Hayride Scandal

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with great drinks and a vintage vibe, this bar is a must-visit. The Chimney Sweep and Lion’s Tail cocktails are standouts, and the bartender was friendly and efficient, getting our drinks to us in no time. The atmosphere is a throwback to the 1930s, with old-school decor and soft lighting that creates the perfect ambiance for a relaxed evening out.

Prices are on the higher side, with regular cocktails priced around $15 each, and reserve cocktails running at $30. For two drinks, expect to spend at least $50, but the quality of the drinks and the overall experience make it worth the splurge.

Evan and Bryan were a winning combo on my Sunday evening visit. We were in town for one night and wish it were longer. Came to visit were greeted with friendly service, great drinks & awesome recommendations. I was kinda sad, no bar snacks or food were available, probably would have stayed at the bar even longer. There was inside and outdoor seating available. It definitely gives quaint speakeasy vibes , craft cocktails, nice variety of liquor and comfortable seating. We sat at the bar but cool lounge seating available too.

I stopped into Hayride Scandal since it was just a few minutes from my hotel and had good reviews for cocktails. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t match the hype.
The bar itself has a cool vibe, but the staff seemed more focused on chatting at the back of the bar than paying attention to guests. I ordered an Old Fashioned and was really disappointed — it was one of the weakest I’ve had.
One odd detail: there was literally a pot of chili sitting on the bar with a heating element, and people would just come up and serve themselves bowls. It seemed to be a local favorite, but it definitely caught me off guard, especially in a cocktail-forward bar.
Overall, this felt more like a hometown hangout than a true cocktail spot, and the experience left a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t go back.

We were going get a few drinks at this place and take some selfies because they have beautiful decors. We didn’t even sit down for five minutes and one of the bartenders came and rudely told us she’ll let the pictures slide and we have to go order something now. As if we weren’t gonna order once we settle down since it’s our first time checking the place out. So immediately bad vibes and we left. Would not support a business if we couldn’t feel welcomed

Great atmosphere and cocktails

Brian & his staff are the BEST!!!!

I highly recommend

Great establishment to sit, relax, and have a cocktail

Great little bar knowledgeable staff good drinks

The best amaretto sour I've had. Plus there was a nice love band. Lovely atmosphere, not pretentious and doing a very fun thing. A lovely night out.

Top notch service, atmosphere and delicious liquid libations. Great place to start and/or finish the night with a bang. Their Instagram is great way to keep up with their events.

Fun speakeasy atmosphere in a strip-mall type location. The staff is adventurous and the spirts are plentiful. Happy hour menu is good.

This is one of those gems in BR. They specialized in cocktails. I have never had 1 bad cocktails here. Try their Lion's Tail, Alligator Tear, Silk Stocking.
