Easy Talk on Broad Street is such a vibe. It's definitely a hidden gem, small and tucked away,but the aesthetic alone makes it worth finding. The atmosphere is super chill and intimate, perfect for a relaxed night out. The bartenders were amazing, incredibly nice, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. They took the time to talk with us and even told us about their Sunday bar school, where you can learn how to make a few drinks,which I thought was such a cool and unique touch. Overall, I absolutely loved my experience here. Great drinks, great people, and an all-around great vibe. If you're looking for a laid-back bar with character and personality, Easy Talk is the place to go. read more

Love love loved this bar! So glad a friend too me to visit. We went to the upstairs bar and met a great bartender. They have many drink options but my favorite is allowing the bartender to curate a drink for you based on your favorites. There are a few ways to curate a drink-the dice roll, the question, and the dealer's choice. My suggestion is if you're there to take a chance and give it a try. I had an amazing drink and an amazing time. I loved the outdoor seating too. So cute and definitely a must visit. read more

Easytalk - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

We didn't know what to expect, but this place is way bigger than it looks from the outside! The vibe gives a little East Asia-meets-Winston-Salem energy; modern, cozy, and full of character. We tried their seasonal lineup and each one had its own twist -- "Ginger Fox", "No (Whisky) Kings", "The Heats & the Sweets", and "Professional Pirate"... The kind of drinks you remember long after the first sip. Also they have a snack shelf with some fun international picks that make the perfect little pairing between sips. read more

PUTTING W-S ON THE COCKTAIL MAP. My husband and I live in Atlanta, but we have family in Winston, so we pop up here often. The first thing we ask is, "When are we going to EasyTalk?" The cocktails are always above-and-beyond great, and the owners and staff feel like friends. Friends who can make drinks none of your other friends can make. Friends that have cozy corners for your group. Friends that have a speakeasy room in the back of their house. We've also taken three of their cocktail classes--mostly with David, but Matt is awesome, too. They should take their act on the road! Those classes are amazing. You learn techniques you can use at home, sure, but you also get to experience the way these masters create bespoke ingredients. Those ingredients! So many things you can't get in a standard bar. Spicy, bitter, clean... Something unique for every palate. We just went there again last weekend, and we had another great time. (If you go soon, try the 4th and Marshall before they change it out!) At usual, we intended to stay a short time and then go to dinner but ended up staying much longer and having some of those quirky EasyTalk snacks. Note to owners: Can you open a bar in Atlanta? read more

Well this place was cozy and gave the feel of a hole-in-the-wall spot that's a gem to find, and I loved it! Though it wasn't actually a hole in the wall place, it did have that close but comfortable and somehow intimate feeling to it. And is a lot bigger on the inside than you would expect looking at it from the outside. The dim lighting, and the comfortable seating throughout really made the place a perfect spot to enjoy a long conversation with unique and delicious drinks. During our visit, I enjoyed two beverages - the non-alcoholic five spicy coconuts (chai) and the alcoholic hot foxy. Both drinks were absolutely wonderful! Also, the bartenders were just the most pleasant guys who could indulge in intellectual conversation while mixing up a great drink. When we arrived, they had fresh focaccia bread from a local partner bakery place (I don't remember the specifics of the pastry partnership haha) but the bread was amazing! I would definitely recommend this, if you're looking to enjoy an intimate gathering with a small group of friends or a friend, or enjoy a date. Also, during the warmer season, there is a walk up window where people with dogs and those sitting outside can order drinks without having to come inside. read more

This place is so cute and low-key. The bartender was knowledgeable. The well liquors are top notch so you can't go wrong. There is a bar in the back which is a speakeasy. The atmosphere is great for a night out with friends or for a date night. This is near East of Texas if you get hungry. I'll definitely be back. read more

Easytalk - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Been here couple times and service and product was top notch. Unfortunately this last time I wish I could say the same. Ordered a chi tea and it was nothing but unsatisfactory, not to mention over $6. The female who prepared my drink was the least personable and seemed very inexperienced. Later when that female staff was not present but rather the owner was there, I asked for a chi tea latte. Was informed it would be 25 minutes. Not impressed, and will never be back. If you're a tourist, I highly recommend Caminos up the street. They have by far friendlier staff and have better products. read more

I was impressed with the location and service of this establishment. Very much a speakeasy bar with knowledgeable bartenders. The way they offer their drinks is unique and I encourage everyone to visit to understand what that means! read more

This has to be the cutest little cocktail bar in Winston Salem. Love the ambiance and warm cozy feel. The selection of cocktails and Mock-tails were unique and delicious. The Ginger fox was as my choice- recommended by the bartender - And it was the right one. I think it was actually healthy too. Add Turmeric=healthy!! Right??? We will be back Easytalk...often! read more

