    Double Shot Lemon Drop
    Nicole F.

    Wow! The mixologist KILLED it with this one. I typically get double cosmopolitans and wince at the strength of it lol. So I was expecting that with this, but instead the double lemon drop martini was sweet and perfectly balanced. Couldn't even tell there were 2 shots in it and the sugar rim was super yummy. Interesting vibes with the decor and loved the house music playing as well.

    Great atmosphere and friendly service. Oh yeah and the beverages were yummy. I would highly recommend you stopping by whilst in the area.

    Interesting drinks, old fashioned tv guide menu. Monthly/annual events. Worth checking out.

    Cutest Christmas Bar I have ever see! The decor was perfection and the drinks were decent. The service was a little slow and it wasn't even that busy when we arrived. But I definitely would give it another shot.

    I had the opportunity to visit for their Christmas time special. I enjoyed the sugar cookie martini. Bar is beautifully decorated and very festive. I would definitely recommend it. It's much better than those commercialized Christmas pop-up bars. Service was friendly. This is a great choice when in Sanford.

    We stopped in before attending a show at Theater West End, it was the start of the holiday season so the bar is decked out for Christmas! The decorations are amazing, such a fun and cozy atmosphere! I love that you can pretty much walk in anytime, no reservations needed. We had a couple of dirty martinis as well as an espresso martini and one of the special holiday drinks. Great cocktails, reasonable prices and overall a fun night to get in the holiday spirit.

    We met the owner. He was wonderful. I love supporting a local business. He's very particular about his selections in the bar. I love a craft cocktail and the menu has a large selection plus their featured cocktails. They do drag events. The owner also creates the art featured in the bar (he was telling us of his future plans and that they would be selling the current ones at the next event) Bathrooms were beautifully decorated. Overall a great bar. Would 1000/10 recommend. I got the cartel experience, which is perfect for social media. Everyone was commenting on it.

    I highly recommend coming during Christmas time! It's very well decorated and even smells like Christmas! The holiday cocktails were all amazing and reasonably priced ($12-16). There was live music as well on Saturday night.

    Heyyyyyyyyyy you guyyyyyyys!! This place is so cute inside, no signage out front but if you find this on the map it's time to come step inside. It's a whole vibe. You don't find many of these in Sanford but this is a true gem. Come check it out friends you have to give them a try. Support local businesses!! Cheers

    Cute little place. Has the "speakeasy vibes". Nice dark room with beautiful seats. There's several tables and a bar area to sit. We sat towards the back cause we were a rather large group of 6. In the back there is a stage area so looks like they might have performances as well. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and helpful! She made some great drink recommendations based off the kinds of spirits we usually drink. All her recommendations were on point! When we got our drinks, they were perfect, I had the aviation (because its a favorite that is hard to find on menus). It was the perfect blend of gin and Violette. I loved every sip of it. Prices are great and the drinks are strong! Great place to come bar hopping. There's lots of bars in the area and this one is definitely a must!

    When people describe their favorite bar, this is what my mind goes to. Located in a heart of downtown Sanford this gem is unique. The Customer Service is absolutely phenomenal as where the drinks everything is handcrafted and unique. The selection is impressive and unique. This is not the place to go and order a jack and Coke but to tell your friendly bartender what you're in the mood love and let them take the wheel. The low lights in candle (electric) make this the perfect date night spot. This is very adult friendly and that's totally different crowd than the typical Sanford first Street lounge or West End . I look forward to many more visits.

    This place has great potential and I wish it the best. We really enjoyed the drinks here. They had some fun creative drinks! The service was excellent! I went for my birthday in November and the bartender made me a special drink. The Ichibod Crane Mule. It was the best mule I have ever had! I'll admit, I have had a few! Ha! That was very special and tasty! This place had a cool vibe to it. A place where you want to go to hang out! They have special events, so stayed tuned!

    Be careful they add $$ to tips. I had a $28 including tip but they submitted it as $38 to my bank. I keep receipts just for that kind of BS.

    Such a hidden gem! My husband and I decided to try a little bit of everything on the menu and…read morehonestly, not a single thing disappointed. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and you can tell there's real thought put into the food and presentation. We ended up staying for well over two hours just enjoying the whole experience -- the vibes, the music, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere were just so good. It felt cozy, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. The drinks were beautifully made and paired perfectly with the food, and the staff and crowd made the space feel fun and relaxed. It's one of those places you randomly find and then immediately want to gatekeep (but also tell everyone about). Truly such a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!

    Came here after a night of activities in Sanford. The place is usually packed, but we were able to…read moreget a table for two, luckily. The ambiance is about half of what this place is all about. It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar. Dark and stormy tiki bar vibes. The service was super friendly, and the food and bev came out very timely. The drinks were great, and they had a really nice mocktail menu. You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.

I ordered an espresso martini from one bartender. Another randomly made it without confirming, then absolutely spiraled when I asked about my drink. Instead of clearing it up, he chose public humiliation berating and talking down to me at the bar like I'd committed some unforgivable crime. Full medieval town-shaming energy. Shame bell not included. What were they busy doing instead of their jobs? Flirting with freshly-21 customers and openly staring at their chests. If you weren't new, young, or feeding their ego, you were invisible or worse, a target. Two grown adults behind a bar acting like sloppy, insecure children with alcohol and an attitude problem. No class. No taste. No professionalism. Just embarrassing behavior that would get you fired anywhere that actually cared about standards. Save your money, skip the humiliation, and go literally anywhere else.

The Acoustics in the place is absolutely fabulous.

Standing only, all concrete in the hangar, one bar, lots of waiting. The bathrooms are cleanish and highly functional, no flushing issues, not disgusting, multiple women's stalls. For our concert, the venue set up a Coleman cooler of water and small free water cups by the entry, but they did not make an effort to refill the water jug, so we got quite dehydrated and unhappy halfway through. Liquid death cans and cups of ice can be purchased for about the same cost as alcohol at the bar. Nutrl was only $6 and change, I was thrilled! The sound quality was EXCEPTIONAL! Kudos and a half to Tuffy's for excellent balance and not blowing our eardrums. The light show, meh, too many dark blends, too moody and could barely see the band. When most lit up, I enjoyed seeing the stage. The place got very crowded, very quickly. They need crowd control and to not overpack concert goers like sardines. The outdoor bierhall vibe was chill but was basically a refuge for chainsmokers :( Would def go back, but have clear expectations, multiple water cans in pockets, and very very supportive shoes for tha concrete floor.
