About Understory Bar

Understory Bar is a charming spot for gatherings, offering a cozy atmosphere with community-style seating that can accommodate 4-8 people. The bar is famous for its cocktail, The Black Back Puff Back, which combines smoky scents, agave, sweet, and tart flavors in tequila. The inside of the place is gorgeous, and the cocktails are highly praised, with all of them being tasty and well-liked. Visitors can order food from surrounding vendors using QR codes, making it easy to try different cuisines without being restricted to one. The food from the vendors, including poke nachos, pork bao buns, and pizza, is generally enjoyed, though tables are tiny, making sharing and conversation a bit challenging. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff like Aisha going out of their way to make the experience special. The bar’s creative cocktail titles and unique vibe make it a great place for dates or to bring visitors from out of town, especially since it’s located inside of the SkyDeck, allowing guests to enjoy dinner and then stop by for drinks. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for a double date or a night out with friends, with easy parking and a fun, memorable atmosphere.
