We're frequent visitors and…read moreabsolutely love spending time on the patio to enjoy an ice cold beer or one of their delicious cocktails. They have local beers and my personal favorite cocktails are the Little Prince and the Dirty Sprite. It's perfect for your first drink or to end the night at (especially with an apple pie shot or two). I really cannot recommend it enough! The best part about Finks, though, is the staff. They always recognize us and make sure we feel super welcome, which is much appreciated! That kind of hospitality makes us always want to go back

We had heard so many good things about this place so it's too bad that wasn't our experience. We…read morewalked in around 5:30 on a Sunday, feeling very awkward as this was our first time here. Nobody greeted us. They just continued talking and we took a seat. We looked up the menu on our phones. It was nice for the bartender to notice this and give us physical menus. Drinks were nothing special but strong. Bartender was nice and checked in on us. The music was way too loud for me to talk to my friend in a close distance. Also disappointing not to hear music in spanish when you're at a latin lounge. The best part about our visit was definitely the flautas. Juicy chicken with a perfectly crunch tortilla. Served the right way with crema, lechuga, and salsa. Would only come for the food next time.

They do a tremendous job of explaining the menu and food options in detail, and ensure you have a great experience from start to finish. The drinks? Nothing short of amazing. They vary the featured cocktails menu every 8 weeks, so most likely you'll get a different experience every time you go. However you can always get your classic cocktails like Margaritas, French 75 and Martinis. They also can do any drink NA which is the first of its kind in the US. They have an option called dealers choice, where you can pick the spirit and flavor profile of the drink you want: spicy, sour, floral, smoky etc. no limits! You write down on a card what you want and they craft you a cocktail based on your selections. They also offer a variety of food pairings to go along with the select, featured drink you order. We got spring rolls, a braised, pork infused doughnut, and an incredible bone broth that still has me in a tizzy. Fair warning: it's small and difficult to get a reservation - don't try your luck walking in, this place is a hot ticket and you won't be able to get in without a resy, which could be weeks or months out. This is a true gem of a cocktail bar, and is as good as anything you would find in New York or Chicago.

From the outside it is so bland and you are truly unsure if you are walking into an abandoned building or a crappy towny bar. Once you enter, it may take your eyes a moment to adjust if you are coming in from a bright sunny day. Foundation Bar has super low lighting, very moody. There is ample seating and a few different seating options; bar stools, booths, high top tables. Seat yourself. To order drinks you walk up to the bar. There is not table service. The decorations here are great! There are some really incredible pieces and collections! Some I would love to have if I could find them. This is a very laid back atmosphere, very chill not loud or overbearing so relax and enjoy the ambiance. I believe my drink was called El Diablo and was very good.

The cocktails are exceptional. Every drink feels carefully crafted, with unique flavor combinations that still remain approachable.

Whether you're going for a date night, catching up with friends, or just want a high-quality cocktail, Tied House delivers every time.

I'd complain about the pricing because $13-$15 for a 1.5oz shot of Tito's is crazy imo, BUT for the elevated yet relaxed atmosphere? Fine. And I'm not ordering a shot of Tito's when literally everything we tried on their menu was FANTASTIC. The flavors were original and creative. I love the variety of glasses, and the garnishments. Negatives: our waiter brought our check before even asking if we were done. He didn't come back. I eventually had to go to the bathroom and caught up with someone else that could help me as I wanted to get a small bottle of the Banana Ramma to go home. That made up for it. Overall, loved the experience! Not a place to go often unless you have the (which, I'm jelly bc I absolutely would be here more). But a great place for a special night out.
