Big whiskey drinker. All I can say is holy crap best Old Fashion around. Super super great and friendly bartender.
The Reserve – Belleville, IL
Easily one of Illinois’ best kept secrets. ✨
If you’re a cocktail lover who wants craft quality without breaking the bank, this is your spot.
This place has a top-shelf cocktail list created by insanely talented mixologists—and somehow, the prices are still shockingly affordable. We’re talking $10 for drinks that would easily run $18+ across the river in St. Louis.
Everything we tried was incredible, but my favorites were:
🍹 Glove Don’t Fit – Mezcal, Nonino, blood orange, lime, Angostura bitters… smoky, citrusy, and so well balanced.
🥃 Skiptracing – The Earl Grey syrup in this cocktail was magic. Hennessy + Campari + Grand Marnier should not work, but it absolutely did.
🍸 The Last Word – A classic, but wow did they do it right. Bright, herbaceous, perfectly balanced—easily one of the best I’ve had.
The space is intimate, cool, and elevated without being pretentious. The bartenders clearly know their craft and take pride in what they serve. Every drink felt intentional—and strong in the best way. 🔥
If you’re within driving distance and love cocktails, you need to make a night out of this place. It’s giving speakeasy-level skill with small-town charm.

Absolutely delicious handmade cocktails! Highly recommend for a date night!
Needs a real pool table in a bad way.
Great place, unique atmosphere and our bartender (Jordan) was exceptional.
Best bartenders!
The staff is top notch. Mixed cocktails are always done very well. Beer is cold and conversation is good. A+
