Love this bar! It's a straight shooter place. Get good cocktails, and have good conversations. Weekend vibe is crowded, but not clubby or dancy. They also have a fool chart to help you discover new drinks

Absolutely appalling! Paper Plane's bouncers seem to think they're running a VIP club from the 1950s. Not only were they rude and dismissive, but their behavior bordered on racism. Three strikes in four years? That's not just a coincidence; it's a pattern of disrespect. Save your money and dignity by avoiding this establishment at all costs. There are plenty of other bars in town where you'll actually be treated like a valued customer, regardless of your race.Also notice, most of the bad reviews are from people of color. I think that says enough.

When I visited on a Sunday night, there were not too many people, and the wide space made me feel comfortable (a friend said it was very full on Friday and Saturday nights)!The bartending, meals and service are impeccable, and the guards at the door are strict and kind-hearted, giving people a sense of security while spending time here. After all, the security in the city... you never know what will happen in the next second!Next time I will try to sit at the bar during happy hours and get together with friends here again!

Now the atmosphere and service where great, bartenders and bar back were attentive and acknowledged us as we sat at the bar. Wasn't overly loud, can hear casual conversation and lighting wasn't too bright nor too dim.On this day, I didn't purchase any food but a couple drinks, so my rating is of that experience. Great selection of spirits but unfortunately you do pay what the local market or region values the bottles at and sometimes it is secondary rates. For a dram I enjoy, I am willing to pay more especially in CA but only on occassion.

Wild bar with craft mixologists and a nearly overwhelming selection of liquors, especially whiskeys and bourbons.

Bouncers/security at this place are bunch of racists. My wife was not allowed to enter with a digital id while the security allowed another person of different race enter with their digital id.
Are you dumb? There's hella places closing downtown, your the hyped up place one day so SUE me for using your chair to sit when I PAID. You had NObody sitting down get real, I hope other places open to steal customers who are actually appreciated Other note to the bartenders go where you're appreciated and paid adequately

I'm very impressed in the quality of their cocktails. I got the Mötley Lüe and it was delicious. You can taste the different flavors in the drink and they all mix well together. My group ordered other drinks and they enjoyed it as well. The ambiance is very chill and allows you to be socialable with your group. This place can get busy and there will be a line outside, especially during the Winter holidays. It is hard to get a table if you come late.

Came here for Happy Hour (everyday from 5 pm-7 pm) on a Saturday in January. It was obviously not as crowded as on a late weekend, but still lively! I ended up sharing truffle fries with my friend and getting one of their punches on draft. For about $31 after tip for 2 drinks and fries? SO worth it. Service: 3.5/5 Drink: 4.5/5 Atmosphere: 3/5
