Cocktails are so well made! Great service & live music. Go for the Thursday Happy Hour to get their $8 featured... cocktails. Update: I recommended this place to my parents so we stopped in again. By the end I was a little embarrassed to haverecommended it. Two of us grabbed a seat at the bar, while the rest waited at a table. We were ignored for ~15 minutes andcouldn't figure out why. Note: it was mid-day and not busy. Another customer was asked if he wanted a refill, and it wasn'tuntil he pointed the bartender to us that we were finally served. We discovered towards the end that it must have been becausewe didn't stand in the "bar lane line" perhaps? A little wait is no big deal, but to be ignored and then get an unfriendly toneafter patiently waiting just made for a really uncomfortable visit. I wasn't expecting it from this place, but it was one of themore awkward encounters I have had in a while. Have not been in a hurry to go back since. Nonetheless, past experiences havebeen good.

This place is awesome. They truly love making the drinks for their patrons and it shows. Decent bourbon selection, very... surprised to see Eagle Rare- which was promptly smoked bar side upon request. Really cool spot, probably going to be our placeto go for the few days we are here. Read more

If you want a mixed drink in the Port Clinton Ohio area go here. I had what may be the best old fashioned I have ever had, and I... thought my recipe was great. I have not had a bad drink yet because their bartenders are very well trained! Kudos to Brooke andteam. It is also a nice location with indoor and outdoor seating including a rooftop patio. And athough they don't have akitchen they do have food trucks to buy food from and if you're not satisfied with that downtown Port Clinton is a short walkaround the corner where there are several restaurants to choose from.

Cool little craft cocktail bar with interesting offerings including house infusions and spicy drinks. They also have a good... draft selection. I plan on coming back when there is live music! Read more
