Hartman's Barrel Room

Was introduced to Hartmans and the experience was unmatched so much so that I spent the block the next night. The level of mixology, service, ambiance, and food quality is top tier. MY favorite place very special vibe there❤️

Water down $20 Manhattan. Ugh. Easiest basic cocktail. Couldn’t finish it. Venue was swank and lovely. Work on making your cocktails. Stop spending so much time on stupid drinks in fake bathtub with bubbles with straws and practice your basics. Also big ice cubes in cocktails, not crushed ice. Yikes!

Exceptional. An amazing experience and incredible customer service rarely found in America. My only complaint is I wish it wasn’t limited to 90 mins. I could stay here all night. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The team here operates like clockwork… smooth, precise, and on point. Every drink is more than just a sip, it’s a full sensory experience. From the stunning presentation to the captivating aromas and a playlist that nails the vibe, this place sets the bar high.

Limited food options inside the barrel room but that's ok because it's meant for drinks, small little thin crust person pizzas are in the menu, they were delicious, just over priced lol. Priced for upscale (minimum $16 per item) very much a VIP feel, intimate and small area but most definitely a spit where you forget where you were at. 10/10 would recommend

I cannot say enough about the staff at Hartman’s, but especially in the barrel room. Without going into detail, there was a pretty obnoxious crowd. The bartenders, especially our server Alyssa, handled the situation with grace and poise and compassion for their other customers. I was so impressed with their professionalism. To add, i have a fabulous experience every time I am here. Monica is another worker that we visit often because of how amazing she makes our experience. Overall, everyone who works in the barrel room is so talented and the energy is great. Kudos.

I've been here twice now and both experiences were wonderful. The first time was a date night and we had cocktails, some food, and rolled the dice for the whiskey selection. Everything was perfect. The second time, they were gracious enough to accomodate a group of 8 of us. The staff was extremely accomodating and patient with everyone. Cocktails were so good and our out of town guests loved the presentation of the drinks. Thank you so much for providing a great experience!

We had a decent experience with the staff, drinks, and even the food for our reservation. It was really frustrating to feel so rushed paying almost $200 to be here. We put our drinks and food in as soon as we sat down at 6pm. You are only allowed 90 minutes for your reservation. Our check came out before our food and we were told “no rush, but a large party is coming in”. Our pizza didn’t come out until 7:18 and our reservation time would’ve been over at 7:30 so we were rushed to finish our $16 pizza, which was our main portion of food. For the amount that you’re paying, you should never feel rushed out of an establishment especially when you only have 12 minutes to eat.

Service and ambiance were top notch. This is the only true speakeasy in the area. Drinks were creative and delicious as well. Recommend.

I love the idea of this place. You walk into a bar/night club vibe and then head to the back room for a more chill evening. Unfortunately you can still hear and feel the bass from the bar. It’s nice that you get a complimentary tasting of champagne. The bourbon menu is awesome but the house cocktails are meh and take a lot of time to make. The bartenders also need to refer to a guide to make the drinks. We arrived and were one of 2 parties in there (there were 2 of us). We received our drinks and then nothing. The bartenders were busy talking, doing shots and making drinks for themselves. The only way we got additional drinks was when we asked and flagged them down. Keep in mind that they have a 25 person max and we were literally sitting at the bar. They made it seem like an inconvenience to get us another drink. This place could be awesome if they paid more attention to the customer and less on drinking and socializing amongst themselves. When we were there, it was us (2 people) and a table of 6. There were 3-4 employees. They can do better.

Ok, they have a great bourbon selection. That where it ends for me. 2 of us were there for an hour and a half and had 2 drinks each. I probably would have sampled more if #1: I was asked if I wanted something else or #2: the 2 bartenders weren’t drinking behind the bar. I don’t understand why more attention isn’t paid to the patrons since they only seat 25 and you need reservations. The bartenders had to refer to cocktail recipes on multiple occasions and were not attentive. I also think the signature cocktails are WAY to complex and take way too long to make which takes away from pouring straight bourbon for true bourbon fans. I get it, miniature bathtub cocktails are kitschy cool but not for a speakeasy with 2 bartenders.

I don't normally write a lot of reviews but when I like a place this much, its necessary! :) Cocktails were top notch and very creative! The service was fast and very friendly. Our Bartender, Lauren, made us feel right at home. If we didn't have to drive back home, 2hr30min away, we would have stayed all night. We plan on coming back soon to try many more of their delicious creations soon! Thank you! This is what a speakeasy cocktail bars should be like!
