We went here on a whim after going to a friend’s wedding shower at Pepper place and we were so glad that we decided to stay out! This bar is super cute and has a great vibe. The drink menu routinely rotates to be themed around a different part of the world. When we went, the theme was “Arabian Nights” and the drinks we had were amazing. We were tempted to get something to eat from their food truck, but after just having eaten at the shower we decided against it. We WILL be back to try drinks from the next menu and to try their food! Don’t skip out on this trendy and gay-friendly new bar!

Great alcoholic drinks and non-alcoholic. The service is extremely tentative. I've always have a good time here.

Very nice place to relax and have cocktails! We've been there twice in the last 2 weeks. $30-$40 total for drinks (2 people).The food truck is a nice touch, too. Bartender John is engaging & nice to talk to. Parked near door. We will be repeat customers, for sure.

My bestie and I stopped by Continental Drift during the holidays and had a blast. The inside decor is cool and swanky, with colored lighting and plenty of couches to lounge on. The cocktail menu is so fun! Lots of different flavor combinations to explore. Our server was also very patient and gave great suggestions for drinks. I can't remember the names of what we chose but they were delish. We also went out to the Drift Kitchen food truck and OH MY GOODNESS... it is so good! We got wings, deviled eggs, and brussle sprouts. Everything was shareable, which is great for social outings. Their menu rotates through different cuisines every few months so they can be your go-to spot for taking your tastebuds on a tour around the world.

It’s like a time warp with a nerd style. And they have a fabulous menu for drinks that I can highly recommend. I will say it is a bit on the super chill side. Kinda boring but if you go during the weekend it’s a lot of fun. I would like it if they had a bit of more entertainment options. But past that it’s a good place to go after you get off work and want a nice quick drink.

Miami cocktails, lofi beats, insane food truck, friendly service. We are sitting in a pink wrap around booth. THIS is where you bring a first date. Music is perfect volume to talk and lighting makes you look better ?

I was walking back to me car after a concert at iron city and the smell drew me in. Fantastic service, incredibly nice staff, and the food is amazing! I had the falafel sub and my friend had the smash burger. We both were blown away by how amazing the food was! I can not wait to come back and bring more people with me!

Really fun 80's vibe with chill music selection and retro TV playing behind the bar. The cocktail selection is massive with a no and low proof section as well, and for those that don't find something they like on the menu, there are knowledgeable folks behind the bar. The seasonal menu series they do where they curate flavors from certain regions of the world is amazingly creative, concocting spectacular new flavor combinations for their cocktails. Highly recommended for the seasoned cocktail enthusiast and definitely recommended for the casual drinker as well. Cheers

first time visiting and it was honestly a vibe. there was only 1 bartender/server when i visited but he was really nice and attentive, and he also did an excellent job at explaining the concept of this establishment. i had the chance of visiting during the "arabian nights" and tried out 2 different cocktails. my personal favorite was the rebel without a pause. it was the right amount of spicy and reminded me of an amaretto sour. the decor, music and ambiance were really good as well! taking a star away because the kitchen was closed when i visited.
