The selections at this bar are excellent! You could spend all day deciding on a martini to try with the vast selections offered. So far every martini I've tried has been great. I come here occasionally with friends and we always have a good time. The atmosphere is very laid back.

One of the last places in downtown Saratoga you can enjoy a cocktail late night. Love the fact that it's 22 and up lol because all the other bars are now 19 years of age and up lol.

This is a small bar that had very good live music (jazz) when we went. The espresso martinis must be a specialty of theirs because many people were enjoying them. The crowd was on the older side compared to other bars we went to during our weekend in Saratoga Springs. They had a $2 cover which must have been due to the live music.

Here’s another “rude bartender” review, not that this bar remotely cares about their reviews.The people who work here think they’re in The Hamptons or Manhattan. The bartender who looked like Gimli from LOTR decided to yell at me about how I ordered my drink (I politely ordered 3 fingers of whiskey) but was told this isn’t the Wild West and ordering like that makes me look like an amateur. He also told me he “didn’t appreciate” how I ordered it.I worked in bars for years and couldn’t have cared less how someone ordered their drink as long I understood what they wanted. This place takes itself a little too seriously for a beautiful upstate New York town. I won’t be heading back here ever again.

I was trying to squeeze into a spot at the bar to order a drink and a guy sitting at the bar was blocking me and calling me out for cramping his space. Maybe he should have been more polite than to try and impress his girl into thinking he was super manly. I didn’t have enough space to order but he insisted on complaining . I tried to tell the bartender but they said I was trying the start trouble when I just wanted to order a beverage. They then decided they wanted to kick me out of the establishment because of the patron in the beginning. Don’t bother coming here unless you’re ready to be verbally and emotionally assaulted. It’s a small space and you shouldn’t be punished for purchasing a beverage and having to get up close to order. I probably won’t go back since this wasn’t even track season and the demeanor of the bartenders was based on me not looking like I could cover their tip quota.( I was a little sweaty from the track ) :(

No bartenders here... they're Mixologists.Sit in awe and watch your cocktail meticulously crafted with incredible attention to detail, right down to the placing of the coffee beans in your Expresso Martini. In a world of hustle and bustle, it's a pleasure to see such pride in a person's work.Worth every penny.

Being 22+ is frustrating for a person who just wants a quieter place to drink on the weekends.
Went in on a Wed. after Track, around 5:30 pm. Had heard good things about this place but was ver disappointed. The bar was almost empty, approx 6 patrons there ( literally! Six!). Grabbed a seat @ the bar (there were plenty of open chairs at the bar.). We were right near the 2 bartenders. They didn't greet us AT ALL. We waited quite a while to be greeted by bartender. There was no drink menu but he asked for our order. We asked for a drink menu to review our options. He seemed very put out - didn't want to be bothered to fetch a menu. (That's weird/rude!). We each ordered a cocktail. Finally when they were served the were set smack on the wood bar. I reached over easily & got us each a cocktail napkin for under our drink - what idiot bartenders - no skills or personality. And there were two of them, like silent twins. This place needs better training. We left after 1 drink, took our wallets $$ elsewhere.

This bar is our favorite place :) Food is good to and drinking vibe is also good too. Midory with lemon juce and something together(I don’t remeber exactly) was great!!

Great jazz band and fun time. Everyone was very approachable and friendly. BEST martinis of anywhere I've been. Jake is a very talented bartender, personable and very hard working!!! Each of his martini is perfection and well balanced. We had a dirty, chocolate, white chocolate, espresso and French martini and each and everyone was perfection and delicious. My favorite was the white chocolate martini. Wish Jake was here in Queens or Northern Brooklyn! We'll definitely be back when we visit Saratoga Springs again!!!
