There are dancers of all ages, which is very cool, and the leaders who were forced to dance with me seemed to be understanding, even though I am an awful dancer. I guess everyone is a beginner at some point! I hope to go back and improve my skills!

There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food.

Extraordinary addition to the theater district/midtown Boston…read more Friendly staff, everyone with energy to spare. Great music. I sampled the following drinks: Pimms Cup Fruity liqueur cut with ginger beer and lemon juice, so doesn't taste too sweet, begs for seconds. Louisiana Express Sweet punch, perhaps too sweet, but the guava plays happily with vodka. Whattamelon Bae Perhaps not always on the menu, but if you're in the mood for an ice cold slurry of watermelon and vodka, lemon and rosemary, you're in luck. Finally, and of course, the vaunted mac and cheese should be on every human's bucket list. Gooey and garlic infused. Cozy, great drinks, great music, there's nothing not to like here.

The Love in Tokyo cocktail was very sweet and creamy, at the cost of the matcha taste. First sip…read more(even after mixing) was heavy on the vodka, but this gets less overpowering as you continue to sip and let the ice melt to dilute it. Unfortunately, despite the sprinkling of matcha on top and the pleasant light green color of the cocktail, there was minimal matcha flavor in it. I was rather disappointed by how overwhelmingly cream-forward the taste was. However, this and many other cocktails are very pretty. If you're looking for a place with drinks that are more for the show or aesthetics, then this would probably be a good choice. The place was fairly accommodating of our large-ish party (~11 people)- it probably helped that we went on a Wednesday night when they were pretty much empty. They just let us sit in the corner and pull up chairs. Service was rather minimal and lackluster.
