  Great selection of whiskey (although some are definitely over priced). Happy hour is pretty generous though. Lasting from 5:30-7:00 with a lot of items from the menu half off. The skirt steak is a must have along with the lychee mermaid. There is also a very nice VIP space on the second floor where you can enjoy your purchased whiskey bottle.

  If you're a whiskey enthusiastic, you will love this place. It seems that you can eat really good Japanese food here, but I've ended up here for the whiskey. This lounge was suggested to me when I said I like drinking whiskey. Well, you're in for a treat. The moment you step in this establishment, it's the golden glow that comes from the whiskey wall at the bar. The first floor is definitely the lounge area, but on the second floor there is the dining area. A quick glance at the menu, I saw the prices were fair. But again, I didn't eat here, so it's your own risk. When arrived at the bar, I took five minutes for me to try recognize as much whiskeys as I could, but then the barman reached me the menu. Well, I though it was the menu, but it was the whiskey list. Fun fact: the whiskey list is bigger than the eating menu. I can, of course, describe how my evening went, but I will let out the details. You can take a world trip through the whiskey list, because everywhere they make whiskey, this lounge has it. Did already mention the vinyl mixer? There was a DJ with mix booth with only Blues and Jazz vinyl. This place is just perfect.

  Amazing whiskey selection and goes surprisingly well with the dining menu. Definitely try "Torch my belly", you will not regret an evening here!

  Brilliant little whiskey and sushi bar. Easy 5 stars for great cocktails, delicious food and an awesome atmosphere (and music). Very cool. Didn't know what I was doing with whisky selection but the waitress was really helpful. Whiskey menu looked like a phone book. They served me an amazing rye old fashioned. Sushi was super fresh and everything else was super tasty. 👌

  Excellent whiskey tasting experience! The bartender, Anthony, was very knowledgeable and friendly. They do not have set flights, so you can build your own. I tried the port cask Kavalan and two local whiskeys. Great place for a whiskey tasting, date night, or night out with friends.
