We went on a Wednesday night so it was quiet overall. Despite that our party had a fabulous time chatting with Andras the bartender. We had 6 cocktails and 5 different ones. Each cocktail had a fresh zing to it. Our favourite was the Sandia Soltice which we ended up ordering twice because it was that good and boozy. It was happy hour sp we got to partake in delightful h'orderves from George and other snacks that we ordered. Fun time and great venue.
