Again, highly, highly recommend the class, or just stopping by for their amazing cocktails and ambiance - try the Pickle Lemonade! You won't regret it! Amazing!

The wait staff are all super fun and friendly and love making drinks and bantering with patrons. They have great knowledge of all the spirits made in house as well as the cocktails. Ready with recs! I have yet to try the spirits on their own but I can say the cocktails are delicious. My personal favorite being the martini. The space is small but ample. Has kind of a weird vibe with a hodge podge of decor but it's fun and interesting. Drink prices are fair/competitive/reasonable not just for the neighborhood but for the whole craft cocktail scene in general. Follow me on IG danny_runsforbeer

Was told about Pocket Square by a fellow Elite Squad member. My mom & I went to check it out on a…read moreFriday evening. We went shortly after they opened at 4 so it was pretty chill, not very busy. I remember this space from when it was Mountain Mudd when I was in high school. It's a smaller space but they do a bit of a patio when it gets nicer outside. Very simple decor inside. They have a few board games as well to play while you sip. We ended up sitting at the bar. We ordered 4 different drinks & a shot (total between 2 of us). Blue meanie - my fav of the 4 we tried. Sweet and a little sour. Watermelon Sugar - also good, refreshing tasted like watermelon candy Groovy Cherry - tasted just like a cherry limeade drink. I personally don't like cherry limeade but it was good. Georgia Peach - a little stronger but still good and peachy. Watermelon jolly rancher shot - good tasted just like the candy. Overall the drinks were simple but good. The staff were super nice and chill. The crowd was a bit older but overall a nice lounge.

There should be a portrait on the left wall which opens to another room. That room is a decoy, a nonfunctioning bathroom. There's a black door to enter to the secret bar. Beautiful bar and cozy seating. The service was amazing, my server was preparing a cocktail with a smoke bubble gun and we were curious about it. She brought it over to show us.

The food, service, and vibes were all amazing, and I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu!

Met up with some friends at Heather's for brunch this morning. We were seated right away despite…read morethe restaurant being busy. For our drinks, two of us had pineapple mimosas and the other had ube lemonade. Mimosa was good but I couldn't taste much of the pineapple flavor. Ube is one of my absolute favorite flavors but we couldn't really see the purple in the lemonade. Our entrees were the quinoa bowl, Buddha bowl, and farmer's market salad. The quinoa bowl was tasty and healthy. Friends liked their entrees and one took home the Buddha bowl. Service was friendly. Server recommended the gelato which sounded great but we had no room! FYI they have a 90 min dining limit but we're getting ready to leave when they came by our table.

Our second attempt we went on a Saturday right when they opened. We were greeted at the door and were told we can pick where we want to sit. It was decorated really cute for the theme everywhere, they had couches, more regular dining tables, barrel tables and bar seating. We opted for a barrel table. The menu for food and drinks were all changed to be named after SB related references which was really fun. We ordered a few drinks, mocktails and food. The food is more so bar food, bites. We ordered pickle roll up's, chicken lettuce wraps, onion rings and they were all very basic and imo not worth it for the prices. I'd prefer to eat some where before and then come here for drinks. The drinks were decent. A lot of them had bitters, which I'm not a fan of at all but I know it's very common at cocktail bars. I did find a few without and went with those. One was called campfire song song. It was like a s'mores espresso martini which I loved. Our waitress was really nice, attentive and in tune with the theme. I loved her enthusiasm. Overall it was really cute and I can tell beyond the theme it's a cute place to grab drinks with friends. I'd for sure come back for other themes or just to just out the normal vibe.

You wouldn't believe this cozy lounge was nestled in this strip mall in Otsego. We chose a few different drinks - a few signature cocktails, a flight from the specials menu, and a glass of Prosecco. The names were clever, the drinks were unique, and the staff was knowledgeable. The Parmesan Truffle Fries were crispy, meaty, and the jalapeño sauce gave them a nice kick. The Cowboy Corn Poppers (not pictured) were crunchy on the outside while creamy and flavorful on the inside. This was the perfect way to end the night with friends. We will definitely be coming back.
