made things go smoothly bc we could just pay on our phone and leave without waiting for staff to check us out. I went on a Friday night with some friends and it wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear your friends talking, which I appreciate.

Food & Drinks - everything we had was amazing! We had 2 drinks each and I wish I could have tried more. Would definitely recommend the Opihi with matcha in it. They do have a few vegetarian options for snacks as well, and they are tasty and a nice little appetizer size. Service - the servers were attentive but not hovering. They had great recommendations and our waters were never empty either. It's really easy to order on your phone but they can take orders too if you're not comfortable with that. Ambiance - the back patio was very pretty and it felt a little like being in a secret garden! The music was nice and even though the patio is small, it didn't feel cramped with other parties. Only weird thing was the light in the bathrooms (a pink bulb?) was very dim and made it quite difficult to see.

Wow, just wow! This little Ballard spot has been on my Yelp radar for awhile now and I finally got to visit last week for a cocktail with friends. It's small, it's dark, and it's FABULOUS! First, the drinks were phenomenal. I had their version of a pina colada, the Chakra Khan, except this one was made with dragonfruit and was soooo good. Seriously, if I didn't have to drive all the way home I would have gladly had another one. The service, though, all I can say is...get me some of that in every bar around town, please! Our server (sorry, I spaced on her name!) was one of the best in the business IMO. She was so friendly I really thought she was the owner of the place. She even remembered my companions, who had been there for the first time a few days prior - including what they'd ordered on their first visit and the drink they'd wanted to try on their next one! My jaw was on the floor at how fabulous she was. Whoever owns this place: you have an amazing staff! I can't wait to go back (I hope the server remembers me...hahaha!) and try another of their creative cocktails (and maybe some food this time, too).

Very cool vibe. Came here with friends on a Friday night and it was pretty full! Luckily we had made a reservation ahead of time, but we still had to wait a bit for them to get our table ready. It has kind of a tiki bar vibe, and I loved the lighting and interior decor. The drinks were tasty and original! Definitely would recommend for a fun and unique experience in Ballard.

LOVE the vibe of this place. It's definitely better for smaller groups. A date night or small get together with a friend or two is perfect. Only have a picture of the dessert, but the food and cocktails are also so yummy and creative. Not to mention the service is always so sweet and gives great recommendations. 10/10

We love this themed, cute & cozy cocktail bar! They have ever changing cocktails so avoid getting too attached when you find one you like... (don't worry you'll find a new favorite soon) They also have great little bites to accompany the drinks! We mix up what we order each time & have never been disappointed with the food. Lastly the service is friendly & attentive! Love the staff, they always have a great attitude & wonderful suggestions if you're unsure about what to order. Check this place out for date night or next happy hour!

Loved this place! We stopped in while we waited to be sat for dinner down the block. I'm so glad we did and will definitely be back again. Drinks were unique and very tasty. Lots of flavor and fresh ingredients. I loved the vibe. Very relaxed and inviting. Staff were super friendly and a joy to interact with.

I was excited to try this place and there are a lot of decisions made that are fantastic. One, the courtyard is fabulous. The interior decor is chic actually, not so much tiki, more like classic tropical Hawaii. The server we had was engaging and fun, she was super nice. We arrived after food service, so I cannot vouch for the food. We each ordered a drink. Our drinks: an old fashioned and a pina colada. They came out looking so pretty. Mine had an additional ube cream cheese froth on top which was a good surprise, and I thought it was creative. However, one sip of the drink itself was far too sweet and kind of tart-like yoghurt. I was expecting something a little sweet, blended would have been nice so that it was little more icy and frothy. it missed a good coconut flavor somehow and no hint of rum or alcohol of any kind. The old fashioned had the right taste, but was overly sweetened too. We mentioned our drinks were really sweet but there was no offer to have it remade less sweet or to replace it with something else. We tried, but we could not finish them and I was a little disappointed. These are first impressions, If we ever go back and try again for the food, I will ask for my drink to be unsweetened or made minimally sweet. You should know this place adds an automatic 20% tip to your ticket-no matter the size of your table. We liked our server and would have tipped her well without that, but it was not mentioned and came as a surprise. Lastly, one thing I really liked is that dogs are allowed and there is a menu item for your dogs!

