Hannah G.

I love Bar Botanico! Their drinks are super creative. Definitely always recommend the bartender's choice - it's usually a hit for everyone! The vibes are the best; dimly lit, plants and disco balls, good music. It can get a little overwhelming when it's packed, but the host is really good about managing the crowd. It's a Lawrenceville staple!

Dirty martini
Lindsey M.

I asked for an extra filthy gin dirty martini and this certainly delivered! We went late on a Saturday night and were able to get a table! The vibes are so cute in there. Definitely would go back!

Love a place with bartenders choice options my friends and I all have very different preferences and wee given perfect cocktails. The inside is very small but decorated in florals and greenery. Hugeeeee alcohol selection. Small bites from a kitchen in the back.

Bar botanico makes you feel like you teleported to a cool city bar in NYC, Miami, LA - it's so unique The perfect bar for a drink before dinner, a nightcap or a visit for a while. The bartenders are true mixologists. I thought they had such fascinating skills. I loved the fresh plants throughout the bar, it added such lovely detail.

White Whale
Jennifer B.

Met friends here around 6pm. Street parking is available, but leave a little extra time to find a spot. The vibe is light and bright. Casual and modern. There is both bar and table seating. We had a group of eight and had a table in the back. The drinks are creative, strong, and fresh. There is truly something for everyone (vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey, wine, beer lovers). I ordered the White Whale and loved it. Our table ordered nearly one of everything on the menu and gave kudos to the drink quality all around. Service was very good. Waters were filled. Cocktails served quickly. While we didn't eat, I would definitely order the snacks next time which are perfectly paired to their cocktails.

Dirty Vodka Martini

My friend and I went here for cocktail and had a great time. It is super boujee but the cocktails are great. Also definitely a good place for a date.

Spirited away - gin forward martini
Kiana F.

I was blown away by the atmosphere, the efficiency and organization of the staff, and the drinks were incredible. Both of the gin martinis (which are sometimes hard to find) were delectable in their own very distinct right - one being fruit forward and one being more herbal, oily. I had an incredible experience here and would 1000% go back.

I really love the vibe of this place! I was able to sit at the gorgeous bar this time and loved it! This was during dry january and I love that they had multiple zero proof mocktail options! I started with the zero proof espresso martini! It was beautiful, presentation is super important to me for my espresso tinis! Tasted good too! For my second beverage, the bartender offered to make me something off the cuff because they had a lot of zero proof spirits! It was a n/a whiskey based mocktail, and I found it really refreshing!

Cute place to stop in for a drink! Love the plants and concept for the space. The drinks were creative and well made and also had some mocktail options! Bartenders were helpful and attentive on drink options. Overall, crafty cocktails and a fun atmosphere, so give it a try before or after your next dinner plans!

Spirited Away
Isabel L.

Lovely time with evening drinks at Bar Botanico. Super clean and I love the nature aesthetic. Bartenders were really knowledgeable and attentive. All our drinks were delicious! I started with Spirited Away since I prefer Asian flavors in cocktails and it was strong and tasty! Then tried one of their hot cocktails, the Bolivia Rodrigo, and it was a perfect way to warm me up. It is very spiced so if you're not looking for that don't order it. Can't wait to go back!

Down in my Plums
Angela M.

Stopped by the bar after a dinner in Lawrenceville. My friend and I got a few drinks. We went on a Monday evening so it wasn't very crowded and got a seat at the bar right away. The bartender was very attentive and made some delicious cocktails. I also got a bartenders choice cocktail because I wanted a specific liqueur and it was delicious. Always a great time here with some fantastic cocktails and service!

Hummus and olives
Marlee B.

What a bright and delicious cocktail spot! It's definitely worth a stop when you're in Lawrenceville. I stopped in on a Friday evening around 5:30 for cocktails and an appetizer. I was seated immediately. There are tables in the back and bar/counter seating in the front. I enjoyed the wines, carrot hummus, and olives. The staff were incredibly friendly, checked in multiple times, and helpful in selecting drinks!

