✨ Drastic Measures & Wild Child: A Sanctuary for Great Drinks and Even Greater Energy ✨

Stepping into Drastic Measures & Wild Child feels like walking into a carefully blended cocktail of beauty, calm, and connection. The moment you enter, the zen atmosphere wraps around you like velvet—dim lighting, curated playlists, and a vibe that whispers chill, you’re welcome here. It’s a space where individuality isn’t just accepted—it’s celebrated!

🍸 The cocktails? Pure artistry. Unique, layered, and dangerously tasty. Whether you’re sipping a smoky mezcal creation or a vibrant, fruit-forward twist you didn’t know you needed, every drink tastes like intention. It’s clear the bar team isn’t just mixing—they’re composing.

But what truly sets this place apart are the humans behind the bar. The bartenders radiate warmth and personality, making every customer feel like more than just a ticket. Max, in particular, elevated the experience for me and my twin sister in ways that went beyond the pour. As Black women, we felt genuinely seen and valued, not just welcomed but deeply appreciated. That level of attentiveness and respect isn’t common—and it matters.

👏 The manager, effortlessly chill, sets the tone for an environment that feels more like community than commerce. You can feel it in the way the team interacts—with each other and with the guests. It’s clear this place is led with care, and the vibe flows from the top down.

Between the unforgettable drinks, the inclusive energy, and tunes that set the perfect mood, Drastic Measures & Wild Child is more than a cocktail bar—it’s an experience. I’ll continue to visit as the experience is always enjoyable.

My partner and I have gone to Drastic Measures many times and recommended it to all of our friends and coworkers. I was very excited for the return of the Jurassic Park theme, but saw that the menu art online was AI Generated. For an establishment that seemed to mirror our support for artists, teachers, and community, the decision to use exploitative AI Art canceled our evening.

Crayon art from a child would have been better . . . actually, crayon dinosaur art from children would have been a strong selling point, and cost the owners as much as this AI garbage.

Don't use AI and you'll get my money.

really great vibe and great drinks.....but their newest menu for their dinosaur drinks was made using AI art. Not going to go back until they stop using AI art :(

The rules of this place is listed on a printed out Microsoft word paper tucked in the corner of the waiting room. We were told by someone who couldn’t look us in the eye that we had to leave and just kept repeating “read the sign.” We asked for a nicer way of explaining how this place worked and he went back to “read the sign.” He also said our party of 5 was too big but the “sign” said maximum of 6. We laughed with him thinking his weird interaction was him being ironic but the guy was actually just weird, rude, unprofessional, and unable to talk like an adult to other adults who did nothing but listen. Heading over down the street to wild child instead. They were more than hospitable and had really really good drinks.

I love this place with my whole heart. The drinks are incredible, the vibes are immaculate, and I love that I don’t have to drive far for a great cocktail bar (but I would definitely drive far for this one). If I’m going to Drastic Measures, I know I’m going to really enjoy my evening.
