dont waste your time here. place is overrated, slow service, empty on a wednesday night, vibe sucked, drinks taste like medicine (which funny enough is what they advertise them as LOL)

Vaguely magic-themed bar in a KTown strip mall. Came here on a Saturday night around 9 to grab a quick drink after dinner with 3 other friends and were able to seat ourselves immediately. There are karaoke rooms in the back. There’s high top tables and bar seating available (only indoors). The employees were all friendly. If you write a review on Yelp, you can get a free shot (I didn’t partake in this while I was there unfortunately.We split a flight of elixirs, which were healthy alcoholic shots (that’s the best way to describe them). There were 6 different shots with an oz of each alcohol in each vial. The garlic was the worst one for me, as it was drinking hot garlic juice, and the goji was the best one. It was fun to try weird flavors with friends, but I wouldn’t order a flight for myself. The other cocktails they had looked cute and later on in the night, there was a sparkler situation for a bday celebration happening at the table next to us. Valet parking in the lot or find street parking. Credit cards accepted. They do have a happy hour from 6-9pm Monday through Thursday.

Flip the Applause!! Is like a drink I would love to just take to the beach and relax. Delicious!!!

It's a great little bar that's hidden behind the steer's partially with a lot of great restaurants around there. The concepts that came up with cocktails were great, if you're in the neighborhood I would try them out just to find out what they're all about.

As with any asian community, it is located in a complex of 30 stores squished into two stories with only 10 parking spaces to share between them.The pictures of the business are false and misleading. Just white walls, black stools, and neon lights to look like an art installation.The drinks are average. You can get them anywhere. The test tube drinks are things like ginseng extract and other eastern holistic ingredients.

There was a drunk couple exhibiting an uncomfortable amount of PDA. They hit every corner of that place. I've never seen anyone cover so much ground. If you took a heat map of their movements, it'd have a phallic shape though. The drinks were good so I can't complain.

Second time here first time Was good friendly staff second time I would leave zero stars wasn’t busy they kept looking over never came to our table after waiting over 10 minutes for them to approach our table we just walked out. Wack service on a Monday.

Been here the second time, and this place do not dissapoint, the staff are nice and friendly.Their signature cocktails are phenomenalThey have a karaoke lounge too, I believe $40 an hour, there were 13 of us girls singing our hearts content, it was super fun.Definitely my go to karaoke/bar in ktown.

Fun place with cute drinks and karaoke in the back

This hidden gem is a great spot for a drink with friends. Their drinks are really interesting. I ordered the Nabi, which surprisingly came with a vile of liquid glitter! Very tasty. They also have a happy hour that lasts till 9pm. Definitely going back ?
