Such a cool place. We stopped in for a cocktail before dinner last night. Bartender was very friendly and attentive. They make really nice craft cocktails here. Note - place was a bit hard to find. You have to walk down an alley but worth the stop. I had the Elote "Spicy Margarita." Boyfriend had an Aperol Spritz. Really cool stemware too. read more

On my third try once again, I encountered a malaise and a dated version of cocktail bars that I had seen come and go, but here it is still holding on, but more importantly, the beginning of it I requested a very, very simple drink, and Negroni on a Saturday on the cusp of the beginning of a busy night however, there weren't that many patrons but the seating at the bar was filled. No one sat no one Pushing six top table. I requested the drink. My request was forgotten of from the person in the bartender who was very good at the idea of something that is incredibly dated called flare, including his apron that had all the pins in all the actions and all the flips and everything. He eventually made my cocktail, but when I handed him cash, I was told we don't have enough to break this, so I'll just take your full money which, if I had gone the greatest of service I would've shrugged and said no problem but here lies the problem. The drink is always gonna be the same the service makes it better and this was not that case. read more

Very small but cute space, gave very nice speakeasy/lounge vibes. The drinks were well made and they came to our area very quickly. Would recommend going on a week night since the weekend tends to get very busy and the space is small, check them out! read more

After getting rude service nearby, we stumbled upon this jem. Cute cozy spot with a speakeasy type of feel. We found a nice spot near the bar to accommodate our party of 5 on a Friday night. It was steady for a small spot and only two bartenders, but we were acknowledged in an appropriate amount of time. The Aviation was good, definitely a gin lovers drink and the Bee's Knees was a perfect mixture of sweet and sour. We then tried all three of the Dessert cocktails. All were made perfectly, but the Nutty Monkey really took the show. Literally tastes like a Banana Split... dangerous. The only downfall for me was the service was a little slower than I'd expect. I understand it was a Friday night but one of the bartenders kept referring to what seemed like the drink recipe guide, which of course slowed them down a bit more. read more

Hard to find, worth the search! Tucked in on Donnelly Walk, JB Perceval's is the cocktail spot to find. Great cocktails, in a great venue with a great staff. Perfect combination. Humphrey Bogart greets you as you enter this throwback to comfort and great drinks. Small bites are available and they are very good too. What a contrast to the more casual, college crowd bars and restaurants nearby. J.B.'s is an adult oasis of flavor infused drinks served in great glassware by attentive folks in a great spot. Cheers! read more

Ran into two different friends here, both local and both said, "It's a great bar! We come here all the time." And can totally see why: great drinks and yummy small bite plates. Friendly staff. Cool vibe kind of place. We called in advance to see about a reservation bc one person in our group is on crutches. They were very happy to help us. Nice! Our group tried both seasonal specials (Mr Fig, pear drink (forget name), house specialties (old fashioned, something with curaçao, smoke house) and a request for a hot toddy which they gladly provided. All were outstanding. We all loved the glassware. We tried the charcuterie and anti pasta boards, hummus, and pretzels. Boards and hummus were excellent. The pretzels were hard pretzels with cayenne pepper - considering how excellent everything else was, these didn't hold up in comparison. We had a fun night! read more

Why am I just finding out about this place?? Hidden in the little alley between Archie Moore's and Playa bowl, this tiny cocktail bar is a very welcome discover. The ambiance is darker, speakeasy like. It's not very big; I would estimate no more than 20 people could fit in there comfortably, which is perfect for this setting. Bartenders were very skilled and took care in crafting the cocktails. My amaretto sour was fantastic, and my wife liked the gin fizz a lot. Will definitely be back! read more

Great atmosphere. Excellent drinks with catchy names. Rotationally change their drinks but still keeping their signature ones. The place has the "speakeasy" vibe and most definitely is worth a trip! read more

Nice succulent bar in the heart of Fairfield. It sort of smelled like a nice perfume or cologne when we walked - not strong, but pleasant. It is lounge-style seating with bar seating as well. Their bar service was efficient too! I enjoy The Billionaire cocktail just days after Christmas 2022. Had a nice quite and relaxed time enjoy a drink with my best friend. I very much recommend stopping by for a quick drink when you have time. read more

Has just become one of my favorite spots for drinks. Cozy atmosphere and perfect For a date night when you want to enjoy a conversation and perfectly mixed cocktails. I highly recommend! read more

