"718 has been recently transformed! They serve really delicious cocktails, the bartenders there are talented! It’s located in a central location, great for casual drinks and live music for dancing on any night of the week!"

"Great asian-inspired cocktails. Good vibes and our bartender was very friendly, and did a great job recommending drinks for us. Lots of interesting flavors pairings. We stopped by before dinner on a Saturday, and it wasn't too crowded."

"Ohhhh the bad reviews are from Cathay House (RIP). That said, I didn’t even know going in — I had only heard great things — and the place exceeded even those expectations! The drinks are SO good, and unique/use Asian flavors in a wonderful way. We had the punch bowl (came in a legit old school punch bowl, with glasses), smoked umamis (my fave here!) and the hot and sour (really good!). Haven’t been wowed by such good drinks in awhile, and I am not infrequently getting cocktails. The decor is nice and the place is spacious. We arrived with a fairly large group at 8pm on a Friday once, and managed to get a comfy seating area in the middle. The staff was nice enough to produce plates and a knife for a birthday cake we brought, too. Great experience, great drinks, great space! Come here, but make sure there’s still enough room for me when I show up. Just one thing - this is definitely not a speakeasy per se; very visible outside with signage, but that’s ok, it’s easy to find."

"Esthetically pleasing new spot in town with an intriguing cocktail list. Of course I put on my list to try and it definitely didn’t disappoint. From the heartwarming service Mohammed provided as our talented bartender, to his flexibility and accommodation as we showed up 20 minutes before closing. Preparation of cocktails is fun to watch and presentation was fancy! We will return, probably on the weekend which we heard is more vibrant."

"Great new bar with delicious Asian inspired cocktails. Really enjoyed chatting with the owner. Make sure to grab a booth seat by the windows to see the lanterns hanging outside."
