"A true speakeasy with a hidden door. We have been to several speakeasies, including in Sydney and other countries, and normally the speakeasy itself is hard to find, but once you’re in you can navigate it. In this case, it was well marked from the street, but finding a way inside was the challenge. What fun! We also live in a town where the craft cocktail game is very strong. Featuring Award-winning mixologists and places that make their own bitters and shrubs etc. And I will say that the cocktails here absolutely stood up to those in our best cocktail joints! I ordered off menu. I love a ‘naked and famous’, and I was certain they could make it, and they did not disappoint. Our server said that was one of his favorite drinks as well. Then I ordered something that was on menu, and it was well-balanced. My daughter had a couple of fun drinks and I believe my husband probably just had a bushMills or Jamison. Pretty vanilla, but that’s just him. ;) The menus are beautiful. That sounds like an odd thing to be bragging about, but I love the detail of the sheen and the paper on the menus. I used to be in printing and publishing, and so I appreciate a pretty paper. This was a beautiful paper. And with the lighting, the menus actually seemed to glow. A big party settled in near us, and so we switched to another nook. That’s the other thing I love about this place. Lots of cozy nooks to have conversations. The lighting was gorgeous, sort of a purple blue hue. And, as you can see, we even took pictures of some of the light fixtures. I’ve uploaded some videos, but none of them are spoiling the entrance. You will have to discover how to get in for yourself. My daughter just got a job at the Mayo Clinic, and so we will be back!"

"Bitter & Pour might have been the coolest speakeasy/cocktail lounge experience I have ever experienced. It was so fun locating the riddle to get the clue, and then gaining access. Once inside, you are definitely transported to a different time and a complete vibe. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable about spirits and cocktails, they were accommodating for my wheelchair, and they are exceptionally talented when it comes to making these drinks. They were unique, but familiar cocktails and with as many options as they had, there is certainly something for everyone. It definitely seems like this is a place that would get really busy, so there might be a wait or you might have to try to come back. No matter the case, it is well worth it if you enjoy a great experience and a delicious drink."

"Bitter and Pour is a top tier experience. The staff are friendly, the drinks are original, and the space is beautiful. If you're looking for an exciting speakeasy, whether you like sweet and easy or exotic and spicy, this is the place for you!"

"I wondered how to get in. Honestly, I was about to go into the elevator. The bookcase I had been automatically opened up, as if to allow me to see its secrets, instead of watching myself embarrassed on the screen outside the “entrance”. Inside is Bitter & Pour. It’s lovely with many conversations going on. The bar was full. I enjoyed the ambience. My mocktail “Problem Free” was the tastiest I’ve had. So delicious. Check out the branding on my ice cube! Even got a “Virgin Ginger” for my second drink."

"We were a big fan of the 8 ball drink, it was very aromatic. I would like to see some after-dinner style drinks on the menu. I came here after dinner and was craving something with kahlua or baileys!"
