Good drinks in a small but inviting place. Staff makes finding bathroom easy but clunky key is no fun to carry. Will go back but after hours when easier to find a seat.

Walked into this place after reading the sign that it is Sacramento's smallest bar. It lives up to the sign, the bar probably fits about at most 20 people inside, but there's also an outside area too. There was one bartender, who was handling all the drink orders remarkably well. I can't recall her name, but her memory skills were on point! The mixed cocktails were delicious, definitely try the backyard sour. I'm coming back to this place next time I'm downtown.

Small place but great atmosphere. Relaxed yet very nice cocktail bar. Our first time there and the bartender was really great in helping make a drink we'd like

This place is pretty dope and the bartender Ryan is mad dope. Great cocktails but for something special, tell Ryan you were told to ask for something “Hella cute”. You won’t be disappointed. If you are, call him Steve ...

On a recent work trip, I stumbled upon the cutest, coziest, tiniest bar (around 20 seats?) I’ve ever been to, and I love it! For a moment there, I thought I might as well be in a tiny speakeasy bar in NYC! Perfect for a drink or two, after work, happy hour (M-F 5-7p), pre-dinner, & post dinner night cap! The bar program was creative and made me want to try every thing. Wish I had discovered this bar much earlier. Apparently they would change their menus every few months. I had the Jezebel’s Joint which was a mezcal drink. Very well-balanced & flavorful. I highly recommend this bar, if you ever wanted high quality crafty cocktails in Sacramento. The next night, I went back for a different cocktail, Parlay, a pineapple rum with coconut liquor & locally sourced blackberry tincture. So yummy, felt like I was beach side under a cabana Other than spirits, this bar got great selection of whiskies & interesting lesser-known wines too. Got a cutest patio in front. It's a casual cozy friendly neighborhood bar with quality drinks. Situated next to a big garage and there usually street parkings available. Walking distance from many hotels nearby.

Just because this is the smallest bar in California, doesn’t mean their knowledge is equivalent to their size. If anything, they know more than most bars out there. It’s a very personal one-on-one experience with a professional bartender. The second you walk in, the bartender is able to size you up and make a cocktail on target with your palette. I never have been dissatisfied by this place.

It's a tiny bar. Like maybe they seat 20 people? But oh what a great place. If you want craft cocktails and a well curated spirit and wine list, come here. Make friends, get comfortable, have fun.
