Crema's Take
“This North Side gem blends craft cocktails with a creative beverage program that extends beyond the typical bar fare—kombucha flights and thoughtfully made drinks like a properly executed whiskey sour keep regulars coming back. The owner-operated vibe creates an immaculate, welcoming atmosphere where the bartenders (Micky included) actually know their craft and take time to chat with guests, making it the kind of place where you'll want to linger with friends for hours. Fair warning: consistency with newer staff can be hit or miss, but when you catch the right crew, this is unquestionably Iowa City's best cocktail destination.”

By far our favorite cocktail bar in the area, a true north side gem! The most immaculate vibes and the staff and ownership are just awesome this is a must go to spot
I love this bar and the owner but after these most recent hires i’ve had horrible experiences. There’s been multiple occasions where I come in and will wait five minutes or more to even be greeted. I work work in food service and can understand the demand and frustration. However, the service I received eight months ago is completely different to the present. there’s a clear difference and urgency based off, who you are when you come into this bar.
Visited for the my first time recently - fantastic spot and drinks! I tried a kombucha and a cocktail, both were very nice. Atmosphere was also lovely. Kind of place that you can gather with friends to hang or just read a book. Nice for a cold night. Note they also have games. Staff was also really friendly. I’ll be back!
Hands down the best cocktail bar in Iowa City. Honestly, I think these guys were the only bar I visited who could actually make a proper whiskey sour. The bar tenders are great (Micky is a hilarious) and they keep a really chill vibe into the night. Overall great place in a great location serving even better drinks.
This was a cool place. The bartender (owner) was really friendly and gave a good overview of the place. You can get flights of four. The kombucha was refreshing and delicious.
