I tried the cherry blossom cocktail here last night and needless to say I was impressed. The flavours unfolded from the tip of your tongue to the back of your throat. Had a lovely creamy texture to it which had me going for another. Recommended after a night out during the weekday.

For Aussie standards this is a good cocktail bar, can be improved, too many riff raff and packed in, can do something about crowd control. This place is best on weeknights, some amazing bar staff! Some more effort by management to improve crowd and atnosphere.

I go here all the time, downstairs is your regular alcohol, juice, fruit mixed/blended cocktails. I recommend the Toblerone for a desert or the Red Corvette for something a bit more refreshing. Upstairs is where the really interesting cocktails are try the Ladyboy with chili! This place gets absolutely packed during happy hour Thursday to Sunday so if you don't like crowds avoid it at those times. Other times during the week it's a more intimate experience and the bartenders are happy to take their time and have a chat. Sometimes a cocktail might not be as I'm used to in which case as long as your polite they'll remake it for you, (sometimes people make mistakes). They have a high turnover of staff it seems so this may cause a few of the problems others have written about.

Mediocre and overpriced would be the best ways to describe this bar. To have one bar tender on the upstairs bar on a Saturday night is absurd, especially given how busy the place is. The cocktails were not particularly impressive, given they cost $16 each, tasted watery and wishy-washy. There's a lot better places to go in Newtown than here.

Way too packed and a bit overpriced for how good the cocktails were made, plus it's not the nicest interior ever!

I went here with a friend on a friday night. The drinks are excellent but that's the only thing they had going for them. The atmosphere was really bad. My friend and I were constantly hassled and interrupted by people who had been served way too much alcohol. People were dresses sloppy and there were alot of people who were fresh out of high school and believe it or not they were playing 'leap frog' and screaming on top of their lungs. Their was no security at all and the bar staff were struggling to control people. It was a really bad night and not relaxing at all.

I thought the cocktails were quite expensive, I guess I should have went during happy hour. I went in the afternoon, the place was quite dead. Great drinks though.

A very popular (read: crowded) bar with uni students on account of the 2 for 1 cocktail happy hour. This can be a little off-putting but if you go to the second floor bar there's a guy that makes fantastic and delicious cocktail creations that are definitely more interesting than Long Island Iced Teas. His technique is fascinating to watch too!

Great value drinks, good service and fantastic setting which is perfect for catching up with friends. The menu has a strong focus on sugary and syrupy cocktails though.

If you can fight your way to the bar the service is prompt but impersonal, the cocktails are delicious and great value during happy hour! This is an awesome place to grab an after-movie drink with friends. Try the Red Corvettes and the Long Island Iced Teas are lethal.
