Botanica is like that quiet classmate sitting in the peripheral of your class. You don't notice them much, but one day, you got to chat with them and realized that they are really interesting and you just can't believe that all this while they have...Read More

A very interesting cocktail lounge on University. They serve an eclectic and imaginative range of drinks, from gin with elderflower, rosemary, and cucumber to bourbon with palo santo and wild sage tinctures. They also have an equally inventive small plates menu—I tried the trumpet musubi...Read More

Fantastic cocktail location! I did the NYE experience which had some great cocktails and amazing tasting menu for the night. The vibe in this place puts it above the rest and it's small so it feels inclusive. Definitely check it out, I'll be back!

This place is the newest little neighborhood gem. It’s woman-owned and operated, both behind the bar and in the kitchen. The cocktail menu, which focuses on gin and genever, is playful, inventive, elegant, and delicious. The food is all small plates— don’t come here for...Read More

This is a gin bar, but they have options for all the other liquors as well. The food is tapas style, with an emphasis on Asian cuisine like sushi and fried noodles. We got a lot of gin here. Negroni, gin flight, dirty gin martini, etc....Read More

In addition to the cocktails (Heads Will Roll, The Autumn, and the standard Negroni) which were superb, everything from the food, to the decor, ambiance, and service was spot on. Had the Salmon 3 Ways and Polentaballen with Mushrooms and Truffle Honey, both were outstanding....Read More
