Ward Eight is a cozy and intimate spot on Howard, offering a laid-back atmosphere. Chef Chris crafts delicious dishes that pair perfectly with the expertly made cocktails. The bar team is skilled, serving excellent drinks like the old fashioned and has a superb whiskey selection that appeals to spirits aficionados. The food is quite good, with standout options like the steak and bar snacks that are reliably delicious and fresh. While the craft beer selection could improve, the overall experience is worth a visit, even on busy nights after 9pm. The drinks are unique and amazing, with cocktails like the Baton Rouge being expertly crafted. The bartenders are knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making it a great place to enjoy conversation with friends. The seating arrangement is more restaurant-like, with no high-tops, but the overall atmosphere is creative, wholesome, and perfect for a relaxed evening out or a gathering with friends.
