I chose "Marianna's Marvelous Old Fashioned" which was delicious and also strong. Staff was really nice, and I felt comfortable there.

It looks like you can even buy the books here. They also have some small bites and mocktails in addition to craft cocktails. I got their take on the old fashioned, which included orange and chocolate biscotti liqueur and cherry syrup. It was definitely more sweet than a typical old fashioned, however I enjoyed it, and it was prepared very well--spirit heavy. This was a nice sipper and service was great, no complaints!

Leftover holiday décor (maybe from multiple holidays?) and a setup full of TVs, a pool table, and darts gave it more of a sports bar feel. To their credit, the bar itself is impressive, and the cocktail menu is clearly curated with intention. But overall, it feels more like a dressed-up dive bar than a polished spot. We played pool and had a good time, but honestly, it might serve them better to embrace the casual scene and rebrand--maybe just "The Lion"--to better fit the crowd and vibe. There's potential here, just needs clearer direction.

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, I love this bar." That in itself could be the review, but I'll go on. It's a pretty big space with plenty of tables. While it definitely has a stuck in time (1990's) vibe it's clean and well kept. Great draft beer selection too. (BTW you can buy cigarettes from behind the counter if you're into that) The owner is usually there and so lovely. A place for regulars. A great neighborhood bar. Large screens project everything from football, to wrestling to basketball etc and some screen are at your request. There's a very nice covered heated patio, making it a great spot all year round. If you're in this area (96th & L) stop in and you won't be disappointed.

(Just because someone put their name in 30 minutes after I sing my first song, and it's before my second song doesn't mean that they can go first. Grrr, hate that.) The drinks are cheap & strong. I felt tipsy after one and a half and I'm no light-weight. The people are descent, not too many sceezy people, a good mix of ages (from 21-50 or so), And if you should be there for karaoke, they are not bad singers either, so you won't go deaf. The staff is friendly and fun too. The best part is that this place is hardly ever crazy packed. There may be rare times that it is, but I've only seen that happen maybe twice. (PS-Singing's on Saturday's and they're thinking of doing it on Wednesday's too. )

The Old Fashioneds are some of the best I've had anywhere, and Aaron is one of the most talented mixologists in the city. In fact, Aaron is a big reason many people keep coming back. He's exceptional at what he does, and every drink reflects that level of skill. The espresso martinis are fantastic, but the "Not Espresso Martini" was an unexpected favorite that kept us coming back. One of the things I love most is that the menu changes seasonally, giving us a reason to come back and work our way through the new cocktails to find our latest favorite. The bartenders are knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about their craft. The atmosphere is cozy, intimate, and full of character. There are actual typewriters throughout the space, which perfectly fits the literary theme and adds to the experience. As a fun touch, my friend always receives a book with her receipt and reads a random paragraph before we leave. It's those little details that make Inkwell feel like a hidden gem rather than just another bar. If you're looking for creative cocktails, talented bartenders, and a unique atmosphere, Inkwell is absolutely worth a visit. Such a vibe.

Drinks are solid and consistently well made. Nothing gimmicky, just good cocktails done right. The ambiance is fair but comfortable, and the size makes it ideal if you're looking to have a real conversation with someone without yelling over music or crowds. Location is another plus. It's very convenient if you want a drink before or after a Westside game, or just need a low-key stop nearby. If you're after a cozy, intimate spot with good drinks and a relaxed vibe, Inkwell Bar delivers.
