The Grape & Grain Exchange

We went for Silent Disco Night - which has been fun at other places but was not at all fun here. For starters, the back bar was not set up for silent disco, there was no room for people to dance, so you were confined to your seat or a small area by the stage. The problem with the stage or bar area was the staff was always zipping around walking through the available areas people were trying to dance. So we had to stop dancing. It was a waste of money because the whole point is to dance and have fun with the crowd. Also, the bartender in the back (mustache, wearing a huge wig for a large portion of the night) was incredibly rude. I watched him actively ignore a LOT of folks at the bar. Most of which either went to the front bar or gave up entirely. Maybe y’all make enough money that losing out on paying customers isn’t a problem? He did have a group of his friends come in and he immediately served them and continued to actively engage with them for a while. He left the bar unattended for at least 5-10 minutes at a time several times. Maybe if we had room to dance, we wouldn’t have had time to observe the situation at the bar as much…but the drinks were not well made, and not inexpensive for poorly made drinks. It’s a shame because we had good service and tasty beverages before..guess times have changed.

My friend and fellow patron were chastised by a bartender for talking about how well the country is being run.

Saw this place on the news, very excited to go. Decor was fab, drinks were ok, fun holiday vibes...EXCEPT...I don't know if more staff is needed, but I have never experienced such rude, cold, and indifferent service. I get that the bartenders are busy...maybe I missed the sign that said Grinches would be preparing drinks. After we smiled a few times we just gave up. Kind of ruined a good experience. Went to another bar. Not as much of a Christmas vibe, but we were treated much warmly. Was going to go back to Grape and Grain with family and friends, but I would rather spend my many where I feel welcome, and not a bother.

We go during Christmas when they have "Miracle On The Square" bar. They have specialty holiday cocktails and the bar is decorated for Christmas. The holiday themed specialty drinks are made individually each time and in fun glasses. The bartenders are excellant.
This is a smallish bar so it fills up quickly. They have some tables outside. There is another lounge in the back. We did not go there so it is unknown if there is food or what. This is a popular spot. I had Hot Buttered Rum and it was superb and hard to duplicate at home.

This place was really good and the drinks were yummy. The service however, was service was SO slow. They had 4 bartenders for the whole place on the Saturday night before christmas and it took all of us over 30 minutes to order, get our drinks and pay. The bartenders were also taking multiple shots throughout the night even though we had been waiting over 20 minutes just to order. I probably wouldn’t go back.

If you're looking for a festive and cozy spot to get into the holiday spirit, this bar is a great choice. The Christmas decorations are absolutely adorable, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that's perfect for sipping drinks with friends. The space is a bit small, so it can get crowded quickly, but that only adds to the lively, fun vibe. The drinks are a little on the pricey side, but they’re definitely worth it—the cocktails are well-made and packed with flavor. Overall, it's a very fun place to enjoy the holidays, especially if you don’t mind paying a bit more for a memorable experience.

Literally don’t even try to come here. The drinks are $18+ for something I can make at home. The glasses are cute but not even worth it. The bartenders ignore everyone and it takes 30mjn to even get a drink. So not worth your time

Good vibe. Mixed crowd of 30-60 y.o. Beautiful bar. Back room had live music Thursday night. It was busy enough, not crowded. Up front music was a play list. Loud. Beers were reasonably priced. Guinness on tap. We watched the bartenders create craft drinks as we sat at the bar. Lots of variety and different alcohol choices. We will check it out again.

This was my first time visiting this establishment. There is no food offered here only drinks, a small walk-through with limited seating and a tiny stage. There was a DJ that was playing a lot of house tunes which I’m not a fan of.

The bartender is very knowledgeable of mixing cocktails, this could possibly be a good chill spot while you wait reservations from a nearby restaurant.

Bartender at the back was pretty rude I had to leave the bar without even ordering a drink. Try to avoid the back end even though that's where the music is at.
