Drinks are fantastic. The atmosphere is cosy. The bar staff know their drinks. They make a great daiquiri. It's definitely a classy place to grab some drinks. Good to go any day of the week.
SUCH a great vibe! Amazing music, drinks were complex and very good, and the bar itself is just pretty. Also appreciate the coat check. Would highly recommend.
This place has a quirky, 70's glam feel to it, and strikes a perfect balance of kitsch without being gimmicky. The drinks are meticulously made, and the bartenders are very knowledgeable and quick with recommendations upon request. The ambience is dark and intimate, and while the font of the bar offers small tables and lounge chairs, the deep booths towards the back create a sense that the people you're with are more important than being seen. I'll definitely be back.
Great vibes and the drinks were good. It does get packed and there is limited seating, especially at the bar.
Above Slippery Slope, you have to enter through said bar and go up the stairs inside. The bar has deliciously comfortable bucket seats. Yes, at the bar. The drinks are good and the service was great. Also, bathrooms and a photo booth on this floor, which are both important to me.
ok the garnishes are actually very good here
Such a cool place! Love how the bar seats are low. I just think it’s weird you have to go through slipper slope to get to it. But heavy feather is such a must to go to!
Cozy, intimate, and incredibly well decorated interior. The vibe is so great. The staff are also super friendly and the drinks are phenomenal. Best old fashioned in the city
