Very hip, trendy bar, looks upscale, a lot of alcohol options. If you love bourbon, whiskey etc, this is your place. They have so many selections, they offer flights too. I think it’s very reasonably priced, I was told they are too expensive. I didn’t think so, they have normal pricing. I love cocktails, so I rolled the dice twice. I got two good cocktails, very yummy. BUT I wish they had more. Anyways the snacks they are offer are really good. Friendly service, the locals were nice and welcoming. That’s always a plus. Highly recommend it. It doesn’t compare to any other bars in the area at all. It’s in own thing.

Cost $9 for a shot of Tito’s. Pretty crazy when it retails for $15-$20. And establishments don’t pay “retail” price. Wasn’t even a Handle either! It was a fifth. There was no handle when I watched him pour.
Service here is the “best” part. Quick enough and some servers can be friendlier than others. So not complaints there. If you sit upstairs it’s slower but that’s understandable. There isn’t a bar upstairs so they gotta trek up and down.
The bill is also strange. You get charged $6 ea. for the shot and then an additional $3 bcuz they measure the shots as 1.5oz and not just 1oz. And apparently that’s just “the system”. I believe the worker when i asked about the strange billing on the receipt…I just think it’s odd. We weren’t given a different shot glass size. Was just like every shot glass I’ve ever seen or owned. Was billed as an additional charge…soooo if there is supposedly no other option to apparently choose between 1 and 1.5 oz why even price things differently/separately? Why isn’t that just the price in the system? makes no sense…we got 2 Tito’s shots that were labeled $6 ea. so $12. And then under underneath a separate charge of $6 for 1.5 oz….(which shakes out to $3 per half oz.) never ever seen that before and I worked as a server for 8 years of my life…
Regardless of the strange listing $9 for 1.5oz of vodka is insane.
We each got 1 cocktail which was $14/-15 a piece plus each 1 shot each. After tip left out $60 for 2 drinks and 2 shots…not worth it. Clean, decent staff and service, and while there isn’t food they have some “snacks”, but personally the price is insane to me. I know it’s not retail bcuz you have a server serving it but $9 for a shot is insane.

A very nice cocktail bar with a great, knowledgeable staff. I really appreciate the well crafted mocktails and non alcoholic options! I no longer drink but can still go out with friends and enjoy a nice drink! I highly recommend to everyone!

All-around excellent. Fantastic drinks, fantastic company (new and old), fantastic service, great interior design, super comfy.
Also has well-hidden secrets that add character to the place.
Any comments related to “needing to expand the drink menu” are innacurate — this is a full service bar that can make any drink requested!
Also, they have the bestest nicest stools & chairs in which I have ever had the pleasure to sit.

Love this place just opened great menu of drinks and snacks. People were talking to each other. No TVs or blaring loud music. Lounge area upstairs bar and few seats downstairs. Drink I had was New York Sour and Sidecar. Made very well. Staff is super friendly great service. This is a must go and try. Help support the new place.

We had our engagement photos taken here and the staff took excellent care of us off hours to make it happen. We love this spot, the drinks are delicious and the service is wonderful. The ambiance is everything we wanted for our engagement photos. Only downside is the food, and only because they don’t really have fresh food from a kitchen, however still giving all 5’s because they make up for it in every other way. There are plenty of neighboring restaurants. Thank you again for taking great care of us Joe and Team!

A good friend of mine came into town and we met at The Distance Social. It was the PERFECT place to meet and catch up! The upstairs area was comfy, cozy and beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly, attentive and they had such a variety of drink choices! I will for sure return there with other friends and family.
