“Fantastic. They know how to mix a drink, I’ll say! Vibe was perfect ambience; not too noisy. Friendly AND talented staff. I ordered a boulevardier and asked for advice on a bourbon. They were spot on 🩷”
“Great place for innovative craft cocktails. Signature selections appear to change quarterly. Decent selection of bar bites. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Located in a brick building, so it can sometimes be hard to hear. Definitely recommended.”
“Fogbird and I are no strangers, as it's a typical stomping ground for my coworkers and I for happy hour (which is Monday-Friday from 4-6 pm, as of 4/1/25). I love the casual vibes, yummy drinks, and reasonable prices! This is definitely a great stop on a warm spring/summer day with outdoor seating, or just grab something at the bar on more rainy days. You can never go wrong with the Paloma and fries after work. This location, though roomy, is definitely more appropriate for smaller groups. Keep in mind that there is only 1 bathroom! I will definitely be back here. Service: 5/5 Food/Drinks: 4/5 Price: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5”
“Been meaning to visit, but always seemed to be too short on time to enjoy it, finally had a chance to drop in yesterday and it was definitely worth it. To start, the renovation from the prior establishment is fantastic. It's so bright and well appointed, if you'd been here before, you'd never believe it's the same place. Secondly, the staff were incredibly friendly, answered all our questions, and made some great suggestions for those who weren't super familiar with the things on the menu and how they might taste. Thirdly, the drinks themselves were excellent. Even if you get one that isn't quite to your taste, it's easy to appreciate the care that went into crafting it, and the presentation. That being said though, all the drinks we had were excellent, so I look forward to working through the menu over time and enjoying the rest. Well worth dropping by if you have the time to enjoy the drinks (and snacks)!”
“Around 8 PM on May 20th, my friend and I came into this bar and were seated first. A little later, a group of four sat next to us. The staff completely ignored us — they gave menus to the table next to us, poured them water, and even took their order first. Throughout the entire time, not a single staff member checked on us or spoke to us once. It was a very disappointing experience.”
