Nice place with an incredible bar and cocktail menu. The service is warm and concerned. The atmosphere is suitable for small tables. The cocktails ans whiskies menu is very interesting and plenty. Now, depending on the area you are the chitchating of others may become a noise. Be aware. Two things to improve, from my modest point of view: some tables need better light to be able to reed the menu proerly and please reduce the amount of ice on the cocktails: makes difficult to drink.

Fabulous cocktails…just fabulous! Unexpected ingredients skillfully married with ones more familiar in cocktails revealed some exceptional flavors we had not experienced before. While the ones we chose were not spirit forward, we were still thrilled and added another each beyond the “just one drink” intention we went in with. Getting first hand details on how our cocktails (we had Coffee, Pear, Peach, and Apple) were made gave some insight into the differentiated way that Adam and team curate their cocktail menu compared to other bars. Sure, you can have a spirit-forward drink and leave a little loopy anywhere, but the unexpected is what makes life and trying something less ordinary so exciting. Great job Eve Bar team!
