A low-lit lounge and bar, a space that feels intimate and yet, the music playing from the speakers (not too loud, just there) gives it an expectant energy, too. It's the kind of place you enjoy being because it feels like an experience. I'm going to have a unique, well-made drink tonight in a cool spot. The cocktail menu seems like it's updated every season or so, the bartenders/creators' names featured on the cover. Very cool. Will definitely be back.

You know how sometimes you'll go to a nice place and the hostesses are catty, rude and have close to zero manners? That won't happen here! Even with their high class service, the bartenders expertise in all types of spirits, and the craftsmanship of each and every cocktail + plate. Anna was the hostess during the time i went who took my number down to add me to the wait list. She was soft spoken (welcoming with just that) and not to mention, GORGEOUS.

We've been meaning to stop by Saint Valentine for months, so when we finally found ourselves hungry…read morelate this past Saturday after a DSO concert, we had to swing over and grab some bites to eat. As big fans of Misti Norris and Petra, we first heard about Rainbow Cat when it was still a temporary popup at the bar. Having now tried her newer creations at Saint Valentine, we can safely say we'll definitely be back in the future for the drinks and vibe as well. Service was great throughout, with Paul and several other bartenders and servers casually conversing with and taking care of us the whole time we were there. It was super fun getting a glimpse of how the bar and kitchen work and also how enthusiastic everyone else also is about Misti's food. My husband and I started with a couple drinks that hit the spot: my Bryan St. Swizzle was colorful and refreshing, and my husband's Cheri Cheri Lady was smoky and smooth. We split three food items that most intrigued us, and they were all delicious. Our favorite was the Unicorn Dog, which came with a flavorful sausage with a delightful snap atop a bed of the best crispy rice we've had in a while. Spam Musubi was definitely also an elevated version of the classic, and the potato noods were basically a baked potato in noodle soup form, which I loved. We were recommended the Sour Patch to go with the Unicorn Dog but honestly the pickles weren't super necessary IMO; the dish was already wonderfully balanced with the mustard and onions. We ended the night with the cinnamon toast crunch dessert which was a lovely cap to the meal. The whipped milk was super unique, though my husband did say he would've preferred a slightly sweeter semifreddo, which would also mimic the temperature of cereal milk better. Something to consider for a future dessert maybe! We'll find ourselves downtown a little more now that the fall sports season is getting under way, so I can't wait to come back when we're in the area and try other things on the menu!

The perfect bar for a romantic date night!…read more We stopped by Sylvestro for a pre-dinner drink before our reservation next door at Urbano. I love how intimate the bar feels, yet there is plenty of space between tables. Service was very friendly and patient! I got the Prickly Pear Sage Gimlet, which was perfectly tart and refreshing!

All were cooked perfectly. Service was a 10 and the ambiance was a 10. Drinks were great and they had every bourbon we asked for. I would definitely return with my spouse to spoil her.

HIDE Christmas Pop-Up Edition From the outside, HIDE was…read moresuper festive and eye-catching. Inside, there are two themed rooms: a toy-themed main bar and a Grinch-inspired second room, which I loved . There's also a rooftop, which I didn't make it up to see but adds to the overall appeal. The drinks were cute and very Christmas-inspired, which is perfect for the holiday vibe. Food-wise was a little less exciting. I had the Nashville hot dry-rub wings (waiter recommended). They were just okay. Definitely not the flavor I expected. I should've gone with the honey hot. The dirty fries, loaded with cheese, bacon, and peppers were really good, especially with ranch and ketchup . If you're looking for a cute holiday pop-up with festive décor and fun drinks, HIDE is worth checking out. Food and drinks start around $15 and up, so you're definitely paying for the experience

The bartender, Marco, was super nice and helpful. He said they had a patio but we didn't go check it out. They have a nice selection of Tequila which made me really happy. We had a couple of drinks along with a Michelada and beer. Marco gave some suggestions around the food so we ordered a couple of tacos and the chicharrones and guacamole. The food was good and the drinks were good. The prices were reasonable. The music playing over the speakers was upbeat and added to the vibe. We ended up hanging out for about 2-2.5 hours. We spent about $140 pre-tip. Marco said Friday and Saturday are really crazy crowded (they're open until 2). We will definitely visit again.