First of all- the cutest bar I've ever been too like the perfect amount of chic and tropical. The pink lighting perfectly illuminated the drinks making them look as dreamy as they tasted. Tried the Sacred Heart cocktail (Similar to the "Killer Queen"; the we had was different) - basically a French 75 swapping citrus with dragonfruit sake which truly made it so sweet and tart-a dangerously good drink. Servers were friendly and table QR ordering meant minimal interruptions when caught up in conversation~ will absolutely be going back. Only thing I'd note is the restaurant was veeerry warm and somewhat humid due to how crowded it can get :)

Super cute bar in Ballard! We ordered 3 Koi Fish cocktails for the two of us because we loved it so much. The drink is tropical and fruity with a spicy kick from ginger. I would recommend putting yourself on the Yelp Waitlist before coming, so you will not have to wait in a long line. I loved the service here, very fast and friendly! You order all the drinks and pay through your phone, so the experience was efficient and seamless.

Delicious specialty cocktails in a moody, unique spot and great staff. My partner and I grabbed cocktails here and we were pleasantly surprised. I got the piña colada cocktail and he got the chocolate-banana espresso drink. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful, made sure we were having a good time. The prices here are expensive but it's definitely worth it if you're a fan of cool tiki bar drinks!

Omg ! Like superbly cute little hidden gem spot in Ballard! Love it love it! 4/5 stars because they close way too early. I wish they were open later so I could've spent more time there. The cocktails are so unique and delicious:) if your a dessert sweet tooth fan and love cocktails this is a must go. Great small seating area inside and outside huts. Service is automatically added on the tap so make sure you remember that. Anyways OMG cute and adorable spot! Will be back for sure.

If you're looking for a unique and enjoyable drinking and small bites experience, then you must check out this Hawaiian cocktail bar. This place serves up some of the most delicious and creatively crafted cocktails you'll ever try, like the Opihi and Chakra Khan, which are full of flavor. I wish they had add more options on the mocktail menu or served the virgin variant of their cocktails. Speaking of food, the pork and veggie dumplings with house sauce are a must-try, with the perfect combination of juicy meat, fresh vegetables, and a rich, savory sauce that will leave your taste buds dancing. The cozy dim-lit ambiance creates a relaxing and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a romantic date night or catching up with friends over drinks. Plus, with touchless ordering and payment services, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your evening without worrying about anything. PS: The cocktail menu keeps changing, so there's always something new and exciting to try, which is perfect if you're a regular.

Top 5 things to know about Little Tin 1. Beautifully elegantly Hawaiian themed. If you go expecting kitsch Polenisia, you'll be disappointed. It is not a tiki bar. 2. The drinks are some of the best around. Gorgeous to look at and flavors are unstoppable. 3. Staff makes you feel so welcome. 4. Small flavorful Hawaiian inspired bites. Not enough for a meal. Definitely good as a starter. 5. Expensive. Drinks are around $17+ and food is also pricey. Plus there's a mandatory 20% gratuity. Bottimline: A great way to start off date night, but would find it hard to make this a regular stop.

Over the years this place has held up, I still love little tin! The cocktails are unique and the ambiance is great. But they recently took off their 2 signature drinks in their latest menu revamp which I sorely miss - the Koi Fish and the Birds and the Bees. Please bring them back!

Vanessa R.

Yelp
The ambiance was edgy and extravagant, but also inviting and cozy, a great place to unwind and treat yourself! Everything from the cocktails to the small plates were detailed and intentional - the little things that make cocktails fun and a experience vs just having a drink Service was flawless- enthused, personable, informative and fun

I think the ambiance is great but there is no service at all, you will have to scan a code and order first from your phone and put your Apple Pay down. We ordered two cocktails very sweet for about $18 each, and when we checked out through the phone a $7.80 automatic gratuity was added. Grand total for two drinks was $44 dollars and there's no heads up that the gratuity charge was going to be included. They give you a water bottle to pour your water and the waitress took it away half way through.

