The vibe is very moody and dark, a true classic jazz type lounge feel with dried flowers on every table and a cute little lamp to really give you the feeling of having your own little world at the table The drinks are phenomenal, they have a great variety and Jillian is not afraid of making something off menu for her regulars (pre tested drinks of course). My favorite so far has been the chocolate cherry martini

Love it. Then had a Whiskey Sour and finally The Grand Desire. Nothing came close to that Winters Calling though. Very unique drink. Also got to sit and listen to some of the most angelic voices I've heard in a long time. It was a nice, chill place where I could escape for a bit. Definite highlight on my trip from Seattle.

The…read morelounge is replete with tons of cozy loungers and is illuminated as such that u may carry on discrete conversations while enjoying a beer or single malt. Despite the convenience of this being primarily a hotel bar, I would recommend this for locals seeking a waypoint as they make their way to the abundant local culture - be it the parliament building, bay, or BC museum.

And the copper straw for that drink suited it perfectly, really brought out the ice cream coldness in each sip. Alas this wasn't my drink, but my wife's. I had the sotol cocktail and that was smoky and interesting too. Vibes were immaculate here for the weekend night I went. The gold and art deco furnishing with the varied lighting and green-gold wallpaper, along with the unexpectedly detailed wood carvings under the bar were great. Plus the relaxed but bassy music selection added to the lounge experience. Very happy, hope I can return and order the pistachio drink for myself. Fast service, no complaints.

I really wish we had something more like this closer to home this Speakeasy-esq place (it's not…read morereally hidden but it's a flight of stairs up before the main restaurant which is another flight of stairs above this cute place) They outdid themselves with decor and dark ambience, the staff are super friendly and attentive while giving you your privacy. It's not large but there were plenty of tables and seats at the bar I honestly cannot remember the name of the drink I had but it hit the spot and wasn't too sweet (always a plus in my book) we also had the Trio of house made dips 3/5 which was chunky hummus, a dried tomato and walnut romesco and feta kopanisti with LOTS of pita bread. All in all a great place to stop into and chill was a great ending to our day. Will absolutely visit again!

Wine selection is surprisingly good. The service is friendly and efficient, and the nibbles do the job: charcuterie plate is perfect for two people, flatbreads are flavorful and finger-foody (not tedious or messy). I hope they expand upon the menu. The dim lighting, comfy seating and cool music really transport you. A great place for small parties, date night mood-setting and happy hour (starts at 3:00). Highly recommended! See you there!

Not much room to order a drink and with only two staff and no floor service, less of a lounge and unfortunately more of a bar feel. Great selection off the menue... just have to locate one.

I was looking for champagne, which they had an unfamiliar brand but it was really light, more on the dry side, and crisp - exactly what I was looking for! The bartender was informative and kept busy during my time there. The ambiance is warm and loungey with lots of different seating options. Some facing the hotel lobby for people watching, a couple of intimate booths, group seating around the fireplace, and bar top seats. A group came in for whiskey, and played board games that were available in the seating area. The holiday decorations made it cozy and the perfect spot to read a book while sipping on a good champs!

Juicy and delicious. Also the steak salad. Really good! Have a great time and tell them Tim sent ya! ;)

Our waitress was timely and very friendly. Very informative on any menu questions we had. Our food was very good! I had the carnivore plate, and my girlfriend had the bruschetta. Both were very good! This is the second place I've been to recently that has had carnivore options on their menu. Their drink menu is very extensive, they have a great tap list, and a great mocktail list. The only reason they are getting a 4 instead of a 5 is that they were out of several of the ingredients to make their mocktails they had listed on their menu and we went their specifically for the mocktail menu because my girlfriend can not have alcohol at this time. Great place, great food, and great service though.

What a cute little place in the heart of Burlington!

The place was full during happy hour, which was ending shortly after my arrival, so I quickly ordered a Manny's (no happy hour pricing for craft beers, sadly), and their happy hour spicy Asian shrimp. The beer arrived cold and, soon, those beautiful, sizzling hot shrimp were sitting before me. It was the perfect appy to tide me over until dinner later, and just the right blend of crunchy and spicy. Highly recommend! Soon my friend arrived and we caught up on old times while she enjoyed a glass of chardonnay and I had another Manny's. I did look over their dinner menu, but the prices felt a little high (as with most places nowadays). Judging by how good those happy hour shrimp were, though, I can definitely see myself trying some of their other food when I return. Oh, by the way, the service was awesome and super friendly. We sat at the bar and were well taken care of.

TL;DR: A worthwhile cocktail bar with the right mood and…read moresolid execution. Setting your expectations correctly is key here. Drinks: We had four cocktails between the two of us. All were good and well made, but a couple felt slightly out of balance, keeping them from hitting the excellent tier. Service: Attentive, professional, and engaged. The bartender knew what they were doing and kept things moving smoothly. Vibe: Dark, old-school, and moody in the best way. You quickly forget you're in a hotel once inside. Comfortable and easy to settle into. What could be better: Tighter balance and consistency in the cocktails. A small refinement would make a noticeable difference here.