Stopped by to check out Easytalk during a trip home with a few friends. Very cool and lovely place for a date night or to catch up with friends. I had a really good time. Pleasantly surprised to see such a cool vibe in the city. Here are my takeaways: Environment From the outside you wouldn't think this intimate, chill and laid back spot existed. The dim lighting, colorful and creative art and seating areas give this place a ton of personality. When you walk in there is kind of like a cafe area with a few seats and a bar area. You can then walk down a hallway with more seating with sofas and areas for larger parties and then there is a really nice intimate patio in the back - not terribly big but enough for a small party. And then you have the "private bar" in the back meant for a smaller parties and a more intimate customized experience. I really loved the ambiance and the vibe. Service Most of my service happened in the "talk" portion of the bar/lounge. They seemed to have split up the space into two sections: the easy area where you can grab a drink at the bar from the selection they have on the menu or you can go to the "talk" are which is a more intimate and customized area whether they have a selection of games or options you can choose from to eventually get to your drink. One being rolling the dice, another being having a conversation with the bartender about what type of drink you are looking for and they make something up on the spot. This was really fun for our group and allowed for more conversation and more of an experience. The bartender was great and knowledgeable and knew what they were doing. They accommodated our party which actually was larger than they usually would allow - that was really nice of them to do. Food and Drinks I didn't try any food - i'm actually not sure if they had any food. The main mission was the drinks. As explained earlier most of my experience was in the "talk" section of the bar - an intimate space in the back with it's on bar for small groups of people to experience. I think they prefer groups of 4 or smaller in that space. while there you can choose from a few different activities to find the drink for you. I rolled the dice for one drink and then talked to the bartender to give him an idea of what I would like and he made a drink based on our conversation. Both drinks were really good, flavorful and strong. Love them and will definitely be back for more. The overall experience was great. Overall Overall had a great experience here. Loved the environment, loved the drinks. If you're looking for a date night or a place to catch up with friends this is a wonderful place to go. I will definitely be back. read more

What an amazing, and unique experience. Easy Talk is a small, craft cocktail bar on Broad Street called n Winston-Salem. Located in a former auto parts warehouse, Easy Talk is an intimate craft cocktail bar. The main room is small and cozy. The bar menu includes eight craft cocktails , a selection of wine, and beer. There's a room upstairs, where you can have a very special experience. It's small - only four seats at the bar and six along the wall. There are four games you can play: 1- Bartender's Choice - after a coupme of questions, the bartender makes you a drink based on your answers. I told him I liked bourbon, and old fashioned. The result was an amazingly flavored Old Fashioned. Gerald had a similar response, and ended up with a very tasty Manhattan. 2- roll the dice. So there were three die in a bowl, you rolled them, and and it came up with three items, including a liquor, a flavor profile (sweet, spicy, etc), and another I don't remember. Andy and Carolyn choose this one and had amazing cocktails. 3- Equal Parts - the bartender concocts a blend of three liquors served neatly. If you name the three, you win a prize. 4- Tasting Flight - a flight of three different liquors, served neat. Figure on spending between $16 and $20 a drink. It's about the experience. We reallyenjoyed this. It's not the kind of place that you sit and drink all night but it's a great experience before having dinner had a nearby restaurant. Or afterwards. It's worth the price and we will return. read more

Easytalk is the best bar I've been to. Seriously! The drinks are unparalleled and the owners (David and Maddie) clearly care about the experience, service, and quality. If you haven't been there, I recommend the "talk" side which allows you to describe a flavor profile you like then an expert bartender (looking at you, Matt!) will make a beautifully balanced, unique drink just for you. I can't believe this hidden gem is in Winston! read more

This is one of the best bars I have found in Winston! And phenomenally, they can also make every drink on the menu alcohol free! The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied with your selection and are very knowledgeable. The vibe inside is also super low key and especially enjoyable for one on one dates. Highly recommend! read more

This review is mostly our experience with the 10 seat bar in the back where the bartender chats with you and makes a drink based on your preference. What a wonderful experience with our bartender Calvin who was clearly knowledgeable about his job. There are a few options - such as rolling dice or talking to said bartender about preferences and they whip you up a drink. Calvin not only made us beautiful drinks that matched all 3 of us perfectly (think like a live personality quiz and you are presented with a personalized drink), but he engaged us in such wonderful conversation for a the couple hours or so we were there. So grateful to have this quiet little neighborhood spot with a subtle atmosphere that's not too intimidating and makes you feel comfy , relaxed and at home. read more