Bar Botanico is the cutest little cocktail bar on Butler Street in Lawrenceville. I stopped by with a small group of friends on a Sunday afternoon and had no trouble snagging a couple of seats by the bar. There isn't a ton of seating available (bar seating, some seats by the front window, and a few small tables in the back area) so keep that in mind. We ordered a few cocktails off the menu and our bartender made them pretty quickly. All the cocktails at Bar Botanico are always delightful. While they can feel a little pricey at times, I definitely think they're worth it. I also enjoy the Bartender's Choice when I've gotten it before - they definitely know what they're doing here! We didn't get any food this time around but they do have a small selection of tasty snacks available if you need food in a pinch.

The whole space-themed concept makes it feel like an experience, not just a night out. The vibes are fun, a little quirky, and perfect if you want something outside the usual bar scene. The drinks are delicious, creative, and honestly just as cool to look at as they are to drink. Definitely one of those places I'd go back to again.

When we walked in, the host greeted us right away, asked for our name, and seated us pretty quickly. There were actually a good amount of open seats, so I am not sure reservations were completely necessary, but it was still nice to have one. I honestly expected the inside to feel more extravagant and space themed, almost like an outer space vibe with more visual elements and atmosphere. I was hoping for something more immersive and futuristic. It was still cool overall, just not quite as visually dramatic as I imagined. We ordered an espresso martini and the Kiwi Nova. I really enjoyed my drink, especially after talking with the host who explained that they use scientific processes for their cocktails along with fresh purées and fresh ingredients. That is something I really appreciate because I am not a fan of drinks made with a lot of simple syrup or fake additives. He loved his espresso martini and said it was one of the best he has had. My drink was definitely on the sweeter side and I feel like too much of it might lead to a hangover, but it was still really good. Our server was attentive at first, but later on we ended up waiting a while to order another round. After sitting for a bit, we decided to order through the hostess instead and she got us taken care of right away. Overall, it was a cool experience mainly for the drinks. The cocktails were definitely the highlight. Service was okay, and I am not sure if we will return, but I am glad we finally got to check it out.

The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. The drinks are definitely crafted with care and have a lot of complexity, but with only two bartenders working, it took quite a while to get ours. Not the place to go if you want quick service or are grabbing a drink before another event. My biggest downside is the price point--most cocktails are around $17. They're good, but at that price I can really only justify having one. Note: They do not have food, just snacks like peanuts. Overall, amazing ambiance and well-made drinks, just expect slower service and a higher bill.

Very impressed by their craftsmanship and experimental flavors. There's not many places in this area that even attempt to do that. I love the speakeasy vibe. Super cool entrance and fun comfortable lounge upstairs. It's a fantastic place to go as an intimate group. But it's kind of small to take a group of more than 4 friends. Cocktails were made surprisingly quick even on a busy night. Everything is just really great about this place. Except for maybe the price lol but at least you're getting what you pay for in a good way

(Sitting at the bar is the best!) We started with Bartender's choice (which is always a good idea if you're at a specialty cocktail bar), and we both loved what we got! They made me a Juliet & Romeo, which was gin, cucumber, mint, etc. they made my fiancé a Safe Return, which was bourbon, pineapple, cinnamon, etc. (didn't write down the ingredients so can't remember it all lol) I also got the classic Last Word, which was great! They didn't include the maraschino cherry garnish which made me sad, but I lived lol. I also tried the Euro Trip from their specialty menu, and it was delicious and very spicy from the ginger. They also had their own barrel select of Knob Creek, which my fiancé tried - so cool! The bartenders were super chill and the ambiance was great! A little pricey but worth it.

While technically not a true speakeasy in the sense of hidden doors and secret codes, it is amazing. You do have to "look" for it. From the street not an easy spot. But you will be so glad you found it. True craft cocktails with knowledgeable, accessible staff. We had wonderful conversation and superb drinks. I am sorry to forget our bartenders name but she was a professional (I hope she enjoyed Detroit) Not a pretentious place, just good people.
