“I love Martini's & this place was on my list for my bday on 12/15 - yes I know its not open on Sun, so my plan was to go on Sat the 14th. Weather interfered w ice storm on Fri 13th, so Sat night was super packed & i wasn't able to even get in....no biggie, went to Roxxy n had a blast! Fast forward to my bff coming out from NY n here for Christmas n we decided to go out on 12/28 n try again & yay we were able to finally get in! The place is so elegant n beautiful & has a very classy comfortable feeling to it - I knew I would 💜 it! At the bar talking about my quest n fail of trying to come here for my bday a few weeks ago, sitting next to me was the bar manager Carmen - she said she'd buy me a shot n I was like "oh cool", I never saw it so thought she was just being nice n a totally forgot n I thought 'its ok, no biggie"....then I go to pay my bill & turns out she picked up my 1st round of drinks - so extremely super sweet of her & I appreciated that n her so much.

I tried two drinks and both were well made without being overly sweet. The music was at a good level where you could still have a conversation, which I appreciated. It did get a little busy later in the night, but service never felt rushed. Overall, it's a pretty solid cocktail bar and I'd definitely come back to try some of their seasonal drinks.”

“We had the most fantastic experience hosting our baby shower here! The price point for the venue, bartender, and drink options were all extremely fair and made it affordable for us to have an intimate event in a beautiful space. I’m so glad I got an excuse to host an event there so I could see it, it was just absolutely stunning inside. All of the cider we tried were delicious - a lot of flavor but not too sweet. Brooklyn was the event manager who I spoke with throughout the process of booking the venue and also ended up being our bartender (who made great cocktails), busser, and got everything set up and helped us clean up after. This was the perfect event space!”

We chose to relax with a couple of delicious mules and fresh cigars, and everything was excellent. The host was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to answer our questions, and helped us find cigars we really enjoyed. The waitresses were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome without being overbearing. Add in the live music, comfortable seating, and laid-back vibe, and it was easy to settle in and enjoy the evening. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, a cigar, or just looking for a place to unwind, HG delivers.
