    Stopped by with pals on V-Day after dinner. We were given complementary sparkling wine "for…read morevalentines day" which was incredibly kind! We loved the vibe and the cocktails were all incredible. Great selection. Most are $15-$16 (there's a small discount for cash) and everything we tried was very well balanced. There are quite a few tables and the bar is long, so I assume most nights it's easy to find a spot. It's definitely a great date spot and good for groups too. There's even a larger table near the entrance that could probably fit 8-10 people.

This time I was surprised to find out that they have a backyard filled with dangling lights, ceiling protectors, and plants. The interior is really nice as well with perfect sepia mood lighting. In the past, they've had live jazz and it is the perfect venue. Definitely date night vibes, but no requirements to dress up. I had the cutest cocktail and they even gave me the overflow in a smaller glass. Presentation- adorable. The guacamole was decent, no complaints or anything to rave about. I was just happy that the medium had a little kick to it. And the server was super nice. Constantly checked in and complimented us. She looked genuinely happy to be there.

    I've been trying to go to Sunken Harbor for over a year now. I don't know how it's possible but…read moredespite being local it always seems to have a private event whenever we have plans to go. The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.
