I went to this bar with a friend who is a regular patron. I ordered a drink that was on "special"…read moreand fortunately paid with cash. When the bartender, Becky gave me my change, I asked for clarification on why my drink cost what it did. She immediately turns around towards the register as she explains why it costs what it did, and grabs a dollar to slam down in front of me. I didn't ask for this. But since we're talking dollars, I'm owed $3 more. I simply asked for an explanation. And when I asked her to repeat what she said because I didn't hear her response, she berated me; "oh my gawd, how many f$*&ing times do I have to repeat myself? Are you a f^%$ing idiot?" To which I responded, "woah I'm just trying to understand why my $5.50 drink cost me $9.50! After that I just saw red. I abruptly pushed the incorrect change off the bar and walked out. At the door I said "I see why this f#%*ing bar is empty! (There were 2 other people in the bar at the time at 1030pm on a Saturday) I was livid! And though I feel that was an appropriate response to the verbal assault from Becky, I do wish in the moment I just walked out without saying anything. This is the service you can expect from The Cove. Where the owner cares more about being a "bar owner" than he cares about how his customers are actually treated. Having worked in the service industry myself, I was genuinely taken aback by Becky's response to a very basic question, asked in a perfectly appropriate manner. When I'm off of work and trying to unwind at a local dive at the end of a long week, I won't pay to be treated that way. There's no need for it. P.S. Don't open a tab here!

It is an intimate space, rectangular, with about 10 or so small tables and room for about 10 at the bar. Along with the laid back crowd, allowing you to hear the people you're drinking with, this place won me over big on its vibe. But we don't visit bars just for the vibe and the company, we go for some drinks. They have a small list of signature cocktails, but of course, you can ask for what you want. I got the Blueberry Pomegranate Martini. The liqueur in it was really smooth and tasty. For its simplicity it was also adorned with actual blueberries. Sounds good so far, so why the lack of the fifth star? The service was very friendly and professional but drinks were churning out slow, despite the numerous bartenders at the moment. After a few drinks we were attended by a different bartender. Johnny personally introduced himself prior to grabbing our order. He made it a point to provide attentive service and recommend drinks. He was very knowledgeable and familiar with the menu. Great guy! Overall, intimate cozy space, striving for a classy look, great tasting drinks, best for couples, and average priced drinks. I am looking forward to going back, but might go on a weekend. I could see this being a go-to spot for people who live nearby and like higher end cocktails.
