Reynolds is the definition of elevated dining and social experience. Their cocktails aren’t just drinks—they’re a whole conversation, crafted with creativity and precision that makes each sip memorable. The bites are iconic, offering a perfect mix of flavor and presentation that keeps you coming back for more. And the vibe? Absolutely high-end—sophisticated yet inviting, making it ideal for a night out or a special occasion. Reynolds delivers on every front: exceptional drinks, delicious bites, and an atmosphere that feels luxurious without being pretentious. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in a truly refined experience.

Great atmosphere and a cool, moody vibe, but service is lacking. It has a nostalgic and almost retro feeling that is very chic. Drinks are delicious as well! Unfortunately, we were seated at a table and it took 35 minutes for them to bring out the first round of drinks. No one even came by in that half hour after we ordered to check on us— we had to go up to the bar to see what was happening and were told they forgot about us. They comped the drinks without us having to ask, which was nice, but going that long without a waitress even checking on us was appallingly bad service. It took so long for the drinks that we did not end up ordering food as planned and went somewhere else for dinner, so I cannot attest to how good the food might be. The place is cute and has good potential so I hope they sort out the service issues.

We had a group outing here and everything went super smoothly. I'd recommend this spot for small events, date nights, and hangouts--it's pretty ideal. The crispy chicken sliders were particularly a hit and everything is made from scratch. Service was quick and attentive, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between relaxing and upbeat.

The host was extremely rude and condescending. He has absolutely no business working in the service industry and is hurting the business.

The rare cocktail bar where you are transported to another time. The mood is elegant. The drinks are pristine. The service is a reminder of what it means to care for those small details which combine to bring effortless joy to the small time we have to share with the people we love.

The place has great energy and a lot of potential, but the service is incredibly slow. I’ve been a few times hoping it would improve, but it hasn’t yet.

Like someone else mentioned previously, the bar area is INFESTED with fruit flies. Absolutely disgusting.
Went to Reynold’s for a third date a few weeks ago and can’t say enough about the atmosphere and the staff. I got to the bar a few minutes early, where I was greeted by the manager, Luis, who sensed I was there for a date and personally saw to it that we had a great experience. He checked in with us several times throughout our three hour stay and despite the place being nearly full, he made us feel like we were the only people there. The same can be said for our server, Mae, who was fast, friendly and provided great drink recommendations.
… and I earned a 4th date, thanks in part to the experience they provided!
Reynold’s is my new favorite cocktail bar in the area. Will definitely be back!

Reynolds bar is a beautiful intimate cocktail bar that I absolutely loved. I stopped by with a friend after having dinner at Casamara and we both had a great time! The space feels like a speakeasy with dim lighting, candles, a beautiful bar big comfortable lounge chairs surrounding the space that's perfect for a date night cap or to catch up with friends. Very chic, sexy and mature. The cocktails were well made and I'm looking forward to returning to try other cocktails on the menu. They also have a few food options on the menu that I would love to check out next time. I absolutely love the space and will definitely be back.

Vibes are immaculate. The space is super cool. There were some issues though. We ordered the corn dogs and the batter was undercooked / raw in some parts. The cocktail menu has some variety, but is mostly heavy on martinis. The espresso martini we ordered had a heavy hand pour and was unpleasantly strong. We would’ve shared some of this with our server but I don’t think we were asked how first sips / bites are
