   Very cool speakeasy inside the Irvine Marriott. Small, intimate, cocktails were very well made! Fun spot for a nightcap but need reservations. Thankful they validate for parking!

   The experience was one for the books. Not only were the drinks amazing & the theme, but the ambience and energy of the mixologist was phenomenal. We were able to get a same day reservation and it was the greatest ending to our night. Definitely will return.

   Great service and the ambiance was perfect. We had their cold chocolate which was a popular drink that night and it was spot on. We also had a smoked old fashioned which was really good. Overall this is an excellent choice for a date night.

   A surprising great place inside the lobby of the Irvine Marriott. A little hard to find since it’s behind the restaurant

   My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by YNK. We decided to look for new places to grab a good drink since our regular spot changed their staff and drink menu. YNK completely blew my expectations out of the water. I ordered the Smoke & Mirrors 3 times! Will be back. Shout out to Ben and Sean for being so friendly and pleasant to be around.

   A really lovely experience. A hidden gem in a place as sanitized as Irvine. Have been here several times in my time in OC and had to make sure to go back one last time. Great vibes and lovely bar service. These guys really know their craft.
