I don't live in Hastings anymore, but I did grow up here and was back visiting family. We were looking for a place near my nieces' hotel and happened upon this place. Now there were definitely no places like this in Hastings when I was making the rounds. But then, back in the day I probably wasn't looking for martini bars either. What a fun, friendly, and fantastic place. I think we came in four or five nights in a row and the owners couldn't have been friendlier. That's right, I said "the owners". They may have other staff as well but while we were there it was the owners who were bartending and serving, and they couldn't have been more welcoming. The drink menu was amazing from start to finish, (definitely have the (Blueberry Mojito) and the prices reasonable. I'm sure it's a Midwest thing but I appreciate being able to go out and enjoy myself without having to spend about a day's wages like when I go out on the East Coast. They really made it a great place to relax and have a cocktail or two at the end of the day . . . . obviously, since we kept coming back night after night . . . . and will definitely stop again on my next visit to Hastings. A couple other quick things before I end this. First, there is a bar menu where you can order from a nearby restaurant. Second, the artwork on the wall is fantastic. Something interesting to look at in every direction . . . . and you can buy it if you really like it. Usually in places where restaurants or bars double as gallery space the artwork is small and mismatched by multiple artists. Nothing wrong with that, but I find it distracting. Here the artwork was all by a single artist I believe, and larger enough that it seems part of the decor. And at least the ones near me seemed reasonable priced. (We sat at the same table every night, so I only saw a few up close.) There's one was one funk one that I might have bought if it weren't for the fact that I had driven here from DC and still had to drive back and had already spent more than I planned on the trip here . . . . and still had several stops planned for the return trip. (Graceland, Kentucky Bourbon Trail, Mammoth Cave . . . etc.) Final words, C'mon Hastings (and people just visiting), show this place the support it deserves . . . . and have a cocktail for me.

The Old Fashioned was decent, but it did lack the single cube that takes the cocktail to the next level. The small wedge salad was plenty and it was amazing. The Chicken and pasta dish was amazing.

The food began with a small plate of bacon wrapped shrimp with homemade bbq sauce that were fantastic. We then shared a small strawberry pecan salad that was very good.

We loved our bottle of Riesling... White Rabbit. Will definitely be having that again. And to end the night, we took home the most scrumptious crème brûlée! I can't wait until our next visit.

So first time ever being here and since it was a cold, rainy night in Grand Island, I thought,…read more"What the heck, it's time for a cocktail." Upon entering the place, you can tell that it's a newer, more-hip bar in the downtown area. After all, a lot of coworkers have praised it for it's novelty. It was a small, younger crowd (probably makes sense, since it was 8:00pm) with most of the patrons close friends of the serving staff. So I sat up to the bar, and asked for the drink menu. This is where it went a little weird. There was debate among the bartenders as to which menu I needed. Thinking all I wanted was a drink a... drink menu should suffice but I guess Infuse takes it one step further and offers multiple drink menus. Benefit of the doubt. Being that this place is considered a cocktail bar, I discussed options with the bartender and finally thought nothing better than the classic: an Old fashioned. besides, there well bourbon is Bulleit: Now we're rolling. I ordered one up, excited for the outcome, and here came the friendly banter between the bartenders. Only this time, I couldn't tell if the observer was putting in his two cents or if he was actually trying to tell my gal how to make the drink which left an awkward atmosphere for a few moments. Oh well, it was easy to forget when the drink came but once more I was puzzled! It came in a snifter glass. Ok, I like to consider myself as a purist (but I'll take an orange peel and cherry over lemon any day) so I just thought this was totally absurd but in the end, it's just a drink so I'll finish it and move on. Overall, I think this is what Grand Island needed: a newer, trendy bar to draw in a younger crowd, downtown. Although, I would describe it as "growing pains" in one word (well two... the old fashioned was strong so bonus points to that). Look, a bar shouldn't be like a hair salon. I don't want each person's take on a drink. The bar tenders should be consistent with the standards set by the bar unless custom orders are requested. Also, keep it simple. Drink menus for drinks. Food menus for food. With small fixes, Infuse could be the busiest, happening place in downtown GI.
