Tonight, I went to FirstLive for the first time to watch my friend play. My sister, my friend and I arrived early, and were instantly and warmly greeted by one of the staff members (I presume the owner). At first thought, I couldn't help but think how adorable this place was. It was dimly lit with colors everywhere. There are couches in the main bar area, where you can be cozy while you enjoy your drink. The whole vibe of this venue felt very much like you were being invited in to someone's home. The bartender was super sweet as well, and gave each of us a small tasting of amaro, complimentary. We came during Happy Hour, so the drinks didn't end up costing that much for the quality that they were. My strawberry basil highball (Diva's Dilemma) was absolutely delicious, and didn't even taste that strongly of alcohol, which I say is a sign of a perfectly done drink.
I will absolutely be coming here again. Go check it out if you're in the area! read more
