turned away guests an hour before closing. so sad usually they are accommodating and their drinks are delicious just sad that they are not doing service within the last hour

Happened into this place for a quick cocktail and nibble with some friends. The cocktails were creative, yummy, and reasonably priced. The nibbles (we had several small plates) were all very good. The Service was a little lacking, HOWEVER- they were extremely busy at the time, and I am guessing short-handed. Atmosphere is good. New, smaller bar scene for after-work crowd vibe. A bit noisy but lively. I would definitely come here again and suggest this place to others.

This is a quaint little spot in center city. It's quite an intimate setting so it's always packed and loud, but worth the wait if you can get in. The vibe is my favorite part - it's very much a bar and can loud because it's so small, but it's still very sexy and upscale. You can order food through a.kitchen (next door) if you want. I didn't think it was amazing, but it is yummy. The drinks here are some of the best I've ever had. The attention to detail makes all the difference. This is one of my go-tos when I'm out with friends.

Quaint, chic little place. Great for a quick plate and drink to recharge. Be sure to get the Old Fashioned. Pure artistry!

We came here for drinks only! Cute ambiance and good cocktails! We would go back again if we are in the area!

Drinks were great. Bartenders mostly just talked amongst themselves. Not expecting nor desiring a huge amount of conversation but they lacked any real sense of friendliness. For a bar this nice, I would have expected more.

Chic low-lit bar adjoining the restaurant, usually pretty full. The drinks are good, but some are more experimental than satisfying. That said, the staff is really kind and accommodating in switching things out. I’d give 5-stars, I just think it’s so busy table service and bar service are delayed, but by all means intelligent and veteran.

Emily was the sweetest and truly cared about our experience. This place pays attention to detail - food and drinks were amazing. We popped in on our way from rittenhouse park and were blown

Diego is one of the most impressive bartenders I’ve ever watched work. Upon sitting down, he was making upwards of 5 or 6 cocktails at the same time. He made me the “Long Shadow,” their version of a reposado old fashioned with some Jamaican rum & east India sherry. Wine selection is vast and the food is worth every penny. If you’re in the Rittenhouse area, or even near center city, a.bar is a must go. My suggestions are the wagyu steak and the octopus lyonnaise??????
We stopped at A.bar on our way to dinner nearby. We glanced in and loved the place; great vibe, fun crowd. We sat at the bar and had amazing cocktails and yummy bar food and enjoyed the theatrics of the bartenders. Great craft cocktails and very unusual. Loved it.

Traditional bartenders whip up some amazing concoctions. The staff is very pleasant and eager to please. The cocktails were creative and delicious. Don't see something that appeals to you. Just tell them what you like and they'll create you a drink you'll love. We will definitely go back every time we're in the city.
