Fei Yu
year agoCool vibes and all ocean themed - from the decor to the drink menu. Staff were friendly but you do need to wave them down at the bar to get orders in if you sit at the booths. Came here on a Friday night at 6:30 and didn't have to wait. Bar seats and booths available but the booth benches are a little uncomfy. Food was your typical bar bites, and there were a few beers on tap. But the cocktails are the main event here. The drink selection was wide, creative and featured exotic liquors that you usually don't see - e.g. Brazilian cachaça. All drinks have cute names like Siren's call or Birth of Venus. And all of them were a hit! The recipes are listed on paper with ingredients - if only I'd get these funky ingredients together at home! Will return for more of these cool concoctions.

year agoI’ve been walking by this place for a number of weeks in the morning and always wondered what the vibe was when the sun went down. Or some of you for my generation when the street lights went out. This place is wonderful, super friendly, super local grade 5 amazing drinks and food. This is a must come by. Check it out for yourself. Don’t trust my review

3 years agoComing from D.C. Speakeasy culture, this is the coziest place I've found. They haven't had their grand opening yet and they're already killing the game. Shiloh crafted a mezcal old fashioned and a tequila daiquiri for me. Both drinks were some of the best I've had in Berkeley, so I thank her for the recommendations! I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a good cocktail. This place is great and I will be back soon!

3 years agoCame here because we were early for dinner and had high ratings. It did not disappoint. Apart from the amazing drinks, the bartender was super knowledgeable and told us all about some of her favorite mezcals. We are really into it lately, and we’re happy to find the crazy selection here. Came back after dinner with our friends, and asked for a mocktail cause I had to drive. They put as much, if not more, care into my drink. It looked and tasted amazing! I heard the food is incredible and a little famous online. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much!

4 months agoThis was so fun! Caleb especially was amazing! We have great report and he even gave us a booth! He was so fun to talk to and my friends said the burgers they had were amazing! Overall a great atmosphere, my vodka cran was great, and Caleb gave amazing service. Will be coming back!

year agoTheir drink menu is SO fun! There are honestly so many good selections that you'll want one of each (pls be responsible). The bartenders are friendly, speedy, and artists creating these yummy cocktails. My favorites were Caught in the Riptide and The Baltic Pearl. Their hamburgers looked really good but we just got a side of fries extra crispy. Amazing compliment to the drinks with an ambiance like you're by the water. So looking forward to being back one day!

year agoI found this spot on Google because I really wanted a tasty lunch and drink, but I wanted to try somewhere different. It was about 4 pm when I arrived and it was not packed. All patrons were at the bar, so I sat there as well. The bartender, Hayley, greeted me warmly. They have Happy Hour from 2 pm to 5 pm daily. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger meal and it came with fries. I ordered that from the regular menu. It was $17 (I think) Hayley reccomended the Blackberry margarita when I asked what flavors could she make the marg. Oh.. she also Guava was good too. I ordered that from the Happy Hour menu. It was $10 with $1 extra for the flavor. They make their burgers medium well automatically. They have a special sauce that taste like tikki sauce. I got it in the side because I was unsure if I would like it. However, I wound up putting it on my burger lol. They made my bacon crispy, not burnt. Exactly how I requested for it. The fries were good too. The drink...soooo yummy. I had 2 lol. Hayley was very accomodating, friendly and warm. She is in the pics. I told her that I will come back when she is working, so I can bring my wife because they have $1 oysters and she would love that. Also, I think she would like the overall vibe and tasty drinks. I reccomend this spot for anyone looking for a cute and quaint spot to eat good food and get their libation on. They have a full bar and other food items in their menu for all types of patrons.

3 months agoThey welcomed me in and were very friendly. They were closing but they still gave me a good feeling. Double IPA from Feather Falls was really good. After working a couple of hours in the matrix was this a good closure of the day. Satyam Hridrya Healing.
