    The staff at the entrance are enthusiastic and welcoming. The bartender wasn't as enthusiastic but…read moreoverall polite. The bartender could've seemed happier to be at work and suggested cocktail options when I asked and shared it was my first time. The cocktail wasn't memorable. It was watered down at best. I guess the hype here is the staff at the entrance and the aesthetics inside. The Ark is beautiful inside and it wasn't busy at all on a weeknight. I enjoyed having unlimited seating options. The seating here was cozy and comfortable for a date night or a girl's catch-up evening.

    I love this tiki bar! Such a neat addition to Glenwood South. The interior has an awesome tropical…read morevibe and they also have a great patio. Even though the patio is in the parking lot, they really made it a neat little enclave. The One Love is my favorite cocktail. I really haven't ordered anything else in the three times I've visited. It's just so good. I've tried my husbands pain killer which was tasty, but that One Love is just so good. The slight cacao finish against the pineapple and lime, yum! I also love how beautiful each cocktail is. Yes, they are pricey, but you are literally getting small works of art. Parking can be tricky on Glenwood South, but the Ark is literally in a parking lot. You have to pay for parking but it's super reasonable. You can usually find a spot within that parking lot or if you follow the lot around to the back to the second section of the lot.

    Stepping into the cigar bar feels like slipping into a well-dressed time machine that decided to…read moreloosen its tie. The air hums with the scent of tobacco, oak, and good decisions made slowly. Plush couches and deep leather chairs form little islands of comfort, perfect for sinking into a conversation that doesn't need to end soon. Along the walls, humidors stand like treasure chests, keeping their cigars in stately silence. Vintage wood glows everywhere--from the bar's polished surface to the beams above--each grain steeped in quiet history. Overhead, TVs flicker with old games and new ones alike, while dart boards wait nearby for a little friendly competition between sips of bourbon and curls of smoke. The bartender slides the Old Fashioned across the bar with the precision of a man who's been doing it long enough to know that showmanship is for amateurs. No fancy garnish, no chatter--just the soft clink of glass meeting wood and a nod that says this'll do. Happiness here isn't loud or glittery--it's slow-burning and pleasantly lopsided, like a jazz tune played just slightly off the beat. It seeps in between sips and smoke rings, wrapping itself around you like the worn leather of the chair you've claimed for the night. It's the kind that finds you sitting still, glass half full, smoke curling upward like a satisfied sigh. Cheers!
