What a fun night! 250 whiskeys to choose from! We had a great time with Paul! Service was top notch, he was super knowledgeable and you can tell he is passionate about it! We tried a variety of drinks, all were great! Highly recommend! Update: we came back for another night, and Paul again did his thing! Highly recommend the It's the Bees knees or an old fashioned with Angels Envy, so smooth! Highly recommend talking to Paul before ordering! He will hit it on the nose!

I was on the way back from Farragut State Park to Coeur d'Alene and stopped by one of the more interesting locations for a cocktail bar. This is located right next to a gas station parking lot really in the middle of nowhere. My first drink was the smoke in the meadow ($12) which is very much like an old fashioned but instead utilizing elderflower. The smoky glass is also a nice presentation. My second drink was the queen bee ($12) which is like a whiskey sour with the egg white but more complex with cardamom honey and cardamom bitters. Even in the middle of seemingly nowhere they can still get packed on the weekends, with trivia on Tuesdays, a band on Fridays, and a food truck on Fridays and Saturday. The environment is very chill and the craft cocktails are exceptional. It really is a hidden gem that you would just pass by unless you were getting gas.

My whiskey flight selection. Yum!

Great little whiskey bar. Stopped in here on a recent to NorId. Love the flight offerings, great selections. My Bro-In-Law splurged and had a pour of the Pappy 12-year Reserve, which he shared. That was wonderful. Good to know that when I open my bottle, how much I'll enjoy it. Planning a visit this coming week, with some more family members, looking forward to it.

So many bottles to choose from. There are expensive options and not so expensive ones. I was able to splurge on a taste of a bottle I would never buy and get a glass of one that I might buy in the future. The place is cool to hangout in.

Delicious dealer's choice cocktail with Tequila, Suze, and Benedictine!

A truly exceptional cocktail bar worth visiting! The bar manager, Peter, is extraordinarily hospitable and the creative genius behind the menu. All of his showcased a creativity which would rival many of the best cocktail bars in the country, and are well beyond the scope of cocktails found at a typical North Idaho bar. They also offer a limited bar menu selected from Belle's Brunch place in the same complex until 7pm, but they also offer delicious charcuterie. I'd absolutely visit again anytime I'm back in town to visit the parentals.

What a wonderful place! Stopped in to try some craft cocktails and Whiskey. The environment was welcoming and our bartender was amazing. Look forward to a return visit!

Cozy little place we stopped by on a whim. Didn't know it was here until we passed right by. Great place for crafted-unique cocktails with great bartenders! They work in conjunction with the restaurant a door down-so really good food is available. I had the grilled chicken club sans the bun. Very tasty!! You should check this place out for a cozy, inviting setting to relax with a fancy cocktail or four!

Great drinks and great service. Bartenders are very friendly and knowledgeable. A little on the spendy side but you get what you pay for.

Absolutely DELICIOUS meal. Started with the bang bang shrimp which was unlike any bang bang we've…read moreever had. It was unreal. Sad I didn't get a picture but you must order it!! The steelhead bowl was so good, great portion and satisfying! The citrus steak tacos were also delicious, it comes with two but we ordered 3 and it was plenty. Can't wait to go back asap

I was expecting a different experience from a business that defines itself as "upscale." In all…read morehonesty, that is why I was in no rush to try this business as I tend to enjoy more comfy food, but we have some friends that prefer the upscale life. That being said, service was very good. That's the high point. The WINGS were a disappointment. They were akin to Costco's precooked wings, but these were all about presentation versus good taste. Try not petrifying the meat would be a good start. I had one of the hamburger plates. I really liked the fries. These were well prepared. The hamburger on the other hand was lacking any uniqueness or even quality beef. So if you are one of those people that believes a hamburger should be a culinary experience, this is not the dish you want to get here. Okay, I hate to be the negative Nelly, but the worst part of the upscale experience was the crescendo of noise. It crept up on you as the lunch crowd moved in. It was seriously hard to communicate at your own table. The decor offers little to no sound mitigation. Seriously, consider acoustic tiles. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Prices were fair, given our current economic conditions.

The food was absolutely fantastic. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with a soft, fresh bun that held everything together beautifully. Every bite was delicious. The sweet potato fries stood out as some of the best I've had--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. The ranch was thick, creamy, and so good I ended up dipping everything in it. Portions were generous, the food came out hot, and there wasn't a single thing on the plate I didn't enjoy. It was one of those meals where you're already thinking about what you'll order next time before you've even left. To go with the meal, the beer selection was solid with a nice range of options, from easy-drinking choices to more flavorful craft pours. Everything felt thoughtfully made, and the staff added to the experience by being friendly, attentive, and easygoing without being intrusive. Overall, it's a great local spot with excellent food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.
