Got the “fried green tomato” drink and was blown away. So refreshing and tasteful .. bold but light at the same time. Paired with the Moroccan nuts and the cute intimate vibe, it’s the perfect start to a night!
Had a great experience at this place! Treat yourself to some fine cocktails, great service in a nice environment.
The Russ & Co. is one of my go-to spots in Picton. It’s got such a great vibe—cozy, stylish, and that perfect speakeasy feel. The cocktails are always amazing. You can tell a lot of thought and care goes into each one, and they’re always spot-on. The service is top notch too. Everyone there is super friendly, helpful, and really knows their stuff. Whether you're just dropping in for a drink or planning a night out, it’s always a great experience. I’m really looking forward to checking out the new summer menu—can’t wait to see what they’ve come up with next. Definitely a must if you're visiting Picton.
Best water service in town. No where else is comparable.
This spot was highly recommended by several people, noting we were heading into PEC for a bachelorette. The lighting is dark and I was unable to read the menu. The waiter suggested a drink and said if I didn’t like it, he would drink it. It came and was tiny (and quite costly). I did not enjoy it and asked for a lemon drop. He told the rest of the table to drink the other and then went to the bar and ordered our drink. One of the guests said she would drink the drink and offered me hers which was also too strong. When the lemon drop didn’t arrive, he asked what I was going to drink. We pointed out asking for the lemon drop. He went back to the bar and stated we had changed our minds twice. They then charged us for the extra drink. They also made a dismissive comment about bachelorettes. The reality is that they made us feel like we weren’t worth the visit and our time. We weren’t being obnoxious or making noise. We simply wanted a beautiful cocktail in a cute spot. This put a completely sour taste in our mouth and I won’t be recommending the space. Shame because the spot is sexy and cute.
Amazing spot, great people.
Great drinks, service & ambiance
The staff are extremely friendly, and the drinks are truly impressive. I would 10/10 recommend you give it a shot next time you're in the county. They are usually the last place open and always super welcoming towards guests.
Amazing ambience, staff and cocktails!
This small cocktail bar blew me away. The ambiance was cozy and intimate, perfect for a night out or date. Every drink was crafted with care—unique, balanced, and absolutely delicious. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and made great recommendations. A true hidden gem 🥂

Excellent Pisco sours!
The best spot for cocktails in the County by far. Bar tenders are so knowledgeable and drinks are amazing. We love it here 10/10
really wanted to love this place—it’s cute, boujee, and clearly trying to be the spot in town. But honestly, every time I’ve walked in, especially when they’re busy, I’ve been treated like I’m trying to sneak in through the back door of a secret club. No greeting, no warmth—just immediate coldness and attitude, like I’m a problem for even showing up. I get that full capacity means waiting, but there’s a way to communicate that without making guests feel unwelcome. Super disappointing vibe from staff. A cocktail bar should feel like a treat—not a courtroom.
Proper good cocktail bar, with passion.
This cocktail bar is a true gem. From the carefully crafted decor to the last sip of the drink, there's a touch of magic in every detail. The love and thoughtfulness that goes into each drink is evident. This bar is our top choice whenever we're in the area. Highly recommend – 10/10.
