We come here to enjoy a drink and asked to sit at the bar. We were told it was reserved. Okay cool. Then people who were at a table move to the bar. We asked why they could sit at the bar and the response is “we reserve the bar for our regulars.” Aka, their friends because they happened to know the bartender. THEN the bartender yelled at the bar back because the door opened and hit a bottle. All I can say is this is our third time here and we will never be back.

Haven't been for years but really enjoyed my last visit. I like the aesthetic and the drinks, supposed to feel like you're transported to an older time. Fun concept. Can't share videos but here are a few photos from 2019. Hopefully they are still doing live music!

Sadly, I have to leave this review at just okay. Long story short: cocktails were okay, food was good, service was less than desirable.The longer story:We arrived and had to track down a host to figure out seating. Of note, the entire bar was reserved so we had little option but to sit in the back room. After seating, it took about 7 minutes to receive a menu and another 10 to get our order taken. Total time from seat to drink was probably about 25 minutes.The cocktails were okay, I had the Okinawa Martini and while it claimed to add various flavors, I couldn't really derive anything from it aside from gin and citrus.Between the wait times and the overall quality of the cocktails, we did not stay beyond one drink.

It's a lovely space with bartenders and servers who really know what they are doing. You can tell they care about the drinks they make. Jazz on Thursday was dope. Prices are unbelievably reasonable. My new standard for a quality cocktail bar.

Nice art decor atmosphere with friendly vibe, great servers and interesting cocktails. Great alternative to the cowboy bars downtown.

I wish I would have taken more pictures in this absolutely amazing spot. It’s sexy and the food and drinks are to die for. Great little spot in Santa Fe.

It was very dark inside, but this place is not meant for a rowdy crowd and instead a nice calm place to enjoy some drinks. The bartender made the BEST drinks for our group of 6. Each of our drinks was perfection and to me, that is not common. Our server was so nice and sweet. Very nice place.

Great cocktail bar! The bartender is always very helpful and kind, we will always be back to this great place. Love the rotating menu too, the ingredients are always fresh!

Nice place. Dark like a good jazz bar should be. Drinks were excellent. Cool ceiling fan!

Stunning cocktails, great staff. We opened the place up one afternoon and had a great afternoon working through their menu.
