Mace is the kind of bar where every drink feels like it was built with care. The menu offers creative cocktails that actually work — not just interesting on paper. The paprika and cardamom drinks are bold but balanced, and happy hour prices make them easy to try. The space is small but well laid out, with booths and bar seating that keep things moving. Service is quick and the vibe is friendly, even when it's busy. The food pairs nicely with the drinks and never feels like an afterthought. It’s a smart choice for anyone who wants something beyond the usual cocktails. Easy to enjoy, easy to recommend, and easy to come back to.
