    Great service for my wife’s birthday. The chocolate pairing experience with cocktails was amazing. History given by the owner of the chocolatier and bar concept was in depth and well appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone for a special night out!

    My guests and I were thoroughly impressed with Bar Moon! This was the first time visiting this place and I can definitely say it won’t be my last. From the front door man, to the various servers who took care of us, answered our questions and brought us our drinks, each one of them was extremely professional and friendly! Love, love, love the decor and ambience!!! I can’t wait to go back! :)
