17 Best Cocktail Bars near Greenwood

“My family ordered take out. Our order was screwed up-- in particular my dinner. But they made it right and were kind about it. Once I got thr right meal, it was very good- Valencia salad and salmon burger were delicious. They were very busy tonight and without a touch of defensiveness they remade my order once i let them know about the issues. How businesses handle mistakes matters. I would definitely eat here again because of their professionalism and courtesy and also because the food was good.“

“Dined on Friday and had an overall pleasant experience, but wanted to share some feedback to really knock it out of the part from a dining experience!
- The Fried Green Tomatoes, Duck Gnocchi, and Crawfish Pasta were EXCELLENT! Highly recommend ordering again
- The Oysters were a little pricey but delicious overall
- Cocktails are a 10/10 - if you are eating here, I recommend you go the cocktail vs wine route!
- We sat down at 6:30 and did not have a waitress stop by until after 6:45. In addition, we did not place our mains until 7:30 as our waitress did not pop by a ton, and ended our evening at 8:30 after eating our food when placed on our table at 8pm
- The ambiance is cozy and vibey, but I think you could use warmer lighting overall to really cozy up the place!

Overall, we will return, but will be mindful of ordering as many Oysters as we did and there is room for improvement for a better service experience!“

“I recently attended Whiskeyfest at West Fork Whiskey hosted by Indiana Liquor Group, and I have to say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a beautifully arranged space that made it perfect for mingling. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their offerings, guiding us through each tasting with enthusiasm and expertise. They shared fascinating insights into the history and production processes of each whiskey, which added depth to the experience. The selection was impressive, featuring a variety of local and national brands that showcased the diverse flavors of whiskey and bourbon. Each pour was thoughtfully curated, allowing us to explore everything from rich, full-bodied bourbons to lighter, more nuanced whiskeys. I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to compare different expressions side by side, which helped to highlight the unique characteristics of each. The tasting notes provided were helpful, and I appreciated the chance to ask questions and learn more about pairing suggestions. It was evident that Indiana Liquor Group takes pride in promoting quality spirits, and they succeeded in making the evening both educational and enjoyable.“

“Holey shit, this place feels like Indy’s hidden gem for bourbon lovers and cocktail nerds alike. From the moment you walk into Hotel Tango Distillery, you know you’re somewhere with soul. It’s not just another bar. It’s a working distillery with history, personality, and a vibe that is equal parts cozy cabin and urban bourbon lab.
The atmosphere here is rustic and welcoming: high ceilings, brick and stone walls, comfy seating, and even a giant fireplace for colder days. It is the kind of place where you want to sink into a couch with a drink and just relax. Plenty of locals and visitors rave about how inviting it feels, almost like sipping whiskey in a friend’s cool loft.
The staff we encountered were super friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. Even if it was a slow night, you could tell they genuinely love this place and want you to have a great time. That energy comes through in the cocktails.
Speaking of drinks, they are creative as hell. Sure, they make classic bourbons and spirits, but the standout is the flavored stuff like their Shmallow (toasted marshmallow) bourbon. Many bourbon snobs dismiss flavored bourbon before trying it, but it delivers more nostalgia and smooth sweetness than you would expect. I usually avoid flavored bourbons, but this one hit the spot.
And I can’t forget Freddie the cat. He graced me with his presence, a true honor for anyone lucky enough to encounter him. This adds an extra quirky, personal touch that makes the distillery feel alive.
Beyond Shmallow, Hotel Tango mixes up seasonal and inventive cocktails that make the most of their spirits. Whether you are into smoky sweet drinks or something more balanced, their menu shows real craft and imagination.
The vibe is casual but not sloppy. It is cool in that unpretentious hipster distillery way. Great for a date, a night out with friends, or just chilling solo with a drink. Plus, it has that backstory, the first combat disabled, veteran owned distillery in the U.S., which gives it character you do not find everywhere.“

“We finally made it in to Haberdasher today and it didn’t disappoint! Brooks and the staff were so friendly, helpful and welcoming. The cocktails were delicious, the Hugo Spritz was one of the best I’ve had. We will definitely be back!“

“We absolutely LOVE!!! We come up every year from Evansville for our Daughters birthday We love it so much, see you tonight !“

“Highly recommend Monti for the food, cocktails, and vermouth. Service is attentive and bartenders really know their stuff. We have enjoyed the whole branzino fish, pastas, the Cornish hen, and all the cocktails. They also have a regular happy hour worth checking out.“

“Peyton makes the best cocktails! Come try Pizza & Libations bar.“

“Server Odyssey was "Off The Chain" professional!“

“Tried a couple sandwiches: chopped Italian and the chicken with pesto, can't remember the name, ordered a small soup and pasta salad as side orders, all the food was outstanding. Ended the meal with a chocolate chip cookie, delicious, will be coming back soon, to try the rest of the lunch menu.“

“Angie was good bartender“

“Come see the awesome staff! Cody’s drinks are out of this world!“

“best bartenders and best fish and chips in town.“

“This place is amazing! Environment is sexy, service is top notch and some of the best steaks we have ever had. Crab cake appetizer was great!. Filet and Ribeye are some of the best cuts and quality around. This place gives the well known places like Tony's Of Indianapolis , St Elmo, Prime 47. La Tratoria and Sullivan's a serious run for the money. The difference was we made a reservation 2 hours before showing up and were promptly seated and waited on. I am certain that's gonna change as more people find out about this place. We will for sure be back! I think it was Katie who was our server and she was lights out good and attentive. Conner on the grill...keep cooking em like that...Fantastic meal!“

“Awesome food and staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Great service and tasty food. Food came out super fast and was fresh and delicious.“

“We were in town for a quick weekend of relaxation. Using Tiktok we kept coming across videos recommending this lounge both for brunch and night life. So, we opted to make reservations for brunch (Highly recommend that you RSVP). Our reservation was for 12 noon when they open… We were immediately seated and served. They had a LIVE DJ with a nice vibe and the FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! “I’m a self proclaimed Food critic ☺️”and I give it a 10/10 My husband had the chicken and waffles with fruit toppings, I had the grits and catfish. The portions are plentiful… Everything exceeded our expectations! Our waitress was Z, very professional and on point!
SN: all booths have a small table like lounge tables so you have to hold your plate/bowl. No biggie 😊
Check them out if you’re in or near Indianapolis!“
