Kennedy used the bar's speaker system to publicly call us out over a 20% tip. Told us to use the ATM to tip more. If you didn't hit us with a trash maybe we would have LOL The bartenders were unprofessional, and publicly shaming paying customers is completely unacceptable and tacky

Great speakeasy. Nice for date night. Can be busy on weekends…read more Calling card no. 2 $20- nice large ice chunk. Like an old fashion base. Speckled moon $18- so so good nice and sweet. Angel envy pecan pie $9- pretty good. Nice shape, good to share.

The lovely Lily was performing tonight, good voice/ covers, which had me staying longer than I anticipated. Staff is young, energetic and all very friendly. Crowd totally mixed and just a good time. Love the decor too!!

Not a bad spot.

Very much a dive bar feel with cocktail bar prices...and the drinks are worth it, just threw me off a bit! Live music is a big thing here if that's your thing, and if it's not, just time it to avoid it. Bartenders are awesome, they'll take good care of you and can make some damn fine drinks.

Fantastic atmosphere but it is FREEZING…read more It's a large room with that library feel, but they decorate it so well that it doesn't feel too big. All the windows are wonderful but also make it so so cold in there you need to dress warm or you won't last long. There is a fire place in the center but it doesn't emit any heat unless you touch it. This is a great place to work at, catch up with a friend, or digest a drink. I think the drink service starts at 3 but the room is available way before that. It's off the left of the lobby and will have people working in it during the day.

The bartender - I wish I had gotten his name! - was fabulous. This is not a slingin' drinks scenario, this is finding the right cocktail for you so that you discover new flavors and enjoy something different. Shoutout to the excellent service from the Thursday night bartender! Finally, the mood gives me American-Gothic-meets-tartan-clan. It's classy and casual, a great date spot or 1:1 conversation with cozy nooks to curl up in to sip on a tasty beverage and snacks with a friend. I'll definitely be back.

Very chill spot and an eclectic crowd -- lots of options for cocktails and even some mocktails. I had a quirky cocktail that was very different and very delicious. I think some of the drinks are batched so you can't modify them all, but I promise they are GOOD. Our bartender was knowledgeable and I trusted her judgment based on what I was looking for in my drink.

This place was also down the block from our Airbnb so we could walk there. They had a lot of boozy coffee drinks and I really like that. I decided to try their Espresso Martini. This was our last bar stop prior to going out to dinner with friends. My drink had a house made espresso, Absolut vodka, Borghetti (coffee liqueur), a rich simple syrup, and coffee beans. My drink was rich and delicious and I absolutely loved their espresso. I do not recall what drinks my friends ordered. By the time we were leaving there was plenty of people in the place and appeared there was some sort of event gathering. We will have to come back here and with all the coffee drinks they had this may well be the place to start our day next time.

Must try: Signature Cocktails!…read more Why: What a neat experience enjoying some cocktails inside a restored church. The bar wall filled with liquor bottles ceiling high was like wow! I enjoyed the Revival Cathedral and Rhubarb Revelation specialty cocktails made with Heaven's Door Whiskey. Both were refreshing and went down smoothly. I didn't try any food but many folks around me seemed to enjoy their meals and drinks. Notes: I came on a Sunday around dinner time and it was packed. Luckily, I found a seat at the bar because someone was just leaving when I arrived. Bartender was welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive all while serving back to back customers. The decor, stained glass, chandeliers, and walls filled with bottles was really cool to see. Great ambiance for small or large groups. Tons of seating at bar, tables, and comfy side chairs. I'd like to come back with family and friends to enjoy other drinks and try their food next time.

Walking into The Last Refuge, there's a moment where you almost feel conflicted -- a bar inside a…read moreformer church carries a strange weight to it at first. The soaring ceilings, stained glass, and echoes of what the building once was make you pause and reflect. But then "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" came on, the drinks started flowing, the energy shifted, and suddenly you stop overthinking and simply admire the beauty of the space and what it has become. The atmosphere is stunning, moody, and unlike anywhere else. We originally ordered one of their signature drinks only to find out they couldn't serve it after the order was placed, but Alain handled it well and made things right with 30% off, which was appreciated. Also, huge thanks to Sean and Mike working security. Walk-ins were completely full for the night, and honestly without their help and kindness we probably never would've gotten a reservation. They treated us incredibly well and set the tone for a great evening. A memorable experience, beautiful setting, and a place that somehow balances reverence, history, and nightlife all at once.

No judgement, great set, just need to be able to have a conversation without yelling like an army sergeant.
