Absolutely loved this Bar! Great cocktails and a lovely surprise to find Brugal 1888, exquisite Dominican Rum. The place is cozy, small but filled with surprisingly interesting decor, like the “call your mother phone” and the hotel’s keys. You have to wait a bit in line but the door guy is super cool. The bartender made me a Daiquiri with the Brugal 1888, I was in Heaven!!! Staff is super cool, professional and experienced. Can’t wait to go back! Thank your for a wonderful night!

When you absolutely need a well made cocktail in a very cool Cuban inspired cantina, this is it. The mixolotists are experts. Go in on an idle Monday and Just pride flavors you like and they'll blow your mind.
Standard menu items are also amazing. Ask for the Hemingway daiquiri if you love grapefruit.

Great speakeasy rum bar. It reminded me of Panama.

5 stars because they are open late even during the week and the cocktails are good with an nice atmosphere

What a fantastic selection of rum at sparrow! The bartender Gus gave great recommendations! I started the night off with a ti’ punch and was very impressed to be asked if I wanted it neat, on the rocks, or rocks on the side. Afterwards I had a couple of pours of their vast collection. I like how they offer 1oz pours so I could try more rums! Although I went alone this time I definitely will be back with my girlfriend, the vibes were definitely date night. Cheers!

great cocktail selection, counter service only, but classy and cute.

Easily the best cocktail bar in the area and one of the top 3 in the entire city. They really know their stuff and they have a massive selection of Rum but also a ton of whiskeys.
We tried quite a few cocktails and weren't disappointed in any. We were able to talk shop with our bartender and will be back soon.
It's surprisingly spacious on the inside but it does fill up quickly, we walked in at 4p on a Sunday with no problems but have tried to come on a Friday or Sat and the line was long.
Looking forward to coming back and trying different cocktails we wouldn't normally order.

Cool, low-key vibe. It seemed a bit dark, but I think that is the way it suppose to be.

Delicious cocktails and amazing service! The bartenders are skilled and the host is as efficient as possible with getting people through the line and into the bar. Worth the wait!
Sparrow has a very cool, speakeasy vibe. It's much more spacious inside than I expected. The cocktail selection is great, certainly more rum-forward. I was happy to see they also have a wide selection of global rum brands as part of their menu. Overall, great experience!

Definitely my favorite cocktail bar in the city for the last decade. On a slower night go with a dealers choice.

Horrible experience, the bouncer checked my ID, had me stand in line for 12 minutes and then told me that they would not be letting anymore people in for the night and would not give reasoning behind why. Will never come to this establishment again. Save your time and money trying to get here, parking is extremely expensive and you may be turned away AFTER they already check your ID and make you wait.
