    Just won the drink ticket lottery
    Erich C.

    This bar is the best part about the Aloft hotel (certainly not their rooms). I love that we can take the elevator down and sit at the bar. If it's too busy, you can order a drink and sit at any one of the dozen couches and other seats that make up the lobby of the hotel. They even have Happy Hour! When I reserved our room here, I chose to get the "Sip 'n Stay" package which included two drink tickets for each day of your stay. Five days and we had 10 drink tickets (each at $9 face value), which they gave to me up front! This came in handy when we invited a bunch of friends to meet up there. I think we had six cocktails just for ourselves ;)

    In side the Aloft @ wxyz. Nice coffee table books.

    I checked the Wxyz bar on it's grand opening afternoon/night. The atmosphere inside was nice, modern, and upbeat. It is located within the new Aloft hotel and reminded me of a mini vegas-esque hotel in Tucson, which is a nice change from the norm. The drinks were not too shabby, I got an aged dark rum to sip on, not too steep of a price either. That all said, the outside area was not my favorite. 1. The patio furniture is cheap and the chairs were broken and unusable on the first night. They look cool and modern, but are of a very poor quality. 2. You cannot smoke outside. I am not a big smoker, but everyone in a while I like to enjoy a cigar or a cigarette (maybe once every few months.) That said, they have a strict no smoking policy, which may disappoint many potential patrons. 3. The lighting is miserable. Bugs are attracted to all of the really cool looking glowing cubes of light, but tend to get smashed by menus and drinks, leaving a nasty residue on the tables. The lighting is also below the customer and very bright, leaving you with an unflattering, bottom-lit view of your friends/date. This place has the potential, it is a great location and looks modern/refreshed. Hopefully they figure out what they are capable of and capitalize on it.

    A cool, calm bar scene. Clayton the bartender is great to talk to and such an awesome mixologist. They have a comprehensive selection of spirits and small, but well rounded wine and beer list. The place has a cool vibe. If I was a guest in the hotel, not just a bar patron, I would hang out here all day! It may be a hotel bar, but I will definitely be back!

    I'm happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit Unicorn Zebra since it's been on my list from…read morethe time they opened. It's a fun and also elegant atmosphere with the zebra theme clearly exemplified across the space. I would have to say this is one of the coziest bars I've been to, the furniture and seating is really supportive of a long-term visit. There are other levels, lower and an upper level besides the main space, but be aware that if there are parties, they can typically take up different areas. Our bartender, Sarah was fantastic! The way that she handled all of the guests and the busy field was incredible, so calm and collected, and furthermore making some really incredible drinks. Heads up that the online drink menu is not the current drink menu, I couldn't remember all the names of our drinks and put those in the photo captions, so when I checked on the website, the menu was showing something different other than what I saw at the bar. Out of several places I've been to, I'd say the mixture of flavors and details in the drinks are quite unique. I'll be back for more one day

    The decor, overall vibe, and drink menu are really fun, but the bartender we had kind of killed the…read moreexperience. We'd heard good things about this place and have been trying to support local downtown bars this summer, so we stopped in around 11 on a Friday night before heading home. As we sat down, we watched the bartender be pretty dismissive toward another group at the bar, so we were already a little unsure. We started talking about the decor because we liked the eclectic vibe. We jokingly pointed out that one of the pictures had a joint instead of a cigarette because someone in our group hadn't noticed. One of the bartender's first comments back, completely seriously, was, "I'm from San Diego. Have you never seen art before?" Honestly... what? It was such a weird, unnecessarily condescending response. I brushed it off at first as awkward banter, but it was a really strange first impression. The drinks were decent. The Loverlist was really good, and the Unicorn Fluff and Old Fashioned were fine. The bartender was quick to talk up their whiskey selection, but when we asked for a recommendation, she mostly gave reasons why she couldn't recommend anything and just kept saying they had "over 90 different options." Without a whiskey menu to look through, that wasn't especially helpful. We also asked for a shooter and were offered half of a cocktail instead. That would've been totally fine on its own, but combined with everything else, the service just never felt welcoming. We ended up leaving pretty quickly. I'd give the place another shot because the atmosphere is fun and has a lot of potential, but hopefully with a different bartender behind the bar.

I also did enjoy the no under 18 policy with how small the space is. While I imagine this is something that may upset some folks, it was nice to see that with the limited spaces they have to work with it would be reserved for those wanting a drink.

We managed to snag a couple of seats in a communal lounge area. I think it's the kind of place where many people come early for happy hour. It was also raining which made it impossible to sit outside, meaning the indoor seating area was pretty packed. We decided to lean into the sidecar of it all and order a classic prohibition sidecar. I don't think this was a traditional sidecar, which was surprising, but it was tasty. It's small, but it packs a punch. The bartenders here are very talented. Overall, I wish the space was a little bit bigger, but it's a great spot to grab a quick drink and enjoy some pizza from the spot next pdoor.

Fun fact, it used to be a mortuary which honestly adds to the whole slightly eerie, beautifully atmospheric charm in the best way. Why did it take me so long to get here?! Drinks aren't cheap but they are absolutely worth it. I had a non alcoholic drink that was divine and honestly didn't feel like an afterthought at all. So many little nooks to explore, but the courtyard under the palm trees was my favorite. On this visit, with moonlight, vintage architecture, and soft ambient lighting, it just felt unreal. All I could think was this is the perfect place for events, gatherings, or just lingering a little too long because you don't want the night to end.

Love the wall of chianti bottles that lead to the bar and love that the staff dress up in casual Prohibition garb. Came here for girl's night and it was everyone's first time even at the restaurant but mine. I'd had dinner a couple times in the restaurant for my birthday and had the cheese wheel fettuccine alfredo. I asked if anyone was interested in trying it and so 3 of us split it which ended up being pretty perfect. It is hands down THE BEST fettuccine alfredo. We had many drinks come to our table, the first round being the homemade limoncello. Made with local Meyer lemons, it is deliciously potent. A must try. The bartender, Ryan or Brian, he made cocktails from the heart. A couple of gals ordered "dealer's choice" drinks and they were inspired by the drinker's stories. It was really a unique experience for them and I could almost see his mind working out the chemistry of the libations. Another must try, although I didn't because I had to drive myself home. I did have a coffee with Bailey's, Amaretto, and freshly-made whipped cream. Last must try if not on a coffee drink maybe on a dessert. One person in our party thought that the drinks were on the spendy side. Many of the ingredients were house made and all top shelf. I'm from Los Angeles so an $18 drink was a normal night at the klerb. Worth mentioning if that would be a deal breaker. Worth a go. I thought it was better than the speakeasy at the Sonoran House which was too bright and not intimate. You really like feel more like you're not where you're supposed to be at The Still. There is a curio cabinet with cigars that I think are for sale. The speakeasy opens up to the patio for all the smoke suckers. Great for a small groups or date night, maybe not the first date.
