Great atmosphere! Nice place to have drinks and talk with friends.

What. An. Experience. Please, if it’s a nice day outside, just go and make yourself smile.The atmosphere and theme of the bar id describe as “international conservatory.” It’s airy, open, and situated mostly outdoors with the inside portion (that contains the bar itself) a glass greenhouse.The outdoor patio is filled with plants, pergolas, and paths to explore (yes explore) that lead to discovering unique places to sit. When I found an old secluded rickshaw hidden in a bush, I squealed with glee, and jumped in.During Saturday afternoon it was busy, but I had no problems acquiring drinks or a place to seat. Although, I feel that it could potentially become extremely difficult to find a seat at peak hours. The bar is a massive circle that was adequately staffed, with no real lines and adequate space for people to stand comfortably.Food is not served, but they have creatively incorporated food trucks. Neighborhood location is cool, just north east of downtown, and directly east of the market, which is an easy walk.Oh yeah, the drinks were amazing.

Great drinks in a stellar atmosphere. The landscape design and architecture create the perfect setting for socializing. It’s obvious that a team of very creative and talented people made this happen.My only wish is that they offered coffee on mornings/afternoons (maybe just on Saturday & Sunday). Would be lovely to sit outside with an iced coffee and read a book or relax.

The design of the over all experience was tremendous! I was transported to another city, another time! Absolutely gorgeous! Can’t wait to return!

The coolest bar in Cincinnati! Love the Decor; very creative and eclectic. Unique creative and delicious drinks. Absolutely my favorite bar in Cincinnati.

Such an eclectic quaint spot to gather with friends or meet new people. A couple of the outdoor spaces can be reserved and there is a food truck in the outer corridor. The drink prices are fairly comparable and they even have fancy mocktails.

Nice weather outside? This IS the place to be. Great patio with crazy furnature, enough space to be confortable without 100 people on top of you. Fine fine fine cocktails. Enjoy!

This is the coolest cocktail bar in Cincinnati! Feels like you’ve left town and gone to a trendy spot on the coasts! The decor is awesome and gives you plenty to admire. Cocktails are so good here and they can make you whatever you’d like. Seriously go try this place!

Basically a greenhouse bar, giant plants everywhere. I’ll bring my friends Porter and Abbie here. They’ll love it. Drinks were definitely worth it. I think this is a new favorite of mine when I come down to Cinci.

Technically a 4.5 starts! Stopped here before a late dinner reservation on a Saturday night and thought the atmosphere and the aesthetics in the bar was fantastic. I got the royal chai drink and it was delicious. Two others I went with got the Sunset Boulevardier, they liked it but thought it was just a bit too sweet. Wish they had more room to sit in groups though - they have large floor cushions that a big group had, as well as some chairs paired up around the edges of the main bar area.Overall was a nice and cool new spot to visit with good drinks!
