Stopped in for a quick drink with a friend before dinner and immediately loved the atmosphere. Dark, candlelit, and just a little bit moody. It felt like sneaking off to do something slightly forbidden in the best way. Great space, great vibe, and the kind of place you want to linger just a little longer than planned.

After getting some horrible cocktails down the street, Grain saved the night! Jess behind the bar was fantastic and the Super Duper Old Fashioned was indeed Super Duper. Thank you!

Lizzy was our waitress, she was so nice and accommodating. Loved this Speakeasy hidden within this marvelous restaurant at Playa Provisions. Cocktails were excellent, try the Liam's Old Fashion

Unico Mixers - She is STUNNING!

Unico Mixers

(37 reviews)

We had an incredible experience with Unico Mixers for our daughter's Sweet 16! From their…read moreprofessionalism to their ability to hype up the crowd and keep the energy going, they were an absolute hit with our guests. Every drink was delicious, from their homemade juice mixes to the beautiful garnishes. You can truly tell they put care and creativity into what they do! One thing I especially appreciated was their attentiveness and responsibility in ensuring alcohol was never in the hands of minors. That level of care and professionalism meant so much to us as parents hosting a Sweet 16. I would HIGHLY recommend Unico Mixers for any event where you want fun, professionalism, amazing drinks, and an unforgettable experience all in one. They helped make our celebration extra special, and we couldn't have been happier with their service!

We used Unico Mixers for our daughter Greyson's bat mitzvah in May, and I cannot say enough good…read morethings. Of every vendor we hired, Marie was the one I never had to worry about. She started helping months before the party. She sent me exact quantities for everything I needed to buy, down to how many cases of soda and how many bottles of red versus white. I asked her a hundred questions over a few weeks about ice, cups, pour sizes, timing, and she answered every single one quickly and patiently. That kind of hand holding is worth its weight in gold when you're planning something this big. Day of, they showed up organized and ready. Beer, wine and soda outside for cocktail hour, then the full bar opened inside at 7, and the transition happened without me lifting a finger. She brought her own ice chest. The bar area was spotless the entire night. Not once did I see a line back up. The drinks were the star. Guests came up to me all night to tell me how good the margaritas and lemon drops were. People were still talking about them weeks later. Marie also made custom menu cards that matched our theme perfectly, and when we asked to rename a cocktail to fit, she did it happily. At the end of the night, unopened bottles came home with us exactly as she said they would. No surprises, no upcharges, no stress. If you are planning a wedding, a bat mitzvah, or any event where you want one less thing on your mind, hire Unico Mixers. Marie and her team made our daughter's night better, and I would book them again in a heartbeat.

Warning this will be a long review as I think they are worth every penny and more! The best…read morecocktail experience I have ever had! I was a little surprised and thought it was funny when I saw in thier Yelp description that they just flat out put some of their pricing in their bio. That is very upfront-already they were out of my price range as I have hired bartending companies in the past and was just looking for maybe 2 signature cocktails and some standard packages. The owner (Mikey) told me that they offer an incredible cocktail experience and perhaps their services wouldn't suit my needs. Really straightforward and honest. Gave me some good advice about my own party with no pressure and told me to check out their Instagram page for perhaps a future event. Just for fun I checked out their website videos and Instagram and I was in awe or even addicted to their beautiful cocktails. My husbands and our friends all watched the videos and read the reviews. I was so worried- they sounded too good to be true (Instagram beautiful, but disappointing in person). So we kinda all pitched in to hire these guys-we just decided to go all out and ordered EVERY recommendation! We never ordered glassware or tables before and Mikey told us exactly what to order-he was like a wedding coordinator for bars! We got these crazy images printed on rice paper and handmade candy butterflies that looked like really jewelry-just blown away! They were the stars of the party and the vendors. Even the vendors wanted drinks. They had this service where they would just create on the spot which definitely was a pricey option but wow what an experience! It was like a Michelin star cocktail that had Instagram worthy looks all you can drink buffet experience! Every drink that left the bar everyone-would try to take a picture of it. I mean I even saw someone taking a picture of a drink off someone else's phone gallery lol!! Even my wine snob friend and manly beer drinkers wanted in. We are all still talking about the drinks and how passionate they were. Even water and non-alcoholic drinks they left the bar looked too pretty to drink. I swear I heard people saying they felt bad drinking the cocktail's because they were too beautiful! I know this is a long review but I wanted to tell people how amazing this team is. They put everything into each cocktail. I mean you just have to experience it to understand it-it's what Michael told me but wow it's true. Thank you BTG for creating the best cocktail experience ever! I think I will forever be spoiled.

Michael is truly an artist! Every drink he makes is a piece of art, very very impressive! He is…read moredefinitely the star of the event! It doesn't matter if it's a cocktail or mocktail, everyone in your event will be blown away and busy taking pics of every drink! If you have any event like wedding, birthday party or just a gathering with 10+ guests, I highly recommend you having Michael there!
