Split Eights: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing quality drinks with exquisite flavors! I don’t remember the name of the raspberry drink but the butterscotch espresso martini was divine. On the pricey side but a cozy and intimate place to grab a quick drink.
Stopped in for a quick cocktails before a play, and they cocktails were so good we went back after the play. Cool relaxed vibe, friendly service and good music. If you want to chill somewhere with excellent cocktails (thanks to competent bartenders), this place is a must visit.
Really enjoyed this local bar! They’ve got tasty drinks and quick service from kind bartenders. Love all the dark alcohol forward drinks, so many bars neglect to give these the attention they deserve. Look for the googly eyes hidden around the bar!
Wonderful place, our bartender was very kind and explained some more information on the menu for us. We did not feel like we were judged for asking questions. For 2 drinks it ranged about 45
Awesome little find! During the day it operates as a cafe with really good coffee and pastries. Then they shut down and transform into cocktail mode at night with great, creative drinks. Both are really chill vibes and you can't go wrong day or night.
A really cozy dark coffee shop with cocktails. The service is like a bar. Very clean restrooms. Perfect atmosphere for the coffee/cocktail theme.
Came here for a night out with a coworker and the environment was very cozy and it was easy to have a good conversation. The bartender was great and made each drink perfect! This place is definitely in my rotation for nice places to grab a good drink after a long day of work! Definitely check them out!
This is by far my favorite coffee shop and I love to go here and work. The coffee is excellent, although be warned they do not have decaf. They have alternate milks because I'm definitely an oat milk fan and they have an amazing vegan chocolate chip cookie that is to die for.
