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.

Great place in town to catch a cocktail in an intimate setting. Our bartender Cayden was friendly and helpful. He always made sure to check in on us and keep the cocktails full. Really enjoyed my first time here. Everyone seemed to work well together to give a positive experience. Will plan to come

Always Lumber Baron when it is open. Unfortunately that hasn't happened often so I hope that 2024 changes this trend. Drinks are always amazing!

Went for fancy drinks during a night on the town. It's dark, cozy, and has excellent bartenders who know what they're doing. Interesting cocktails.

My husband and I were staying in the hotel for an event. One of the other attendees told us about this place and highly recommended it. We found it and decided to give it a try. It is a really class place. The decor is very nice and reminded me of some of the super swanky places in NYC, like the Brandy Library. Our server was very friendly and professional. I cannot recall the cocktails we ordered, but they were wonderful. We did not get any food as the event we were at earlier had a lot of food. Should I find myself back at this hotel again, I will definitely stop in.
Great drinks and appetizers. The price point is a little over the top compared to other locations that provides a similar food and cocktail experience, however the atmosphere makes up for it. A good place for celebrations or a date night, will definitely be a treat.

My husband and I were looking for a low key bar near our hotel to end our night and this was the perfect spot. Loved it’s low key, speakeasy/old world vibes and delicious cocktails. We sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the bartenders make drinks. Our favorite cocktail was the smoked old fashioned, but all the drinks were delish!

Small romantic spot with amazing cocktails and friendly staff. We have been here several times and the bartenders are amazing. It's nestled into a small room that is cozy and dark. Their smoked old fashioned is my favorite. It makes the whole bar smell glorious. They have many cocktails that are prepared perfectly and you get cold chocolate with your tab.
