Dear 'Jerry' Tse-Wei Chen, So you posted THREE reviews for our establishment under THREE different emails but with the SAME name?!? Let me understand this correctly, you showed up in shorts and you knew in advance that our establishment has the same dress code (no shorts, no flip flop and no sandals for men) for over 10 years which we posted RIGHT HERE on Google but you showed up in shorts anyway (!) You then proceeded to tell us that since our business is located in Chinatown and you're a Taiwanese, therefore you "should be allowed" to come in. Did I sum it all up correctly? LOL! Again, you’re the first imbecile ever to post THREE different reviews under the SAME name which only means ONE thing…your behind must be really hurting:(

This is the worst bar I have ever been. The staffs English is poor, with poor attitude.
Dear Mr. Averin, Thank you so much for your feedback from behind the firewall and we are going to disregard your opinion since your friends from Tennessee & Wisconsin did warn us that you’re a pain to deal with. Not to go off topic here but for whatever it worth, I’m a huge admirer of your rattail haircut. It really brought out that beautiful blue eyes of yours. It just have that Alberta’s flavor that we don’t find here in the US. In closing, let’s get some facts straight here... 1. Our policy for large party is clearly stated on the menu. 2. I don’t know what they do in Canada but down here in the US, we have to pay rent so if you think it’s okay for a large party to come into a restaurant or bar and take up one of the bigger table we have then order just 1 or 2 drinks for the entire table then you’re just simply stupid. 3. You sir walked up to the bar on your own and tried to order ONE shot of whiskey for yourself and was told that since your group is sitting at a table, you must order from a server. You then told the bartender you just want to pay for your own drink and got upset when you were told that you couldn’t do so. It’s quiet obvious that you were trying to pull a cheap move on your friends and I don’t know what they called it up in Canada but down here in the US, we have a name for people like you and it’s “cheap a*shole” 4. You’ve stated that “the only lighting in the room is candles” is the funniest thing you wrote in the entire “review” in my opinion🤣 Anyone and everyone that has been to been to our establishment will tell you that is a complete lie, just like your entire “review”. You’re a spoiled child that didn’t get his way so you decided to react like an a*shole, a “cheap a*shole” if I may add. Please send my best to the people of Edmonton, Canada.

Average drinks that are over priced. Service that is average at best. Make a point of not emphasizing a 20% gratuity for parties of 5 or more. Addendum: I think it is quite ironic (and a reflection of the character of the establishment owner) that he chooses to attack my personal appearance rather than address any of my feedback. I actually respectfully expressed my concerns to the owner on my out and not "from the firewall". Some additional facts: -the drinks are $16-20 per drink with a 1 drink minimum per person so you may not want to come here with friends who don't drink. -we were sitting at our table for about 20 minutes without having a server help us after which I went up to the bar tender to ask to be served (you cannot order drinks at the bar yourself). -the only lighting in the room is from candles so reading the fine print on the menu indicating an automatic gratuity is challenging.
-A 20% tip is automatically added to your bill -You have to have a scannable QR code to enter -Cash only (drinks in the $15-18 range) - Great place to be anonymous/hide from antivaxxers [lol] because there's no photo or video allowed -Very unique drinks -Dark speakeasy atmosphere
Have been to many cocktail places all around the globe but this one easily rates in the top 5. A spectacular ambiance with excellent music and cocktails. The owner is very entertaining, attentive and caring! Don't forget to bring your ID and your original COVID19 vaccination card!
Dear Oskar with a “K” and Diana Cuesta of Chicago, Illinois, 1. You two were told that we had a full house so you have to wait for a table to open up. 2. You two decided to "take a walk around" Chinatown. 3. Within 10 minutes, a two-top table opened up and I gave it to a lovely African-American couple that was waiting by the door. 4. You two came back to the gate as this couple was walking in and I told you that you should have wait by the gate. 5. You (Oskar with a "K") then told me that may be I "don't like white people". LOL! A quick search on Google would show that you're from a Hispanic background but hey, do whatever turn you on, Oskar with a “K”. 6. Yes, it’s true that I refused to engage with you after that comment because I don’t play well with racists or any kind of racism, Oskar with a “K”.

Guy at the door got extremely upset that we rang the bell 2 times. We did that because we didn't hear the ring after the first time, as there seems to be a lag, and we apologized and tried to be very polite. He wouldn't have it and got visibly upset. Then he let another couple in ahead of us. 2 mins later, he let in a group of 6. If you wanna go in, I suggest you make absolutely sure to only ring once! ________ Update - was reading through his replies to some other bad reviews and this guy legit cracks me up! Check them out to get some chuckles (#Karen reply is HILARIOUS). Anyways, hoping those don't claim falsehoods (point 5 onwards on his reply to my review are absolutely made up). Sad that creativity ran short, and disappointing that lies were the next best resource. Hopefully he gives it another shot, as this guy spends some real energy trying to clean up his reviews! Maybe easier to just be nice upfront, but I guess it's part of the charm. Proud hispanic and proud K bearer (I guess? Lol)
