Their cocktails are delicious and they keep the menu fresh by switching it up every few months while still keeping the classics. The mixologists know what they are doing, are very patient, and do a great job of explaining the cocktails to ensure you get what you're looking for. What a great addition to downtown Bismarck! We will absolutely be back!

This is hands down the best craft cocktail bar in Bismarck. The ambiance is really cozy and…read moreinviting. You enter an unpretentious door and go downstairs to the lounge. Smooth jazz music surrounds you as you sit on one of the four overstuffed couchs. If you're not lucky enough to snag a couch or a comfy chair, there are also half a dozen bar height tables, and 10 cushy seats at the bar. The drinks are really creative, as are the "glasses." The Tubby Taft gives a whole new meaning to the term "bathtub" gin. They don't have any food options but you can order/bring in food from either Nara Ramen or The Firepit both located above Oscar's. Service was almost instantaneous and really friendly and knowledgeable. Parking is also available in the same lot as Nara and the Firepit.

The food is great here if you get an opportunity to order food. They are very short on staff…read moresometimes they're open sometimes they're not. I had the southwest eggrolls and they were phenomenal. One of my friends had the wings. Those were phenomenal, but the bartender also has to cook so if you need a drink in between, then you have to go over to the other side, which is the hobo room and ask that gal to make you a drink or if you wanna punch in food, you have to go next-door to order it, which didn't make any sense to me. It is what it is. Everybody seems to be short on staff.

So first time here and got the recommendation from a local! Just opened in December of 2018 and…read morefirst thing I noticed is the trendy inside and kitchen tigh up front! I like it! I also noticed the over 130 types of bourbon and whiskey on the wall and 16 taps on hand if mostly craft beers! I sat at the bar where Chris was bartending and the service was excellent! He made food and drink recommendations and were hits! I had the hot Italian beef and I have to say it was a big portion and packed with flavor! The hand cut fries were also excellent! I wanted to try the wings as the person sitting next to me had them and they looked good! All meat is cured in house giving it that extra touch!

Tried the Shepherds pie and it was absolutely delicious and the epitome of comfort food. Service was attentive and friendly.

Our bartender was kind and helpful. I had a tasty old-fashioned while my hubby had a cucumber mule. The cucumber pioneer vodka used in the mule is very tasty, and we had a vodka soda with it as our second round. For dinner, we had a coleslaw-like salad with chicken on it. We had the chicken in the dragon, so Everything sauce, as it has the least amount of heat, and we enjoyed it. We recommend getting ranch and honey mustard as they are both excellent dressings. We also ordered the nachos, but I would not recommend them. The arrangement and quality of the toppings were not up to our standards. I am a nacho lover, and I ate like two of them because I could barely make any perfect bites.

We were asked to pay a cover upon entry ($10 each) and at first I was kinda meh about it, but the band playing was local and very good (well worth the cover and an extra tip!).

Shakers on 3rd is a cocktail bar that is simultaneously upscale and affordable. I was chatting with…read morethe bartender who summed it up as, "We want to be something for everyone." I noticed that their clientele included young people, middle aged people, and retirees. They have a traditional bar, high tables, low tables and comfy couches outside. They also have an upstairs area that they can open on weekends, but it wasn't busy enough on a Monday night to be open. Which brings me to one big advantage Shakers has: while lots of bars and restaurants have a dark night, they are open every day. Service was very friendly, and their menu specializes in martinis, they have several cocktail options available, as well as a full page of wine options. They don't have food, but you can bring in anything from the outside, and The Fire Pit is right next door if you like Bar-B-Que. The cocktails we had were well made, and delivered with a smile.
