    “Y’all. When I tell you this place is superb, I mean it. My partner and I were celebrating our 3 year anniversary and I wanted to surprise him with a unique experience. When I came across Youngblood, I immediately booked it. You should too! From start to finish, the time we spent was curated specifically for us. Our menus had a personalization on it that we could take home! The atmosphere is unlike any other- truly a breathtaking maximalist space that felt like a retreat from the streets. The service here was impeccable, with everyone being incredibly kind, educated on mixology, and willing to converse with you. We’ve had a few number of bad experiences elsewhere and last night reminded us what great service looks (and feels) like. We had some of the best drinks we’ve had in quite some time. The 3 course cocktail tasting menu was fantastic, we loved being able to try new things. Hearing the lore and history behind unique liquors, bitters, and the ingredients was really cool. Dealers choice was amazing, and the dessert cocktail is something we’re still talking about today. They even gave us espresso martini shots with our anniversary printed on it as a treat. How sweet! Definitely going back next time we’re in town. Cannot recommend this place enough!”

    “I went to the Full Circle Saloon and they played this degrading song that said “A lap dance is better when the stripper is crying. Well I find it quite a thrill when she grinds me against her will.” More lyrics from this song say ” I told Bambi I wanted to skin her….. and wear her face like a mask. I have to admit it was even more of a turn-on when I found out she was doin’ me to buy baby formula.” This is a a song appropriate for serial killers and John’s who rape sex workers who are forced by their situation to work against their will. The bartender was angry and irritated with me when I asked to him to please turn it off. Two other female workers were unconcerned. The Female owner Michelle Bailey said she will not be a song N*** and did not offer to do anything about it. Oh She said there is a guy there that likes to play this song when he plays pool. If people there accept this happening I will vote by not going there.”

Jacob, the bartender, was also amazing — he makes some of the best cocktails! I had the Espresso Martini, which you can see in the photos, and it was delicious. The only downside was our initial greeting from the hostess. Unfortunately, she came across as unfriendly and unwelcoming, which made for a disappointing first impression. Since she appears to work Friday and Saturday nights, just be prepared that your experience at the front may not reflect the atmosphere you’ll receive once you’re inside. Thankfully, Emmi and Jacob completely turned the experience around and made the rest of our night absolutely wonderful. Botanica itself is such a great vibe, and because of them, I would definitely come back.”

The bartender (white dude with long hair ??) he has stellar customer service ?? met friendly people and staff! I like how they have a smoking area where you could still hear the music dead on , but they could have dimmer lights in the smoking section coz it bothered my eyes ???? I didn't get to try the food but I look forward to doing so soon!! Security was on it, great communication skills amongst each other and they paid attention all around; I felt safe.. I don't think anyone would mess with ??. Bathroom was very clean and the long mirror A+ ???. I ordered patron and redbull, I suggest they keep their redbulls chilled since a customer like myself orders the entire can ? price was decent!! I went earlier so parking was great for me but probably not for the late heads ?”

    “I came here on a Tuesday around 5 PM, just as they were opening. They have patio seating right next to the bar as well as a really cute indoor seating area if you prefer to escape the heat. The bartender was fantastic. She was friendly and on top of it. She appeared to be the only one working, yet there were already eight or nine people on the patio. Even so, she stayed on top of everything, and we never had to wait to place an order or receive our drinks. I ordered: • Static Age: This refreshing green cocktail is served in a tall Collins glass and is made with vodka, matcha green tea, vanilla, yuzu, and seltzer. It wasn’t overly liquor-forward, making it light and perfect for a warm afternoon. • MM..Food?: Served in a cocktail glass, this drink features masala chai rye whiskey, vanilla honey, ginger bitters, lemon, and egg white. While the flavor combination sounded interesting, it ended up being just okay. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really stand out and wasn’t my favorite of the two. •Espresso Martini: this was also enjoyable and not too sweet. Overall, this is a fun spot with a great atmosphere. The courtyard has plenty of energy, live musicians performing, and several restaurants surrounding the area, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a drink. Although none of the cocktails I tried really stood out or have me rushing back for more, it’s a nice spot to stop by.”

    “Went in with a couple friends on a Friday night and had a really good time overall. The place had a relaxed vibe without feeling too loud, which honestly made it easier to just hang out and enjoy the night. The cocktails were balanced and didn't taste overloaded with syrup like you get at some places. Bartender was cool too, gave us a few suggestions based on what we liked instead of pushing the same drinks on everyone. Food was decent and came out pretty quick. Not perfect, but the expereince felt easy and enjoyable enough that I'd come back again.”

    “The woman, Kristie I think is her name, that runs this bar is so amazingly friendly and wonderful to be around I love going there partially because of her, but they also have two pool tables and a dart board which is the reason I go. It's an amazing diverse mix of people in the middle of Hillcrest. It's not all gay or all straight. Don't pass this bar up it's been around for a long time and it's a great place to go.”
