I'm mostly leaving this review hoping for an answer. We went at 5 pm on a Saturday and we were the only ones there besides a girl behind the bar and another one sitting at the bar with her laptop whom later brought us menus. We sat there for 15 minutes with menus but no one came to us. (Again, the place was empty). Both ladies were chatting at the corner of the bar so I made eye contact with the one that brought us the menu and raised my hand and mouthed excuse me. She looked away and continued to chit chat. After another 3 minutes we felt uncomfortable and unwelcomed so we just left. So my question is... what the hell happened?! At first we thought maybe they had just opened but we googled it and they had opened an hour prior. Just under 20 mins and all we got was a menu. I'm just so confused...

I’ve enjoyed Eastern Standard a few times but our most recent visit was for a birthday celebration. The service from Cherry, Bob, and equally delightful bartender whose name escapes me really helped make the experience. It is classy and elegant but also very approachable.If you appreciate traditional mixed drinks or want to experience them, this is your place. The bartenders are legitimate bartenders who know their craft and execute well. Not that there isn’t also a thorough wine selection.Mixed nuts! Warm, seasoned, mixed nuts! They’re delicious and I’m not really a mixed nut person. The charcuterie is always impressive. The pimiento cheese is delightful as well.They have also truly nailed the aesthetic. It’s a beautiful place to feel beautiful.I’ll add that while there is dress code and security, it does not seem to be about gatekeeping or limiting minority patrons but actually about maintaining the elevated and elegant experience. So few places can manage that.Would recommend.

This place is GREAT. The level of service and attention to details was something we truly appreciated coming from a big city. The ambiance was great and we look forward toReturning for their jazz nights, rotating DJs and small bites. Loved this place.

Had never been here, even when it was the Social Club (so can't compare). Bartenders were very well versed and able to make some great recommendations. The atmosphere was not like a speakeasy but more of just a classic cocktail bar. My wife had her normal Manhatten and I had a Pink Peppercorn Paloma. They were so good, we had to have two!

We were here to celebrate a WF Master's Graduation. Despite it being a very, very busy night they made sure everything was perfect. The manager was amazing. Service was excellent as was the food. Hope to go there again soon. Would highly recommend!

Lots of great seating, Nice bar seating a lot of good drink options and mixed drinks options! :-) If you want to do your own drink with with topping on it bring your own can! The windows are big garage doors I open up very beautiful! They have wall seating standing table seating :-)Really nice and cozy place to go to they have jazz nights on Monday
Went to this bar for the first time this past weekend. It had a lovely interior and was nicely decorated. I went to the bar to get a drink and was standing there waiting and a girl came up to me and asked, "What are you doing?" And I said waiting to order a drink and she said okay. She then talked to some of the people behind the bar but I still had to wait for two people to ask me if I wanted a drink. It seems they are a little lacking in customer service. Will give them a try later to see if they have improved.

Lovely environment, an extremely nice place for a glass, or a bottle of wine. Staff is attentive, and everything is clean.
Patricia Blanchard
Cozy, comfortable atmosphere. The roasted nuts and warm pimento cheese dip were delicious. Both are made fresh on site. Wide selection of wines, beer and spirits and not your every day find. We met the owner who was more than accommodating. Highly recommend if you are looking to sit. back and have a glass and relax.

I may be a little biased as the owner, David, has been a friend since childhood, but the ambience is great, service is top notch, and the bartenders really know their drinks. Decor is high-end, but the atmosphere is relaxed. This is our go-to whenever we are in town. Cheers.
Went there for a couple of events.
