this was only the second time i've gone to the palmetto, and i was lucky enough to catch their happy hour. that old fashioned was very well crafted! the ambiance of the place is super cute, great for catching up with friends after work

Top notch cocktails and a cool, dark vibe at night. Makes for a good date night or a small group of 2-4 friends, but no more or you'll find seating scarce.

get ready to raise your voice during a normal conversation, drink overpriced and mediocre cocktails, and be served by rude and thoughtless bartenders. the only good thing was the music but I couldn't enjoy it because everyone was screaming at each other and their echos.

A few cocktails here were pretty good, but the service was disappointing—definitely on the rude side. The snobbiness is wild considering it’s an ‘order at the bar’ kind of place, so the fact that I noticed it from the few interactions says a lot. The attitude of the bartenders was a real letdown. Sure, the bar has a cute look and nice ambiance, but it all falls apart when the staff treats you more like a burden than a guest. Molly was nice tho! The other two were snobby
I understand that gentrification is inevitable, but there are locals who grew up here and are willing to give your spot a chance. When you move into neighborhoods like this and treat people that way, it leaves a poor taste in the mouth. I don’t even leave reviews like that but something here made me want to do it. Kindness can go a long way with good drinks.
Hopefully, their team will read this and make some improvements, because if it happened to my crew, it could happen to yours!

Place itself look nice and drinks are good .
As somebody who works in service industry I was appalled how rude bartenders are especially guy with cowboy hat.
Went for relaxing night with my girlfriend last Friday but ended up feeling bad cause of awful service .
After he made our drinks he literally throw them in our directions while acting we are bothering him even tough we acted in polite manner .
Other bartender was rolling her eyes at me while I was waiting to pay for drinks and looked at her direction .
No please or thank you too .

The cocktails were good but the service will make sure I never come back or recommend it. Bartenders were rude/cold when ordering and with a completely empty bar seemed annoyed that my group had a question about a cocktail name. And the bartenders didn’t even know what drink I was talking about when I ordered a wine.

DO NOT TIP
The owner pays their employees a living wage so you don't have to tip.

Gorgeous space! the art, tables, plants, and candles are enchanting. Good place to get a cocktail before or after dinner and have a luxurious, unrushed chat with a friend or date. The mellow vibe here is just what you're looking for after a restless day in the city.