I had really high hopes for this spot- the reviews are great, the atmosphere is cute and the waitstaff were lovely. The drinks, unfortunately, were not good at all. Very overpriced and the recipes need heavy tweaking. We left disappointed.

This place is an absolute dream! Old school interior design with the best wallpaper. Enough about decor, it's the drinks that really make this place an absolute must. Very tropical and the shrubs were just insane. Tasty tasty. Will be back often

This bar is special and my favorite in Seattle. We have been coming here for years and have always been impressed by the quality of the service as well as the creative cocktails. They are the best place in Seattle to have a variety of seasonal cocktails and foods as well as old favorites. The corn nuts: these corn nuts are wonderful. They are a good balance of salt and a little bit of heat, and are a great snack to start the food of the evening with. The Hollaaa De JaVu (seasonal): do you like smoke? Do you like guava? Do you like mezcal? Try. This. Amazing. Concoction. The cherry is soaked in amaro for 24 hours. They soak the cherry that came with it in amaro for 24 hours before serving. So good. Tea House & Guavaaaah (server) : was recommended by our amazing server the amazing Frankie to continue my guava journey- this was a guava botanical delight. In a time of COVID-19, they are requiring hand sanitizing, distancing and masks when you are not at your table. You scan a QR code for their menu, and you can sit in or outside. On a Saturday night, we were asked to stay for up to 90 minutes. The outside seating is comfortable-it is warmer weather but their gazebo has curtains and patio heaters on standby. Treat yourself and come to one of the most underrated and unique bars out there!

Vibes vibes vibes!!! I'm totally in love with this place. The outdoor patio is absolutely a date night/girls night out heaven. Didn't get food this time but it looked like it was a charcuterie style with tinned goods (maybe also a few other snack types). Drinks were absolutely scrumptious and I can't get over how stinking cute the coasters were. Got a couple of cocktails falling under their "tea house" section and it just hit all the right bitter, sweet, and sour notes. All you want and dream about in a cocktail. Lastly, it would not be a fair review if I didn't mention how friendly and lovey all the staff were. I can't wait to go back and try their tinned goodies along with tasty cocktails in the most adorable setting in Ballard!

Adam P.

Yelp
The drinks are different. Which is a great thing. They were absolutely on point. The outside seating in the back is nice compared to most establishments. But, they automatically put a 20% tip on your bill and then ask if you'd like to tip more. I realize they're not the only ones doing that, but, damn that feels shifty.

A great vibe bar! Many seats and is great for groups of people for loungey night out. We got seated pretty quickly even being a weekend, and food was delicious. I came as a group of 3, and we got to sit in a Yurt that was heated, hearing the rain. They had dumplings and coconut shrimp. The dumplings come in this savory/sweet sauce that elevates the dishes from simple bar food to a perfect accompaniment t to drinks. Coconut shrimp was crisp and hot. The drinks were refreshing, fruit, and sweet. Definitely in my rotation of bar hopping, when you are in Ballard.

Service: We came around 7pm on a sunny Saturday evening and was seated immediately. We were asked if we wanted a table inside or outside, we opted for outside. The hostess was nice and our server was friendly. Drinks and food flowed pretty quickly after ordering. You order through a QR code and a 20% gratuity fee is automatically applied. Drinks/Food: you come here for the drinks! The drinks were strong and very thought out. The presentation is nice too. We ordered a pina colada, Chakra Khan, espresso martinis and a non-alcoholic Matcha drink (forgot what it's called). Food was decent, definitely more snacky but perfect bites to pair with cocktails. We ordered the Alani Moa, coconut shrimp and Ono dumplings. Ambience: trendy, cozy date night vibes. The location overall is on the smaller side, so get ready to get cozy with your neighbors. The bar is dark but typical for the vibe they're setting. There's only one bathroom so get ready to wait in line when it gets busy. It's also REALLY dark in there. The patio seating is also small but cozy, there are heaters in case it gets cold. They are SUPER dog friendly! Pups can even sit inside with you. They also have something on the menu for your pup!

