I Know The Owner

Loved this spot! It was lively and loud! Perfect place to get you pumped up and ready for a night out. Seemed to have a great buzz. The drinks were excellent. The staff were also friendly and helpful. Great mix of house music blasting! Might not be great for a first date or if your trying to have a quiet engaged conversation.

Atmosphere 9/10 Really cool Ambiente and design inside. Dogs allowed! Service 8/10 Cool bartenders - but nothing over the top. Takes a bit long to get the drinks Drinks 9/10 Good cocktails. Interesting twists like a chocolate Negroni. Won’t be my fav cocktails though… Price 6/10 >$20 per drink after tax is just a little much Overall cool new spot to take out a date.

I don’t believe I’ve ever given 5 stars in food, service, and atmosphere! IKTO excelled in all 5 areas easily. My only gripe is the parking; however, this is the Heights, so parking is rarely simple. There is plenty of easily accessible street parking if the spots in the lot allocated to the bar are not full. If you’re coming from 610 and Yale, your GPS will tell you to turn left onto Yale, right onto 11th, and then left when you head the restaurant. It is physically impossible to turn left due to the concrete barriers so you can just cross over Shepherd at the light and bust a u-turn to approach from the other way. More simple than my description is saying. As soon as you walk into the bar, you are greeted with beautiful scenery. There are flowers hanging from the ceiling, a very spacious bar, nice cushy bar stools, and an amazing selection of hard liquor. I came with 2 of my girlfriends on Tuesday, August 29th, for happy hour. Happy hour is from 4 pm to 6 pm. Drinks are 50% off. When I tell you we tried so many drinks and at least 4 of the happy hour food selections!!!!! There was not one single drink or food item we did not like. The drinks are top notch. Typically happy hour drinks can tend to be pretty mainstream and boring. These are nowhere near mainstream or boring! Every detail from the mix, the pour, the presentation, and taste was amazing. The happy hour food selections are not like typical happy hour food. You won’t find wings or pizza here and I love that for us! We had a seafood tamale, oysters, a seafood dip with crackers, and my favorite, the pork belly with guacamole! The best part was the pricing! So reasonable for the portions and taste! We will be coming back! We met the owner who was very meticulous and friendly. All of the bar staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Very welcoming. We each got a Moscow mule cup as a little parting gift to go. Super cute. Visit this place! You won’t regret it!

Ellie and Taylor made our evening, with Incredible service. Variety of cocktails and freshly made dishes. IKTO has an Amazing Happy Hour 4-6pm! Ridiculous prices, half price cocktails😍

Jacob was amazing and the server Kaya (I’m not sure her name) was so friendly. Went for my birthday and had a great time. We sat at the bar and the service was great and the conversation was fun. 10/10 would recommend.

I recommend the cocktails the tuna tostada and the yuca chips They are sooo good. Also if you like chicharrón, order their guacamole, it comes with 2 kinds. It's sooo good. And if you need a cocktail ask Dani or Carla. They will make you something amazing

New favorite bar! We drove an hour to check this place out and was definitely worth the drive! As soon as we walked in I saw the house made mixers I knew we were in good hands! The drinks were excellent!!! Carla was bartending and she was on TOP. OF. IT!!! She had fantastic recommendations, her service was 10/10, but my favorite part was that she made sure our DD had just as great of an experience as we did. When we took birthday shots, she made sure to include a non alcoholic sho and the mocktails were so good we wound up ordering some of those with alcohol!!. The atmosphere was great, liquor selection was broad, the whole place was very clean, overall it’s was a great experience!!! 10/10 would recommend!!!

Met by a couple of super talented bartenders ( Jake & Raymond) who made me feel like I was at my local home bar. They had the game on so after a long day I was glad to find a spot that I could sit back and decompress for a minute. I really enjoyed IKTO and will keep them in rotation the next time I’m in town - thanks you guys have a really great spot!

This place looks nothing like you think it would, the outside is very deceitful. The ambiance was so chill and the details from the gold metal straws, the wallpaper, ceiling, and the velvet green and gold trim chairs were so beautiful and classy. It was my 1st time and I will return. Certain drinks are pricy though, but tasted great!

Came here the first time and I could not find it, had to drive around once. Parking can be difficult during peak hours. The place was cozy and cute. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Prompt service and attentive. We sat outside and it was great!. We came at an off-peak hours and it was relaxing. The drink prices were very reasonable. Appetizers were delicious and reasonably priced. I really liked this place, good first impression for a cozy bar.

Stopped by after an early dinner on a Wednesday, so it was pretty quiet and chill. Got to chat quite a bit with our bartender Jake, his boss Daniel, and even met the owner, so I can saw we know the owner 😀. Yucca fries and tostones were great snacks, along with tasty cocktails (Pop Star, Fluffy Bourbon Sour, and Owner's Side Car. Parking was easy, though again, it was midweek so I'd imagine tougher on weekends. Will be back!

IKTO Bar is a whole vibe. This is a sophisticated craft bar that understands quality, atmosphere, and intention. The drinks are beautifully crafted, balanced, and full of flavor—not your average cocktails at all. If you go, ask for Mal. Period. He is an absolute magician behind the bar. Every cocktail he makes is top-notch, creative, and made with care. You can tell he knows his craft and takes pride in it. This is the kind of place you come to unwind, feel elevated, and enjoy a grown, refined experience. I’ll definitely be back.

Malachi was such a great bartender!! I don’t drink but he made me a great mocktail!! Who would have thought! Food was delicious ! Seasoned wonderfully! I highly recommend this place. Go see Malachi! One of greatest bartenders!

Cute little corner cocktail bar!! Met up with a friend on Saturday night for some drinks!! cocktails were amazing I got the Asian pear Martini and my friend got the hot and crazy! And the drinks were amazing. We came at a time when everyone was siting at the bar and we were the only ones at a table. Food and service was fast

The summer salad and the blue crab artichoke dip is a must! The bun is so soft and fluffy, crispy on the outside. The salad is super refreshing with the cantaloupe. This place gets super crowded fast so I recommend going early.

Visited during their Christmas pop-up, and the decorations were super cute and festive. Our server was kind and attentive, but the wait for the drink was much longer than expected. The cocktail itself was just okay.

Scan the QR code and a lengthy array of cocktails and bites to choose from. They’ve pretty much got something to accommodate any type of person. The bartenders are friendly, and the atmosphere is comfortable. They’ve got table service for larger groups, and plenty of seating in general. Parking spots are limited, but there’s street parking. Overall, I liked my experience enough to continue coming back.

Cant comment on the food served here we had just eaten at Loro. Beautiful bar n nice friendly bartender. There was like no one here on a friday night at 9 pm. July 11th 2025 Only 3 other tables the hour n half we were there. We understand why... your drink prices are too much. So much that you lose a star.

The ambiance is attractive and the bar is opulent. The tables are very small and you need to put two of them together to have comfortable room for 4 people. The wait staff was very sweet and took care of us without any issues. I was not impressed with the seafood empanadas. Mushrooms and cheese empanada was the best choice. I felt their cocktails were above average but priced a little high.

Someone was double parked in front of the bar when we got there. I asked the bartender if he was able to ask around and politely ask the person to move into one spot. He said he couldn’t do anything about it. There is very limited parking at this bar. He was also on his phone most of the time. Only gave three stars for service because the other bartender was super polite and very helpful. Food and drinks are so good!
