There's a dance floor and even an area to play a game. I'm not exactly sure what game it is.. but there is a game table. There's a cute mirror hall leading up to the restrooms. I forgot ol girl name that helped us out but she did a great job with any questions we had about the drinks on the menu. They even have a Russian roulette spinner if you're feeling ballsy and want to take a random shot. The whole bar area is a vibe and the inside is gorgeous!

Inside, the dining area is romantically dim, yet still well-lit with chandeliers, globed pendant lights, wall lanterns, and table lamps. Similarly, bar area is furthermore enhanced with purplish pink via ceiling spotlights forecasting energy and fun. For nice-sized parties, there are three long, low, button-tufted back booths around a long table. At the bar, you will find blue upholstered stools with ornate backs. Lastly, the outdoor patio is simply sleek and spacious. We arrived 8 minutes after 9PM to find the kitchen was closed. Thankfully, our server was able to acquire us fries. Debated between Guava Goddess and Lavender Lemonade, tried and loved the latter. Future plans to return, well before 9PM when the kitchen closes, to order from the main menu plus try the Guava Goddess.

We truly appreciate the coordination of the reservation and special menu for our group. The food was superb, the environment was amazing, and the patio was absolutely perfect for such a special occasion. Most importantly, their staff provided excellent service throughout the evening and made everyone feel welcomed and well taken care of. We are grateful for the experience and for all of the attention to detail that helped make the night such a success.

Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

I made a reservation several days in advance and never received a password. The door downstairs was propped open, so that we had to pull it back to confirm it was the locker we were supposed to step through. No one confirmed our reservation upstairs and of course, no password was requested. Our drinks were all tasty, but the cherry old fashioned was a bit over-sweet. What was particularly disappointing about the experience was when I ordered a Black Manhattan for the second round I was told the bartender was new and only making drinks on the limited house menu. My second old fashioned was good, but I was expecting a higher end experience overall.

They have the cheapest happy hour eats in town! It has gone a up a little in 2026. But they have $1.25 tacos, $3 sliders, $1.25 wings. Beer and well drink specials all throughout the week. They have become popular for their themed brunch buffets and bottomless mimosas for $50. A time will be had! Everyone gets pretty tipsy but there's never drama, lots of singing and dancing. The weekend evenings are definitely geared towards the younger crowd and it becomes shoulder to shoulder- there will sometimes be altercation that occur but it looks like they hire a ton of security. Vibez has taken over the space next door called "Eva" it has a small bar and a dance floor with vip couches. Love the staff they hire! Rachel and Clinton are my faves, awesome people and the owner is really down to earth and cool too.