Probably one of the best cocktail bars I've ever been to! Amazing, superbly complex cocktails. I don't think you could go wrong with any one of them. In particular, I would highly recommend the Birds & the Bees and the Tea House Greenhouse. These are almost too dangerously easy to drink, in the best way possible. Very cool ambience as well, both indoors and outdoors (bonus: outdoors has heaters so you never get cold!). Ordering is convenient - all you have to do is order online on your phone and then they bring the drinks to you. FYI, tip is already included in your overall bill. I live on the East Coast and am dreaming about coming back just for these cocktails - don't miss it! Also highly recommend making a reservation although we were lucky enough to just show up right when it opened and get seated without one.

This is hands down the best cocktail bar in Seattle. The ambience is lovely. It's a Hawaiian themed bar and there's loads of attention to detail. Lots of indoor plants adorn the place and give it a vibrant yet soothing vibe. The outdoor patio is even more classy. Now the cocktails. As I said, the best in Seattle. The cocktails wer full of exotic flavors. The texture was spot on and the presentation was adorable. We ordered the "Birds and the bees". It had prominent notes of rose and coconut milk along with a bunch of other notes that were more subtle, giving it a very complex and enjoyable flavor. We also got the "Teahouse Greenhouse". Again, complex flavors. Very unique and exciting. We will be regular visitors to this adorable bar with the most exotic cocktails in the city.

Nice comfortable place with easy-going atmosphere. Interesting and varied drink options, yet no Mai Tai offering seems odd for a Hawaiian/tiki'esk' theme. Ordering and paying is all accomplished through an internet link, which begs the question of why a 20% service fee plus a recommended tip of 5%-15% is automatically added to the on-line invoice. For me, that was a fairly large ask for mixing a drink, delivering it to the table, and clearing the table. Albeit very pleasantly accomplished by staff. It also seemed odd that there was a 90 minute recommended stay limit (of which they would help to keep you apprised). Not quite sure how to react to that one, but I ended up leaving after one drink allowing other waiting patrons to enter.

Little Tin Goods & Apothecary Cabinet, tucked into busy Ballard Avenue, offers an exquisite selection of cocktails and small bites. There is a lovely outdoor patio that is heated and covered. This is absolutely my favorite bar in Seattle! 1) Service (+): Our server was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. There is both heated and covered outdoor dining and indoor dining. There are no reservations accepted so it's first come, first serve. 2) Ambience (+): I love the cozy, romantic, and rustic vibe of the restaurant that the restaurant was even able to replicate outdoors. 3) Alcohol/Drinks (++): As a gin lover, this place was absolute heaven! Many cocktails on the menu feature Jasmine green tea infused gin, combining two of my favorite drinks! The "Birds and the Bees" was also delicious, featuring botanical gin, rose geranium liqueur, house lemon lime shrub, coconut milk, and Spanish dry vermouth. 4) Value for Money (+): Little Tin Goods & Apothecary is very reasonably priced with drinks in the $12-$14 range

Great little tiki bar. Gorgeous outside area but the inside seating is also quite nice. Good window seats for people watching or tuck in the back near the live plants. The food is delicious - we ordered a round of the lobster dumplings and then shrimp... and then ordered a second round. so yummy! The drinks were great. Very tiki, hawaiian drinks. The Pau Hana shot was amazing. It's not really a shot but a small drink - easily multiple sips/drinks from the small glass. It was delicious. also, I liked that you can order and pay from your table. The wait staff was awesome and attentive but that was a nice feature.

Loved the tuna belly tin with bread, hard boiled egg, radish and dill. It is covered in oil and lightly sprinkled with salt. Same goes with the tinned mackerel. During happy hour on a Saturday, they have $10 drinks. I really liked the bravada which had lilikoi juice. Great place to stop by and get a bit of food to eat and some drinks. Can't stop thinking about the tuna belly.

