"My favourite spot to get a haircut, been coming here for years. Very friendly and organized staff. I did not come here for a year and 7 months due to the pandemic, so during my most recent visit last week, I felt very safe as my regular barber, Mr. Ray, was in a full PPE suit and proper cleanliness protocols were observed. 5 stars!"

"Great for laid back live music. The stage area really pops with the giant illuminated clock behind it. Staff were friendly. Cocktail prices were on the higher end but were very good"

"What my friends and I consider as our second home. If you want to have night out away from the crazy party crowds and just a chill, sit-down vibe but still with that upmh of a night out atmosphere, this is the place for you. Not to mention, you can have your haircuts and beards shaved right before your chill night since this is a speakeasy that happens to have a barber's place before you get to enter the bar itself. Easy to find tho!"

"My son is a loyal Felipe and Sons client. Thirsty Barber is one of its branches. We visit this branch for the haircut and the bar. A hidden or not-so-secret-anymore bar can be accessed behind a bookcase in the barbershop. We love the concept! The food and service in here, just like the service you get in the barber shop, are signed with utmost quality. Parking is available at the basement of the promenade."
