Where History and Craft Cocktails Meet

Our drink menu is a flavorful journey through timeless classics and island-inspired creations. From the bold Manhattan and smooth Sazerac to local favorites like the Fly Navy Grog and Espresso Martini, there’s something for every taste. Feeling tropical? Try the refreshing Lavender Haze or a crisp Aperol Spritz to soak in the island spirit.

Not in the mood for alcohol? No problem! We offer a diverse mocktail menu featuring zero-proof spirits, so you can enjoy all the flavor and fun without the buzz. Plus, our signature homemade Red Sangria is a crowd-pleaser—available by the glass or pitcher.

What Are Guests Are Saying

An outstanding experience, and we plan to return with friends...

We decided to try happy hour, and we’re thrilled that we did! I began with a mojito while my husband opted for the Hurricane of 1935; both drinks were expertly crafted, and the snacks we had were fantastic! It was an outstanding experience, and we plan to return with friends.

...the kind of place where you take a sip, smile, and immediately start planning your next visit.

You’ll want time to visit the bar. Their craft cocktails are on another level. Their margaritas and daiquiris feel like the island, but our favorites were the Lavender Haze and the Curry Old Fashioned. The bartenders were friendly and clearly took pride in mixing up something special. It’s the kind of place where you take a sip, smile, and immediately start planning your next visit.

This is a hidden gem and should not be missed.

This bar is a fantastic place to unwind. Refined, quiet, and inviting, it is not like most of the Duvall Street bars. They have a small bites menu and the Key lime pie was fantastic. This is a hidden gem and should not be missed. We also did the Cocktail Experience and had a ball!
