Hands down the best cocktail lounge in the city. The mixology and creativity of the drinks are unmatched. The "At Last" is the absolute greatest espresso martini ever concocted. They are willing to adjust ingredients to accommodate dietary needs.

I can’t speak on the food here but the drinks are great. Parking kinda sucks here but that’s for must business on cherry street.
I got some drink called the last King Kong? Absolute gas. 5 big booms
Then I got some hot tea liquor thing and that was fun. Kinda meah but I felt sophisticated drinking it
Great place

The drinks were wonderful. The 90’s-2000’s hip-hop playlist was impeccable. Will 100% be going back. Can’t wait to try the Old Fashioned flight!

One of the worst drinks I have ever had. Went in just before Christmas so I expected some winter drinks but the whole menu other than 5 classics were Christmas themed. I ordered the gingerbread old fashioned expecting an old fashioned with some gingerbread flavors. The amount of ginger in the drink completely blew out my palette. The drink had to have been made wrong because I cannot see how anyone would enjoy this drink.

Little pricey but impressive in all other regards
Place has a nice atmosphere if you can get service…..but the service was really sloooooow. Did not say anything to server but she apologized for the wait between orders. It was not really busy but only two servers. Some drinks were very good and some not so much. Manager is very rude.

This place was terrible. We tried 4 cocktails and all of them tasted bad and mixed with cheap bourbon. Took about 30 min to get our order after waiting 15 to even have a server place it. It was not even busy, patio closed and about 20 people at tables and 4 at the bar. I went up to the bar to see if I could get drinks and was told no. Wait what? Don’t waste your time here, too many other fun places around.

Me and a friend walked in at 9:20 pm. We immediately were greeted and brought to a seat by the host. Our waitress came right away to grab our IDs and had waters ready and even a little sample drink for both of us. She told us she would give us some time to look over the drinks. And then we never saw her again. Mind you, the bar was not busy, there was maybe 5-6 other tables and a few people at the bar. She was actively serving a group of people sitting 2 tables away from us. We did not get approached until 10:35 pm by a different waitress asking if we were still doing okay. Not sure if the waitress didn’t like us? Or forgot she was serving us? We almost thought we were doing something wrong and were supposed to order at the bar, but then we knew everyone else was getting served.

Don’t waste your time coming here. If you want to waste your time and money, by all means. We waited for 45 minutes for our first round of drinks. Blonde waitress did not apologize for the wait and drinks were made inconsistently.

I enjoyed a cocktail here after dinner with two of my friends. The staff was friendly and the interior was intimate and well decorated. The cocktail menu is creative and I had a wonderful drink that seemed to be styled after pho noodle soup. It was great, and the savory notes really appealed to me. It’s a bit pricey, but good cocktails are like that nowadays. It’s worth a visit for sure.

Wow, if I could give this place a zero I would. I bartended for 15 years and have been in the service industry for 25 years, so I "get" it. I have never been in an establishment with such terrible service. Rude, condescending, snobby employees. A tall dude behind the bar was so busy hitting on girls next to us we were legitimately ignored for 15 min. When we asked if we could order a drink and he was annoyed with us. Huh? Isn't this a bar? Isn't this how you make your money? I was just blown away with his behavior. We were two out of four ppl at the bar and the patio was half full. This was not a busy time. So we proceeded to move out to patio and another dude served us. We legit waited FOURTY min for two drinks. What a joke! We almost got up and left. We will never come back to this dump again. Steer clear! If you're looking for an eclectic space with good drinks and service check out Buffalo Traders or Pursuit of happiness.

It took 45 mins to get our first round of drinks. We reminded our waitress twice and she did not seem to care nor was apologetic. No refills on water. Cocktails themselves were just okay.

Best Cocktail Bar /lounge in GR -The MidWest for that matter. By far one of the best ive been to. The Mixologist who was making our cocktails was on point. She’s at another level . Its been a few years since Ive been to a cocktail bar and watched someone work as hard as she was mixing at times 4-5 cocktails as if she was a mad scientist and then id watch the cocktails go out to the customers only to see delight on their faces when they would take their 1st sip. Less Travel has done their homework. All the alcohols they provide are distilled by them locally at their distillery outside of town so its a tasting room/bar as well. If you like sipping vodkas with a high quality wheat you’ll not be disappointed with their vodka very GOOD! . They have a beautiful patio out front. I cant say enough Good about Less Traveled. We look forward to our next visit to GR and our next visit to Less Traveled, Cheers!
