Really fun and laid back spot. Apparently the owner is my second cousin once removed (I think) so my dad was excited to go here when visiting from AR. It was a beautiful day and I love that on such days they’re open to the outdoors. That plus some great early 2000s pop punk classics really made for a great atmosphere. I asked for their most popular drink which was their blueberry specialty cocktail. It was delicious!

Great drinks and great people! We had a fabulous time talking to Sunny and Antonio (we’ll miss you Antonio) and they make absolutely awesome drinks. Definitely worth making a stop in.

Drinks were fine. Employees were not very great to beginl. There was an open staircase that looked extremely inviting so I walked up to it to see if there were more tables upstairs. I did not notice a tiny “employees only” sign sitting on a barrel that was not visible if you did not work there and as I started walking up the stairs it felt as if I was verbally abused by employees who ran up screaming “NO ABSOLUTELY NOT, NO” treatment me extremely disrespectfully, as if I was a child. I am a grown adult and felt incredible disrespected as I was walking into their bar to give them service. The employees were nice following the situation but this could have been handled way better for someone who was a new customer. I will not return here.

I can't believe it has taken me this long to review this place because it is always amazing. Lifted Spirits is one of those low-key places that always provides amazing flavors and drinks--definitely a place to take visitors and I can't wait to become a regular here. The place is not huge, but I can always find a seat! It is a smaller location than other bars nearby (next door is City Barrell and around the corner is King G), but I think this place blows the other options out of the water. The ambiance is comfortable, yet the combinations of the cocktails have me guessing and then LOVING. Last visit, we had drinks that were refreshing takes on an old fashioned and one was a take on I have no idea what--a mix of gin, pistachio and honey orgeat, Benedictine, velvet falernum, and lemon (Winter Vacation). I'm going to have to go back to stay on top of all these amazing combinations at Lifted!

We went here last night for Vamp Burlesque. We came early to enjoy a few cocktails before the show since we'd never been to this establishment. Our server was awesome even though she was super busy. The owner was super attentive and stepped in to help. I found out that I do like Gin. Great drinks, great venue, it was a win for the night. We will definitely be back to try the food!!

The space here is great and the drinks are always solid! I've been before with Yelp for an event and also with friends. Most recently, we did a bar crawl with a big group of people and this was one of our stops. When our big group walked in, the staff seemed a little annoyed at such a big group but I get it, it's a lot of single bar tabs to keep track of. But they quickly got everyones drink orders in and they drinks came so fast. Their classic G&T is a go-to. Their spirits are all delicious and I haven't had a bad drink yet. Def a great place to stop by and grab a drink before or after dinner.
