Honeydew Crusher

“This place is the coolest bar I have been to in a long time, hip and fun but not pretentious. They paid attention to every detail when building and designing. The white marbel bar has clean lines and looks fresh. All of the hardware finishes look sharp and clean. The patio is large and inviting with a fire place and plenty of tables to sit at. The drink menu is creative and refreshing and the staff is kind and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this gem of a bar. I am excited to hang out this fall on the patio by the fireplace with good drink in My hand.“

Perhaps much more importantly, I had feedback for the Meadowlark that was received and taken very seriously by the management team. They reached out directly to me as a follow-up. I appreciated their communication and willingness to hear my concerns. That really sets them apart as a business who cares and want to be integrated within the community.“

Charcuterie

“Truly the best bar I've ever been to. It's not cheap, but what you pay for is a meticulously crafted cocktail menu that has yet to disappoint me with a single drink. Better amari selection than I'd expect just about anywhere to have, and the music is fantastic. Dj nights typically lean global disco or house, but weeknights and Sundays you truly never know. But if you have an open mind, you'll still probably enjoy the vibe.“

“The concept for the menu is a unique trip along the Pan-American highway with stops at various Latin countries. Each dish and drink is thoughtful in its ingredients and presentation. The jicama salad was refreshing, but not at all plain. The pastel de choclo was a wonderful surprise of a warm dish. The frozen el arenal was seriously dangerous in how delicious it was, I can’t recommend it enough. The atmosphere was beautiful and the music was perfect. We are so thrilled to have this gem in the neighborhood and can’t wait to see what they do in the future!“

“Amazing cocktails. Kudos to the bar crew.
Stellar service and attention to detail. If I could give 10 instead of 5, I would. I think her name was Rey (I apologize if I misheard it but it starts with an R). Sometimes even best restaurants miss the mark on service and she was very attentive from Get Go.

Happy Hour on Saturday, more bars should do this. We were pleasantly surprised and would totally come back.“
