What People Are Saying
from Google"Outstanding music, lighting, and a wide variety of spirits available. Bar snacks are offered but the kitchen typically closes at 9pm."
"This place was super cute! It had a cozy local vibe, tasteful holiday lighting, and made me wish I lived closer! I ordered a seasonal cocktail where proceeds go to a local charity, and I ordered some dumplings for snacking. All were so good that I forgot to get a good picture."
"Small, cozy, and worth a revisit. We had a few N/A drinks for dry January; the Vacation Email was good without being overly sweet. Perfect for a happy hour in the winter."
"I absolutely love The Bartender's Handshake. Extremely good and interesting drinks at prices lower than most. They've also started small "tapas" style plates which they rotate frequently. Pictured is the best hummus I've ever had! The location is small and intimate, but clean and does not feel cramped. Lighting is dim and styling is retro. They have a back patio, which seemed decently sized, but sadly it was too cold to enjoy. I'd never think twice about coming here!"
"Fantastic cocktail bar with fun signature drinks and affordable classics. The patio is great, and inside feels like a neighborhood spot that's been there for years. The bartenders are nice and knowledgeable, and will make you anything you can think of."
