The Lift is a well-established bar known for its relaxed and down-to-earth atmosphere. The skilled bartender provides excellent service, being fast and attentive to customers' needs. The bar features a unique "lift" as its centerpiece and has a dimly lit room adorned with local art, creating a fun and enjoyable ambiance. The cocktails are reasonably priced, with the Manhattan being a popular choice. The space is small, giving it a cozy, hole-in-the-wall vibe, ideal for a few drinks with a date or small group. The crowd is pleasant, and the bar is not too rowdy, making it a great place to enjoy cocktails and good company. The Lift remains a popular spot for locals and returning visitors, having maintained its charm over the years.
The bar hosts art exhibitions on the walls, sometimes features local music and events, and has a comfortable, worn-in atmosphere. Customers have praised the friendly staff and the bartender's knowledge, including accommodating dairy-free requests. The bar is also known for its great atmosphere, with a low-lit, comfortable setting and activities like chess.