Reminiscent of the owners travels to SE Asia, Easytalk had us at "Hello." Maps, market goodies, and a cool coffee siphon maker are some of the influences that can be seen from their travels. From the lighting and decor to the eclectic music, comfortable seating areas, and plants lining the walls, this neighborhood bar and market gives off cozy cafe, cocktail lounge and speakeasy vibes. Creative cocktail menu, but bartenders also love getting to know what you like and mixing you something special! Drinks aren't pictured here, but trust that they were creatively made and equally delicious! The Talk bar, which is the speakeasy portion, opens after 5pm. We were able to snap some photos, but they weren't open yet, so we will definitely be back to check that out! read more

Finally made it to the new location of the old Ginger fox! I was here taking a class on a Sunday afternoon . Check out their website for future classes. I love their new location as there is parking. Always a good thing downtown, loved the space inside , it is small, but cozy and there are 2 parts, the easy bar as you enter, offers coffee during the day, the bar part offers your Goto cocktails With basic liquors, and wine. A little further down the hall is the talk bar, where they make you drinks according to what you like basically. I loved the variety of their bar, stuff you don't find everywhere, plus they blend their own stuff too. The talk bar is for the cocktail thinker and the ones who are into drinks with a twist. Can't wait to come back to this bar! David the owner ran the class, you get to make a fun cocktail and ask questions, and meet people. David is super knowledgeable about all things alcohol! Always interesting to hear someone who knows their stuff talk . He keeps it fun and the drink you make you get the recipe to go. We also got a mini bottle of the housemade cordial used in the cocktail to go. I would definitely do another class here. Also look forward to getting back here just for drinks....cool pockets of spaces, and a little patio outside . I wouldn't come with a big group would be hard to get a space unless outside. But a cool spot for couples or girls night. Nice cool addition to our thriving bar scene. read more

Very chill and unique spot that might as well be a speakeasy. It's split into two sections, "Easy" being the more chill vibe and in the back there's "Talk" which is more speakeasy like and more for chatting. But both areas had great drinks, will definitely stop by again. read more

Disappointing. I was a huge fan of Ginger Fox. This spot from the same creators misses the mark for me. The space is uncomfortable and you can easily hear other group conversations. I really don't care to hear about the sleeping habits of Joe and his family. I would love to hear a bit more music fill the space but still allow for conversation. The drink was boring. If paying that much I want excitement. It tasted like plain whisky when it was supposed to have cacao and maple syrup additions. The service was standard. Nothing to write home about. read more

From the owners of Ginger fox - Easytalk is the new cocktail bar in town. The space has two concepts - easy and talk. The front space is easy - you walk in and order straight off a menu. All the drinks are made in house and they are top notch and delicious. They have coffee at the start of the day and coffee cocktails and then switch to cocktails only later in the day. They have an array of unique international snacks. When you get to the back you enter the talk space where you talk with the bartender and they will come up with a unique drink of their choice. The space has the best vibes. They can make most of their drinks a Mocktail version as well! Just ask. I got the hot grill summer and the Bermuda run guy Fieri in mocktails and they were both divine. read more

Easytalk - Queen's Park Swizzle - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

I've been here a couple times now and all I can say is...WOW! This is by far my favorite place to go in Winston for a unique, perfectly crafted cocktail. The service, ambiance, and decor are all the extra cherries on top! This speakeasy is really small, seats 4 people at the main counter and a few more adjacent to the wall. Despite its size, the bar is fully stocked and instead of a normal menu with a variety of offerings, they instead invite you to pick from one of four "experiences" - bartender's choice (based on a conversation about your interests/palette, the bartender creates a fitting drink), roll the dice (3 dice each with different spirits, flavor profiles like rum/whiskey, shaken/stirred etc), pick 3 (bartender creates a drink with 3 major spirits/ingredients and you try to guess which ones), or a flight! Both times I've come, I've rolled the dice just because it's so much fun and the drinks they've made were delicious. I love that you get such a curated cocktail and experience here, the idea that you can have something so delicious and won't ever really be able to recreate it again- it makes you savor each sip that much more. If every city's got its place it's known for, this should absolutely be Winston's! read more

Easytalk is, hands down, the best bar in Winston. Whether you visit Easy and enjoy a drink off their beautifully crafted cocktail menu or visit Talk to get a custom creation, the drinks never fail to impress. I have attended two events they have hosted. One being the Lunar New Year celebration where I had amazing Asian-Southern fusion dumplings from The Southern Wok. The second was their Valentine's Day tasting menu, which had the most inventive cocktail and patisserie pairings. Chef Michael Bass created some of the most unique and thoughtful desserts I have had the pleasure of tasting. The attention to detail the creators of Easytalk put into the experience of visiting their bar is exceptional. To put it shortly, Easytalk never misses read more
