Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

The drinks were not only delicious but beautifully crafted with an elevated presentation that really stood out. Every detail felt intentional and well done. They went above and beyond to make sure that our celebration was one to remember! An unforgettable experience all around. Highly recommend Bespoke for celebrations or just a great night out. We'll definitely be back! Thank you Bespoke!

They cater to your drink taste and will make a cocktail based off of it. So I ended up with a cocktail that had a similarity to a whiskey sour. Was good well mixed and balanced. If you go during a show or event you'll pay an artist fee so keep that in mind. Also you'll have to book in advance to get a seat. Good spot for a date nite or to mingle with friends even better when a band or dj that plays a genre based music. 5/5 drinks ask the bartender for drink recommendations the do pretty good with it 5/5 ambiance and upkeep reminiscent of a 20's bar 5/5 bartenders and friendly staff 4/5 price point is slightly upscale but it's not bad

Overall, it's a very nice chill spot to hang out and drink at and you can play games. I would also recommend asking for the Fresno Water

It's a cool place to check out if you're in downtown Fresno and want to go somewhere with friends for drinks without alcohol.

Inside was so much smaller than I expected but the decor and music made it really chill and intimate in a comfortable way. We had four drinks in total and I'll review them below: -Kola Fashioned: had a strong cardamom flavor but the bartender warned us of that. Did not reflect the flavor of a typical old fashioned, but it was spiced, crisp, and refreshing. -Espresso Martini: honestly this could have had alcohol in it, it was so similar to other espresso martinis I've had. I was shocked by how creamy it tasted considering it was a very dark espresso martini. -Chili Margarita: really didn't taste anything like a margarita. It was carbonated, light, and refreshing. The Tajín rim was my favorite part of it and I didn't really get any spice in the drink. -Mint Mojito (Calme): this was hands down the best mint mojito I've ever had. I will go back purely for this drink.

We stopped in here just for a beer yesterday because (1) we realized we hadn't been in for about 15…read moreyears; (2) we heard the beer was better than it had been 15 years ago and in fact had won awards. Mid-Saturday afternoon there were a few other customers but it was by no means crowded. We were able to walk right up to the bar and order right away. In retrospect, we should have tried a couple of different beers but we were both in the mood for / curious about the (aforementioned award winning) Big Daddy IPA. It was a good IPA and much better than the beer was 15 years ago, when we used to come for events but eventually stopped because (back then) the beer was just not good. It's really good now. The space feels a lot bigger and is more open now which is good for events. The decor is dark / painted black, with some skull themed decor. When we were there they were setting up for an "extreme metal" event but we left before it got underway. Next time we go I want to try the new Fresno State themed beer. I think it's called "Victory" something and is a blonde ale iirc. It's a nice brewery, comfortable and convenient with good beer, and we will be back. It would get a fifth star if they offered some food or had a food truck onsite. :) At my age it's hard to drink on an empty stomach-- I get intoxicated too easily...

My friend's matchatini was delicious! A great balance of matcha. My mocktail was soooo good. Just a bit too much ice but the drink itself was very good. I would order that again.

We were there a little earlier than the night crowd so we had a bit of space and "quiet" time to ourselves in the back for quite some time, took our pics and whatnot. They have a lot of areas that would make for great photo ops for sure. We all ordered different drinks. White Lotus, Havana Mule, & Matchatini. I think we all unanimously agreed that the Matchatini was the best out of the bunch but they were all pretty good... the White Lotus being the strongest out of the bunch. Our waitress was very nice as well and suggested the Matchatini to the birthday girl, which she was already eyeing so that sealed the deal. I don't remember any food options on the menu, for those wondering... we had just came from dinner so that didn't matter to us but it's good to know for next time. The music... was interesting lol. Not something I'd want to listen to all the time but the DJ enjoyed himself. I hope that was just that night and not the music choice every night... Overall, we enjoyed our time here. Very cute spot for a girls night (and date night).