Great seasonal drink selection, and a broad range of alcohol options for the cocktail aficionado in an intimate setting. Highly recommend for a fancy nightcap in Fairfield. The only reason for the 4 star rating was the service. The 2 young women bartenders were more interested in their cellphones than making drinks. I would have had at least 2 more drinks had the service been better. As a former bartender, you should be aware of the empty glasses at the bar especially when it's so small. read more

Close your eyes and you're in New York. A very seductive, low key, cocktail lounge vibe. Superb barkeeps who mix perfection, especially the Vesper Martini. One of the true gems. read more

Great little hole in the wall cocktail bar! They have a selection of seasonal drinks, but it's a fully stocked bar so you can order pretty much anything. We got a few little bites to eat - meat and cheese platter and the hummus - both were delicious. I initially got the Spicy Passionfruit Mule, which is actually pretty spicy. I tried to order the drink without the spicy vodka in it, but they ended up just giving me a regular Mule, which was good, I was just hoping for the Passionfruit liqueur. They had live music and not super crowded, so overall had a really good experience and I can't wait to come back! read more

A wonderful wine bar under the knowledgeable wing of Billy and his wonderful wife. I need to return asap

Speakeasy vibe with a lot of live music events ! Went for an early drink and really liked their aperol spritz. I got to listen to live music while I was there too which was great. read more

This craft cocktail lounge will transport you back to a 1920's speakeasy J.B. Percival Co. is the coolest new drink spot to open in Fairfield. You will absolutely love the intimate and cozy feel of this bar and be wowed by the tasty cocktails. We were too stuffed from dinner but they also had an option to do a curated chocolate pairing with your cocktail - super cool! In typical speakeasy fashion the entrance is hard to find so make sure you go down the little alley and look out for the sign. They also offer beer and wine from locally produced and locally owned breweries and vineyards. read more

Great spot for date night or after dinner drinks. Love the bar ambiance and vibes, been a few times and never disappointed. Only downside is there's always a customer seeming to look for problems, guess it comes with the area. If you're looking for quick drinks it's not the spot, it's craft so things take a minute. But well worth the wait, only spot I've gone to and gotten a proper last word. Big fan of the no tolerance, only spot ik of where bartenders don't tolerate negative behavior or poor attitude. As a former bartender in my youth I have to say bartenders are people too and love that establishment lets their staff act as such. Will always speak greatly of this place read more

We really want to love this place. The drinks are great and the decor is intimate. However, we've been three times and were never greeted, have felt like the bartender was doing us a favor by making a drink, and generally unfriendly service. I hope they figure it out because it's a nice addition to Fairfield. read more

Wow - so disappointing Service was horrible I jumped up right after ordering a drink to change my choice and was basically told "too bad" I'm already making this even though the bartender was making the same drink in a minute. No napkins, no coasters, AND THEN, they charged us for an extra drink and "couldn't credit it". Seriously? All around terrible service. Don't bother if you're looking for a place to grab a cocktail. So many other great places to go in Fairfield! read more

Discovered this cool place after dinner on a Wednesday night with a friend. There is no place around the area that has the speakeasy vibe like this cocktail lounge. As a craft cocktail enthusiast, I can say they have a fantastic selection of liquors to craft anything you can imagine. Service was good, i would have liked if there was more seating, it was a little hard to find, so keep looking, it is well worth the hunt. Check it out. Cheers ! read more

This is only my second review of any kind ever. 2nd time here. Good vibe, trying a tad bit too hard. Good not great cocktails. But a really cool after dinner destination sort of feel to it. Diverse, fun clientele. The #1 problem is the lead bartender. Both times he's got an attitude problem. Dark hair, beard. Tonight our group of 5 left and accidentally left our credit card at the bar. He was swearing at our group outside the entrance "hey, you're effing skipping out on your tab!?!" Embarrassed we immediately went back in and of course they had our credit card and when that became clear he said we owed him an apology. Seriously?! Guy is a jackass. A simple "hey, did you guys pay your tab" or "did you guys forget to close out your tab" would have been far more professional. If he was in his early 20s maybe I'd be sympathetic. But this guy's a seasoned 30s or 40s. Fairfield restaurant/bar scene is too competitive to tolerate this sort of nonsense. Place could carve a nice niche for itself as it's a little differentiated but not with this approach to customer service. Not returning until he's gone and telling everyone I know. read more
