I've been to Little River plenty of times, and have had a great experience almost every time, but the last time I went (about two months ago) was awful.
The bartender was a woman I'd never seen before, and at first I ordered a daiquiri. She said she didn't have strawberry syrup, so she couldn't make one, even though a daiquiri is a VERY simple drink of lime, rum, and sugar. I brushed it off and ordered a whiskey sour with honey, since that was on their drinks menu. She proceeds to stir together honey and bourbon, and hands that to me me. I took a sip, thinking maybe I missed something, but no. She stirred honey and bourbon. So I went back to the bar and told her it needed lemon juice. She takes the drink, pours some lemon juice in, and gives it back to me. Didn't shake it, nothing. The resulting cocktail was pretty gross, and I felt pretty ripped off for having spent $15 on it. Maybe this bartender was new, or was just filling in that night, or something, but the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Literally.
Sorry for the rant, but I'm only bringing this up now because a friend suggested we go there for drinks, and I couldn't get the taste of that terrible cocktail out of my head. PLEASE educate your bartenders on basic cocktails, or just hire people who already know how to make them!

Not sure what the deal is. It shows they are open on Google Maps, but the doors are locked and there is no sign to explain. Their last Facebook post seems to be 2022, but they have more recent Google reviews. Very strange and disappointing.

Haven't been here in 4 years, but went tonight and it's everything I remembered. Low key vibes and amazing hand crafted cocktails with inhouse created spirits and ingredients.

Stopped in for an after dinner cocktail. Definitely one of those crafty cocktail bars, where the bartenders are passionate about their craft.
