We ordered Frozen Apple Ciders ($14 each) at Recess while having dinner in the 4th Street Market. The drinks tasted AMAZING, but were so unexpectedly cold compared to other "frozen" style drinks I've had before that everyone in my party made their mouths numb on the first sip! We ended up having to wait for them to melt to comfortably drink them, but the flavor stayed. Service was quick and easy. You can take your drink anywhere within the indoor market from what I saw!

My girlfriend, and I went out for a little little bite to eat and a beverage, and the bartender at this particular bar on Thursday at 730 in this food extravaganza was so rude and uninviting that we lost our appetite and she lost our business forever. It's sad because we loved the vibe. We won't be back until she's gone

I appreciate Jacob and August for their kindness and patience. I tried the drink they made but I wasn’t a fan. The above gentleman worked with me on finding a drink mix that I appreciated and now I will not hesitate to order from here.Managers, give these men some praise (and a bonus)!

It seems as if this place is a not use to catering To regulars , I mean if that makes them happy cool. They treat people like s*** they are ignorant , its like they see you but purposely ignore you if your not white or a regular I'm laughing because if this attitude is kept up , this business WILL TURN TO S*** !! And f*** them for being racist . Oh and the short girl with dark hair has all the issue She either does not get f***** & loves bringing her problems to work or who knows what up with her .Always has a p*** like attitude (you can smell her )From a far .

Fabulous!Alex the bartender is so great and friendly plus he’s knowledgeable and is crafting some superb drinks.Their beer list is great and always changing. And the prices are right on for the great quality drinks you get. A perfect paring to the awesome food options in 4th street!

2 stars because pre made drinks.. Yes pre made cocktails. I, ordered Call me by your name and the gentleman gets a glass with ice and pours the drink from the machine (pictures below) are u freaking kidding me. $12 dlls for a pre made drink poured from the machine. I asked what was the deal and they mentioned the drink was already pre made. I think they are called cocktails because you make them right on the spot. Anyways 2 stars no bueno.

What a horrible horrible bartender. It is a Sunday, 2 in the afternoon and I walked up to an open seat at the bar and gave her a smile. After eye contact, she looks to another person and says loudly, "Why do people keep bothering me when I am obviously busy. I may not look busy, but I clearly am" I literally did not say a word to provoke such an outburst! I figured she just finished the lunch crowd, so I patiently waited for her by watching the tennis match on the TV. For the next 10 minutes, she studiously ignores me and pretty much every other patron at the bar. I shrugged and walked back to my fiance. If they don't want my business that is perfectly okay with me. Not 20 minutes later, she ends up at the same coffee shop where I'm working, and chit chats with the barista for a few minutes again grousing about how busy she is. Over the next 30 minutes this keeps happening. I can see I am not the only one who had an encounter with such bad service.

Bartenders skimped on drinks and when I asked about it they were rude . Drinks are overpriced. The bars across the street and around the area are really neat though.

Went to celebrate a birthday this was the tomahawk steak. I rate the food at a 8 due to flavor. The drinks were great And very presentable I would give it a 9. Customer service overall was excellent above 10. The waitress was so knowledgeable and patient which lots of restaurants don’t care about that any more. Thanks for a good time here.
