I stopped by this bar for a drink with a friend, and we happened to get there at a quiet time. It’s a very classy place with an upscale atmosphere, but the bartenders are friendly and down-to-earth. They have some rare drinks on their menu, but their cocktails are approachable and delicious. They don’t seem to water anything down, and the cocktails tend to be strong. I tried two: smooth criminal and lavender blues. I think I preferred lavender blues, it was light and floral, but both drinks were excellent. I’d love to come here again, and I think it’ll be easy to convince my friends once in a while.

I don't remember going here, and I don't think I ever did. But I was probably near the parking lot, regardless I'm giving them five stars for looking pretty

Cocktails were delicious, service was attentive and pleasant, and the vibes were great. We stopped in on a whim around 11pm and we were greeted, seated, and served quickly. The ambiance is calm and comfortable, feels very intimate and private in there! Would recommend checking it out.

In my opinion, the ultimate bar - fantastic whiskey selection, knowledgeable bar staff, and the best atmosphere I've been in. Would drive to GR just to have a glen cairn of their amazing offerings.

Amazing atmosphere. I'm not a drinker, and even I thought it was awesome in there. I appreciated that, after not being able to get a table at Ruth's Chris, my friends and I were brought next door to this place, told that we could still order whatever we wanted from Ruth's Chris and it would be served here. Unfortunately, we didn't want to try and eat a full meal off their small, low tables, and opted to just stay here for drinks/dessert. I ordered the chocolate cake off Ruth's Chris' menu, as well as a glass of milk, which I appreciated they did off the menu (who can eat chocolate cake without some milk??). I got the milk fairly quickly, and then for the longest time, nothing. I was honestly beginning to believe that the waitress had not actually heard me ask for the cake. It took a long time (far too long for something that was likely already prepared and just needed to be plated), but I finally did receive it. The cake itself wasn't bad, but I'm hesitant to call it "cake", as it was so dense and rich, it was more like eating a chunk of fudge.Overall, seems like a great place to chill and have drinks, but I don't know if I'd recommend getting food while there.

Cocktails were amazing, service was good, atmosphere was great. Food was tasty but maybe a little on the heavy side for cocktail appetizer food, eg totally smothered in buttery oily goodness sauce that requires cutting and avoiding drippage on white clothes. Tasty but out of context! I'll be back for more Old Fashions for sure.
