Interesting menu for cocktails. Very unusual and unique recipes. With down ingredients I've never heard of. Definitely crafting their cocktails. Service was great, the owner sits at the bar with customers which was cool. We scanned the menu but stuck to the classic Negroni which was made perfectly and their version of an espresso martini made with salted coconut foam. A very strong drink and I loved that foam! Good take on it. We had a great time enjoying our cocktails and listening to the music amongst our own conversations. Nice and chill place to hang out . Inside was cool with great artwork. They also had a patio too. I was glad to see they stayed busy til they closed at 1am. Really enjoyed finally checking this place out.

Lots to choose from on the menu. Came for the espresso martini, but it wasn't it for us. The fernet…read morebranca was off-putting. Definitely a unique take, but I didn't like the menthol/minty flavor. The peach beach drink was fun, but would've loved to see it just on the rocks & not frozen (perhaps an option?) - fun little beach ball stress ball on it, though! The staff was friendly and informative, as well as attentive. Also, the cheez-its were delicious as a snack. Cool spot for a cocktail with friends or a date. Room at the bar and tables, plus outdoor seating. Not sure the status on the pool table if you have to pay per game, but they do have one.

We both got salmon and the Whipped ricotta appetizer. The ricotta was delicious and I loved that it came with mint leaves. It was delicious and we scarfed that down with our beers. I had Marigold Hefe isen, which was DELICIOUS. So I had 2. They had a fantastic wine list and I was going to get a white wine from Chile but at $14, I didn't want to blow my dates wallet out. So instead I had the 2 beers. Let's talk about our delicious salmon. It was cooked perfect and served w cut asparagus on a bed of buttery orzo. I ate every little asparagus piece, it was so good and lemon butter flavored. The salmon was a lightly grilled piece of heaven. A big piece. I was a little miffed it had no lemon slice but the entire salmon was basted or braised with a lemon sauce. Every bite was divinely lemon. It was probably the best salmon I've ever had. Such a lovely visit. Nice interior and spacious and people seemed to be having fun at the bar. This location is a very lovely place!

The wine selection is impressive and they have great cocktails, typically seasonal rotating options as well. I enjoyed the caviar and chips option, flatbread pizza, and brussels. It was martini night which was a great deal on traditional martinis and the cosmo was delicious. The drawback to this location is parking can be difficult, so plan accordingly for your arrival time in case you have to search for street parking.

There's a podium outside with someone at the door, and once you're in, the host leads you through a storage area and behind what looks like a commercial freezer door. From there you get a little spiel about the theme and the mission -- find the hidden door. Technically a speakeasy situation and it works. Once inside, the aesthetic delivers. Velvet seating, low lighting, an upscale bar setup. It's sexy in there in the best way. Plenty of seating and room to breathe on a non-event night, though the bar area is standing only. Drinks were good -- I had what I believe was the Siesta and enjoyed it. My partner ordered something I can't remember the name of, but it came in a container so comical that watching them drink out of it was genuinely entertaining. It also came with a cookie on the side, which was a cute touch even if it was a little stale. This was a ticketed event so I'm not sure if reservations are required on a regular night, but I'd come back to explore the space on a calmer evening. The venue has real potential outside of a packed party setting.

I ignored all of this since there was no getting in the way of my good time but when another person said the same thing, I was like omg, same feeling here! I'm absolutely astounded that this sort of attitude, service and treatment to patrons is allowed. They were all there watching it. This is a reflection on the AC hotel brand and not the "bar". It was so bad that I went out of my way to personal tip one individual through cash app because they share tips. I just couldn't. AC hotels, please do better.

Weather is gorgeous and ambiance was nice and soothing. There were quite a few people at the place.. However, there's only one bartender working.. She had to service about 8 people at the bar including myself.. She was overwhelmed but she kept her cool. She had to make the drinks, delivers the food and try to restock everything all at once.. I really wish Cordial would've handle staffing better. Since this is not the first time I been to this location. They alway seem to be short handed. And the bartender seem to be doing everything. I ordered tomatoes & Prosciutto Toast. Definitely not my favorite. Toast wasn't warm nor do it has a nice crust. Overall soggy. The tomatoes just tasted like tomato paste. Nothing special. I truly enjoyed the ambiance. I just feel bad seeing she had to handle everything herself.

If you tell them what you're looking for, they are sure to recommend something you'll love or answer any questions you might have. They also have $6 mystery shots, which are so fun and, 10 out of 10 times, delicious! We came in at a slower, earlier time, but later on and during the weekends, it really fills up. It's such a fun environment with plenty of room to stand and enjoy the music or sit and enjoy your cocktail. It's the perfect spot for after-dinner drinks or as a pre-game before an event. This time around, we tried the "Summer '16" and "Berry the Evidence"--both were incredible. Such a fun spot!

Being there felt like I was in my house, from the plants, to them playing Beverly Hills Cop on the projector and all of the Black artists on the walls. It was very refreshing!!! It's so rare to go to a business and see anything familiar so this was truly inspiring. We stayed for about 30 mins because we got there right before they closed. It was fun to explore the hotel rooms and just be in this dope energy. I didn't have a full cocktail, just sipped and tried a few of my friends. I can see this being a great date night spot, or some where to go to unwind and just catch the vibes. I wish it was bigger but it's a cute spot for sure!! I was super surprised about the parking lot in the back too. That has to be very helpful for them in Plaza Midwood area. Will definetly be back!!

The issues we faced were not having a reservation - the options online were wide open so we thought it was safe to show up - and had to wait a long time. In hindsight, I should've went ahead and made the reservation, so I'll take responsibility, but was disappointing for the experience to be so different than we expected. We were able to sit outside and waited for about 40 mins to get our table. Service was very slow. It just felt like they were really understaffed. We were there for probably 2ish hours and only got 1 drink (the one outside) as it was so hard to flag down our waitress, etc. I suspect that this place, having recently received awards / gone viral, is a victim of a huge influx of people stopping by. I wanted to love it! I'd go back during off hours and definitely make a reservation. The vibe was really cool, and the music was great. Parking is questionable, there's a gravel lot that is shared with the restaurant next door. We parked on the street, was unclear if they tow there or not.

I had the wagyu skewers which were seasoned to perfection and as tender as could be. I inhaled the crab cakes before taking a picture which is an indication of how good they were. The Crunkleton never disappoints!
