Chic and pink. šŸ©·šŸøStunning decor, perfectly curated drink menu, and perfect music that adds a levity to the environment. A great place to begin or end your night.

. I work upstairs at Corporate institution above Prim. I watched them remodel this spot I would walk past everyday excited for it to open. I have since visited PRIM a few times and I'm highly impressed with the decor. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful.
The first bouncer was very pleasant and had a beautiful spirit.
The taller heavier weight light skinned bouncer is rude unprofessional, and as a result of how my self and my family were treated last night 2/21/2026 I will absolutely never ever visit Prim again, I would also never recommend Prim again.
One of my family members wore a black hoodie because it was cold last night and he of course he was denied entry. I assumed he would allow him in due to me being there last month I saw two guys with gray hoodies on inside of Prim. I literally wish I could of taken a picture.
Also last month the servers were rude and horrible spirits, not friendly. But that's another story.
I understand the dress code, but if you do for one be sure to do for others.
Also my biggest issue is how the tall light heavy weight skinned bouncer spoke to my family and I. You should speak to people with respect and professionaly. That bouncer is a horrible representation of Prim.
The 4 of us that were dressed appropriately were denied entry due to reservations. The heavy weight bouncer stated we needed to make reservations to enter and because we did not have reservations we were denied entry..
I personally do not want an apology so keep that.
I just wanted to state how I felt and PRIM should be aware of who they hire because it's a reflection of their establishment.
Once again this one incident has a long lasting impact and I will never ever return.
Please do not apologize because it means absolutely nothing to me an I will not accept it.
Be sure to address your bouncer and how they speak to potential guests.

2/24/26.My response to the owner of Prim.
If you actually read my response , I have visited PRIM a few times I'm aware of the dress code. As I stated how you treat people is important, how you communicate with someone is important. The bouncers representarion of you and your establishment was horrible and No I will never return.
Thank you

Loved my Valentine’s Day at Prim! The ā€œJasperā€ drink was so good, the atmosphere was super cute, and the music was perfect. The staff was amazing too — such a fun, romantic vibe. I’ll definitely be back!

A super cute bar for a girls night out! Our bartender Alec made sure we had a great experience and all of the drinks we had were definitely worth the trip. Coming back here soon.

Very unique bar in downtown. I really liked the atmosphere and decor of the bar. The cocktails were unique but tasty which can sometimes be difficult to do.

I also liked their shot they had in a chocolate shot glass. You should head here at least once to experience it!

First time at Prim and super impressed! Beautiful space that is upscale, yet warm and comfortable. Alec is a fantastic bartender and all of the cocktails we tried were delicious.
Live entertainment and friendly employees made the evening even more memorable.
We will definitely be back!

This new space is a great place for that date night, or to take someone to impress. Laid back, great cocktails, place to dress up and have a special occasion.

This place is a treat!! We stopped in for a drink on gals night and wound up skipping our next location so we could explore more of the menu. It was fun trying all of my friend’s birthstone themed cocktails and chatting with the staff. Alec was really helpful when it came to figuring out what we wanted and he made the night that much better!

Vibes were emaculate. Alec made us excellent espresso tinis! Hostesses were so kind and helpful as well. Walked in around 8 on a Friday and were seated right away. Still dreaming of the ✨Jasper✨

Enjoyed Prim with an out-of-town friend, but it could easily become a go-to date spot. The gem-themed cocktails perfectly match the intimate, upscale vibe. Shoutout to Alec. Great energy behind the bar, especially holding it down solo on a busy night. Seemed like he’d be fire in the kitchen. Classy spot for a memorable drink!

Jake makes the best dirty martini in town. Don at the front is always so welcoming and great to chat with. I love coming here after work to relax and unwind. Great vibe. Relaxing atmosphere.
