    Perfect combo of cozy and classy. Ordered an espresso martini and it was excellent - smooth and balanced, and just the right kick of coffee without being overly sweet. You can tell they know their cocktails here! Service was friendly and attentive, the space itself feels warm and inviting with a relaxed, lounge type vibe. It's the kind of spot that works just as well for a casual drink as it does for a more dressed up night out. Great find for cocktails!

    The drinks are amazing and very high end! The service is great and the bartenders are very attentive! The vibes are classy and it feels like a speakeasy as soon as you walk in!

    We met some friends here for pre-dinner drinks and this was the perfect place! Pros: We got there around 5pm on a Saturday and got a pretty big booth to fit all of us! They had a great cocktail menu, but the bartenders were also very accommodating to other requests (like my dirty martini). I personally liked that there wasn't loud music at this bar during our visit so that it was still easy to talk to our friends. I've seen on their board outside that sometimes on weekdays they even have fun events happening, which I'd love to try someday. Cons: all of our drinks took a little longer to make, which didn't bother me because we were there for a while, but I'd make sure you take that into account if going with a bigger group or need to account for time. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely! They made great drinks and is also in a great location to walk to nearby restaurant afterwards.

    What a wonderful bar to come in with friends and enjoy a very chill time. The eclectic decor and comfortable seating helps to make your time there to be memorable. A definite stop for those looking for a unique place to have an evening out.

    Such a great evening tonight. Perfect speak easy vibe here. They had different cozy rooms and so much comfortable seating. You are truly transported to the past, you have to come here to fully appreciate it. Drinks are great and so are the staff.

    I usually love their Mocktail but I did order the one on the menu this time vs having the bartender use their own creativity. The Mocktail in my opinion was lacking flavor and really just tasted like sparkling water. The drinks are always so pretty and I love the environment. A few more Na options would be great though!

    Great cozy atmosphere for an after work drink! Love the vibe of this place with soft leather chairs and warm lighting. You can also tuck into a little booth for something more intimate. If you prefer outdoor seating there are a few spots out on the sidewalk. If you sit up front by the windows the music can be a little loud...but that's offset by the great people watching! Nice seasonal selection of craft cocktails plus your standard offerings plus beer and wine. Bartenders are friendly and obviously enjoy their craft.

    I really didn't care for this bar. It was tight in there and the free drink they had tasted a mess, it was nasty and gross. Walked up the long steps you go to the upstairs bar, it's right up there as well with big chairs. Once it gets crowded it gets hot. It needs more air circulation up there. I did like the sink tho. The event itself was great.

    We just came for drinks but LOVED it, it's such a vibe, the drinks were delicious and the perfect amount of alcohol. The decor is really cool, I loved the books and brick. We didn't go upstairs but with the right company it's still fun!

    It's giving speakeasy--but once you're inside, good luck making it to the bathroom without dodging a full-blown dance party. Not totally sure if it's a lounge or a club at this point. The Riesling is my favorite wine to get here, and the bartenders are always on point. That said, not sure if I'll be back--I'm really looking for more chill vibes these days.

    Shelly L.

    Cozy and quiet in the afternoons/early evenings and loud and hopping at night, just what you want in your favorite downtown bar. Tuck yourself away in an oversized booth or belly up to the bar, Joyners has all the moods covered plus bartenders that know how to mix a drink. This is where I go when I want great drinks and ambiance. Think vintage feel, dark woods and leather.

    Drinks were fine, but the bar tender was not helpful. The prices were too high for poor service.

From the minute we walked in, we were greeted promptly and seated at our reservation time. They even had handbag clips to put on the edge of the table so we didn't have to put our purses on the floor - loved that! Everything we ordered tasted so good! We got the Rice Paper Tacos as appetizers. They came out looking like art on a plate and they were very gracious to tell us that there's not a wrong way to eat it. I got the Korean BBQ Beef as my entree and it hit the spot! My friend got the Modern Tuna Nicoise as her entree and it looked too pretty to eat, but she said it was delicious! For dessert we got the Passion Fruit Panna Cotta. It was the best way to end the night. We enjoyed our meals and the service was top-notch! Ambiance was nice-we sat in the outdoor area and they had a nice simple table display with a small table lamp that I was intrigued by. I'd never seen one so small but what I liked about it was that it didn't take up space on the table. Usually, the displays take up more space than the food sometimes, so I appreciate the little details. If you've never been to Betty on Burke-you must! I was very pleased with my experience and will definitely come back. PS- they validate parking so you don't have to pay the 3rd party parking system in their lot- HUGE plus!

I asked for a taste of all three white wines. I had trouble deciding. I landed on the Sauvignon blanc which was yummy. Chenin blanc and Chardonnay were great too. I had the chicken stacker salad. It was even part tostada and lettuce. Flavor was good. Not overly dressed. The chicken was a little chewy. Would love to come back!

I had looked at the instagram page before arriving and saw a drink that I wanted to try. I couldn't remember the name when I got there and asked for the drink menu. I was given a look that made me feel like I was wrong for asking for it. One of the patrons was nice enough to show me a basket with menus in it. I ordered the drink and went to find a seat with my friends. Even though it was fairly crowded, there was ample seating. One of my friends ordered the $5 old fashioned and ended up ordering several more. Definitely a great deal for the price and alcohol ratio. I chose the hoopla and then a sidecar. Both were well executed. I wanted to try some of the food, but unfortunately we had eaten before arriving. Several people we spoke to said the jerk wings were a must try so I'll definitely come back for those! Outside of the first interaction with the bartender, the other one was very pleasant and continued to serve us with no issues.

    For a Friday night, it was surprisingly quiet when we walked in--but to be fair, it was close to…read more11:00 PM, so maybe it gets livelier earlier or later. A few people were playing card games at one table, others were hanging out near the pool table, and a handful were just vibing to the music at the bar. They have an extensive beer list and some fun New Orleans-style tropical cocktails. I was happy to see an Aperol Spritz on the menu--and it was made properly, so I ended up ordering a second one. It seemed like a few friends of the bartender came in and started picking the music, which shifted into a mix of dance tracks and rap. The vibe fizzled out a bit after that, so we decided to head out. Overall, it could be fun little spot, we will check back later. If you're in the area and miss Hoots Brewery, definitely check out Bar Nola. I can only imagine how great their Mardi Gras party must be or Super Bowl day. On the other end of the building, there's a huge open space with beautiful hardwood floors and a another bar. It looks like the kind of venue where you could easily host a party with a live band--maybe they even rent it out for weddings or holiday events, though I'm not sure if it's officially part of the bar. There's also a large outdoor area with a TV and an uncovered bar, but since it was cold last night, everyone stayed inside. It seems like you can take your drinks out into the alleyway between the two buildings. Definitely a beautiful area to be when the weather is nice.
