The dill fries are my favorite food at any restaurant. The atmosphere is amazing and the drinks are unique.

What a cool twist on the yule tide bar scene. A tiki Santa bar! Get the frost bite and a wreck the halls and then surf on home. Before or after your blues game or Fox Theater shindig.
Relaxing, friendly, amazing cocktails

came here with my partner to start off the night with some quality cocktails, & that's just what we got. Loved our drinks & the atmosphere- we did not order food this time; maybe next time!

Planter's House has always been one of those places on my radar but that I've never stopped in for. This changed this fall when my wife and I were at a work dinner. The reception ended early, and since we had a babysitter we weren't quite ready to go home. On her suggestion we stopped in at Planter's House for a drink on a Friday night around 9pm.
I can't speak to the food as we didn't order anything, but I'll talk about the drink menu. This is what the restaurant is known for and man is there really list to choose from. The building itself is old, and you can feel that history seeping into the drink menu. Plenty of places have cocktails, here it felt like it was in the blood of the establishment. The cocktails really ran the gambit and many were things you don't see on typical menus. I would hate to be a new bartender here as you would really have to learn a ton of drinks quickly.
The atmosphere of the place is enjoyable. The inside is modest, but there is a HUGE patio. I think Planter's House would shine the most on those spring or fall evenings where it is just pleasant to sit outside. There is also a good happy hour T-F (4-6) and one that also runs on Sunday.
There are a couple drawbacks that kept me from giving the place five stars. Although the drink menu was extensive, the food menu is not. This could put you in a bind if you are wanting more than just drinks. This isn't a huge concern, but you should know this is a drink first sort of establishment. The mixed drinks we got also were just fine, not amazing. Given how elaborately they are detailed, there was quite a bit of hype leading up to them.

If anyone is looking for a dinner/cocktail/mocktail scene to check out—go to Planter’s House!
The burger was devoured before I could take a pic 🍔 The birthday cake had us fighting spoons for the last bite 🎂
On top of the cocktail names being funny and clever (“I’m a Nightmare Dressed Like a Daydream” 😍) , it was SO refreshing and fun to have an experience where non-alcoholic drinks aren’t the three-item footnote at the end of the menu.
Every restaurant has their variety of focus, so it was really fun to feel more included and having as much intrigue looking through the menu to find refined mock-tails to drink.

Lovely space, great vibe, good cocktails. Thumbs up 👍
We don’t go for the food—just the drinks, and they never disappoint. Creative, well-crafted cocktails in a fun space. We especially love the holiday pop-ups—festive, over-the-top, and always worth it.

Attentive service, expensive menu. Patio was closed when we were there, not sure why, but apparently that’s the place to sit for it.
Average cocktail is $15 each, really good bartenders that guided us to good drinks.
