    The atmosphere is very cool, and low light. It is very small though so it doesn’t not feel as intimate because you can literally see everyone. The drinks were really cool and the staff were very friendly!

    The Study was a cute bar with themed drinks. Our server Ben was knowledgeable and made great recommendations for cocktails and told us the history of the bar. A bit pricey but worth the experience.

    Amazing cocktails. I had a smoked old fashion and I could taste the smokiness up until the last drop.

    If you’re going to be a pretentious waiter and bartender then at the very least make a decent martini 🫩

    Overall, a wonderful experience and we'll definitely be back. John, one of the mixologists, was knowledgeable, professional and interested in learning a new drink my partner introduced him to -- even made one for us. We didn't have any food other than the small bowl of nuts (which were quite good), but it seemed we should have been offered a refill of nuts when we ordered second drinks. The drinks are pricey with cute names/themes, but this is a serious bar for people who take their cocktails seriously. We loved it!

    Great place. Kind of small but it's a great environment for a date or a relaxed time with friends
