My brother suggested this place while we were in town visiting and I'm glad he did - it's a really…read morecool, swanky, dark bar that seems good for groups. It wasn't too busy when we arrived and got complimentary valet. We were seated right away at this cool four top table connected to the end of the bar. The lighting and ambiance felt upscale and moody. The menu is varied with some really interesting-sounding drinks. I ordered the mi loquita: tequila, blackberry liqueur, house-made hot honey shrub, acidified pineapple. They have some snacks and this bar is attached to Dozo where we had omakase reservations later. We got some of the furikake chex mix, which was a bit sweet and spicy. I loved it! Our drinks were very nice and balanced, and quite tasty. Signature cocktails range from $13-$16 which seemed normal for this type of spot. I'm glad we got to check it out and wish we could have gotten some kind of small souvenir (I love when bars have a matchbook etc.). I'd come back!

Historical and really love the atmosphere. Very laid back and not noisy. Even the music is not loud that you can have conversations without yelling. I highly recommend you make reservations. We didn't do that and only had to wait 20 minutes since it wasn't super busy at the time. It's an open bar, which when you are seated, you are waited on. They have everything from specialty cocktails, wine/sake, beer, non alcoholic, spirits and small snacks/appetizers. I got a glass of red wine (Tempranillo), my fiancée ordered the smoked Manhattan and my best friend ordered their specialty cocktail- Softer than my intentions. We really enjoyed our time and had a great experience. Don't sleep on Dayton. They have so much to offer and what a great hidden gem!

Pretty dark in there, no windows, dim lights. A few high tops on the right side of the bar, but it's a fairly small place so I would bring a big crowd. The bar is small as well, but they had a pretty big selection of liquor and mixers. Crown and Jameson drinks were $5 a piece. No beer on draught. Bottles of your typical brewskys, like bud and Miller lite. They have a TouchTunes type of thing in the corner to play music. Overall, I think it's a nice little chill spot.

It is very dimly lit with minimal natural light coming in. This adds to the ambiance and I love it, though it does make for a bit of a challenge in reading the extensive drink menu.

Expect a crowd, but you will find sufficient bar staff to provide timely service and answer any questions or help you make a selection.
