    Loved the Tajin on the edge of some of the drinks, classic touch for a Mexican themed bar and the Tajin sticks to Tamarind syrup. The crowd was younger overall, some older couples sprinkled around. We sat at the bar and enjoyed conversing with the bartender. January 2025 it was announced. They made the short list for the James Beard award, Best Bar. Big bar if you want to pull up, some big booths and a sofa lounge area in the back for cozy seating and conversing. They had speakers for live music near the front entry doors. No live music when we were there early evening.

    I think this may be my favorite cocktail bar in Birmingham. I have only been twice so far but both times I was blown away by the drinks we ordered. The service both times was perfect. The atmosphere is so calming. We even brought our books oneday and it was nice just drinking and reading a bit.

    This place is a total gem chic, welcoming, and full of good energy. I was in Birmingham for the evening and was so happy I found it. The cocktails were spot-on, and the overall service was exceptional. Big shout-out to Emily, Logan, and Jose for making the experience even better. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!
