After a careful review of various customer experiences, it appears that the bar in question receives mixed reviews. The positive remarks are mainly around its interior design and ambiance, which many describe as vintage or calm. Several customers also highlight the friendly staff and bartenders, adding a warm and inviting touch to the bar.

However, the negative comments are primarily about the high drink prices and quality issues, specifically surrounding the cocktails and whiskey. One criticism was the overpricing of a cocktail after modifying its ingredient to Chivas 18, resulting in a higher than expected charge.

Another patron faced a similar issue, citing a load of over 400$ for six glasses of cocktails and whiskey with each drink starting at 40$. This was compared unfavorably to the service provided at a five-star hotel. Another customer who tried the cigars felt the cigars were allegedly bogus and not properly cared for.

Aside from the prices, other customers shared concerns about the environment, specifically the problematic smoke situation, which seemed to cause discomfort due to the lack of effective ventilation. Referring to another occurrence, a customer mentioned the smoky atmosphere remaining for a while even without anyone smoking.

Notably, there are also mentions about the staff needing improvement with their service - one customer was taken aback by their seeming disinterest, observing that they moved back and forth like zombies.