During our visit in Seattle, we wanted to try some unique/delicious cocktails. Though we were told a few places to try, we settled with Little Tin because its yelp rating and pictures. The shop was located at a busy street, which has tons of different eateries and bars. It's a bit hard to find Little Tin in the dark, but we managed it. The main space was inspired by Italy/Anthology/tiki bar theme, while they played an old 90's movie on the rusty wall. It also had a small courtyard in the back, reminding me of a lovely tea garden. It had so much going on, i was a bit confused and my eyes never ran out of things to look at/study! Our first cocktails were Weekend Face & Little Announcement. Both were perfectly balance of fresh fruit and tartness. We loved them so much, we decided to ordered some food and have another round of drinks instead of bar hopping to another place. On the second round, we ordered Koi Fish, Birds and Bees and a garden picnic platter. Sad to say we didn't like the second round much. The drinks were too fragrant, they reminded me my lipstick scent. The platter also left a lot to be desired. I wished we had fresh baguette instead of dry + hard ones. Also, there's not enough of baguette to accompany all the olives/meats/cheese. For 22 bucks, we were having pretty high hope. Overall, we still had a good night at Little Tin. Next time we'd come and order Weekend Face and Little Announcement, and hop to another establishment for more cocktails and maybe a burger!

Would highly recommend for cocktails! They have many Polynesian themed drinks with different types of alcohol such as gin and rum. I got a drink that had gin and ube in it, a bit sweeter for my taste but still good. My friend had the Koi fish drink which came in a fish shaped glass. Unique cocktails that you won't be able to find anywhere else.

I rarely come to Ballard but I'll have to start coming more often if there are more gems like Little Tin! I love that you can join the waitlist from your phone. We waited less than 5 minutes on a Friday night around 7pm which was surprising but nice! The back outdoor garden is super cute. The drinks are unique and cute! And they came SO FAST! We thought someone else's drinks were being delivered to our table because they came way quicker than normal! The service was super friendly and great. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this spot! Perfect for a girls happy hour or a date night.

We absolutely love the atmosphere of Ballard bars!! Little Tin had the perfect mood lighting and a very unique drink menu!! This is a great spot for a date night or a small group of friends. We ordered the Birds & the Bees and the HOLLAAA DÈ JAVÚ and really enjoyed both drinks!! Also look at how cute the glasses are!

One of my favorite cocktail bars in Ballard. Love all their drinks but birds and the bee is my favorite drink here. I literally get is every time during my visit. Truly can't go wrong with any of their drinks! Ambiance- 5/5 (FYI- the garden/patio does attack bugs/insects) Drinks- 5/5 Food - we love their chicken but it's nothing special 3.5/5 Wait- 1/5. First come first serve. If you come after 6pm on Thursday- Saturday, be ready to wait.

This place is so cute and the drinks are expertly made. We came mid week so we were able to get a table inside but it was still bustling for a Wednesday. Service was great and hostess was the sweetest. Check it out if you ever get the chance.

Great vibes. The table attendants were nice until I indicated I couldn't drink alcohol that day (meds, don't you know). Not so friendly afterward, I'm afraid. The food was good. The drink was enjoyed by my partner. The place had a great feel. Easy enough to order and pay--"super chill," according to the person working there. Go! Just be sure you order alcohol or they might unfriend you on the spot.

Such a cute patio! Each table is in its own enclosed area and unique. Staff is incredibly friendly and makes the experience that much better. Drinks: - Hula Hoop - perfect for the summer, fruity and refreshing - Urban family sour - if you like IPAs and and sours, you'll enjoy this. Tart but good Food: - Pork dumplings - THE FLAVOR! Probably some of the best dumplings I've had. Do not pass these up!

Drinks are really good, really good mocktails and cocktails. Quite sweet but I liked it, very complex flavor profiles.

From the time I checked in with the host to walking out of the bar was an amazing time. Marco, the host was as friendly as he can be and as accurate as he can be on the waiting time. He gave us a choice to sit outside or inside and we chose to sit in the little tiki bar like with nice dim lighting. I enjoyed my "new york dawl" house cocktail and my partner had "jazz ?" Which was spicy bourbon house cockatail. The server was patient and loved her suggestion on the drinks. 30 min wait, but it was worth the wait. It was relaxing and had somewhat private atmosphere with floral barriers. Will be back again!!
