What People Are Saying
from Google"Went once before several years ago and recently went for their Hulaween. My recent visit had me saying "why the heck haven't I been back more often?!" This place is awesome - vibe, staff, drinks, the whole package. The overall vibe is great - casual, smart, hipster, and a touch of elegance with a silly side. Hard to put into words but so welcoming and unique! The staff are so great as well - the manager is super chill and friendly, and the servers are kind and fun. Our drinks were awesome - I always worry about the balance of flavors and drinks being too creative but they absolutely nailed it. Would absolutely recommend you check them out!"
"Look no further! You’ve found the best cocktail bar in town. They’ve got music, they’ve got vibes, they’ve got beautiful beverages. Some might say "they’ve got it all". Don’t just stand there with your mouth open, reading this review! Run to Humbug. RUN I SAY!!! And when you get there, tell Jackie and Andy, and the mad scientist Isaac, I said hello! Bonus points for sitting at the bar to watch the magic happen. (Drink in photo: Cindy Lou Who by Isaac)"
"visited Humbug last night and left feeling genuinely disappointed—and honestly, a bit taken advantage of. My friend made a reservation online that required a $10 cover charge per person. I arrived early and sat at the bar. While waiting, I saw several people walk in without reservations, and they were seated right away with no cover charge mentioned. When my friend arrived and confirmed our reservation, we were also seated at the bar even though there were empty tables. Odd, but not my biggest issue. The problem came when we asked if our $20 cover went toward our drinks. The bartender checked and told us no—it was simply a cover charge. She also insisted they weren’t taking walk-ins at all in December, which was clearly untrue based on what I had just watched when I arrived. At that point, it felt dishonest, and like we were being charged simply because we had a reservation. The drinks and Christmas vibes were good, but the lack of honesty from the staff ruined the experience. No one wants to feel misled or singled out for unnecessary charges. Because of that, this will be my first and last visit, and I won’t be recommending Humbug to friends or family."
"Thank you Humbug for allowing us to get there early and celebrate our sons engagement. Humbug is perfect for a small gathering and the cocktails were on point."
"We finally made it here after our friends and news outlets recommended. We went on a Sunday afternoon to avoid waiting and crowds. It was great, we sat at the bar, Andy and Shane were friendly and helpful in deciding what we should order. We tried several cocktails, all of them were amazing. I really like the vibe of this place, it's chill an unpretentious unlike some other cocktail bars. They have a pool table, just saying. They have a small patio overlooking the ample parking lot behind the building, garage type doors open in the front so you can sit and people watch (or car watch on the Plaza). Don't bother bringing any living human under the age of 21, yay! Well behaved adults only. We don't live far from here so we hope to visit more often but we will ride share so we can enjoy the yummy cocktails 🍸🍹🍺🍷"
