The Cocktails here are off the charts. I tried 3 drinks. All were bartender's choice. All were Superb!
Pros: COCKTAILS - No Brainer, really. They have a cocktail menu
with a half dozen options. I'm sure they're great but the
creativity in the minds of these Mixologists/Bartenders is second-to-none. Pick
Pros: COCKTAILS - No Brainer, really. They have a cocktail menu

their brains. Test them. Challenge them. You will be impressed.
SERVICE - Our cocktail chemist - Marcos Tello - was super
kind and very engaging. Yeah-yeah, it takes around 10
minutes to get your drink. Who cares?? It's not like you're
getting a Jack and Coke, And if you are, then you really
shouldn't be in there to begin with. Go elsewhere. Heck, stay
home! Otherwise, keep your pants on. And if you are at the
bar, enjoy the show as the mixmasters muddle their mastery
for you.
Indifferences -
No Bar Stools - Yes it sucks to have to stand there but if you
had a seat at the bar, the turnaround wouldn't be as fast and
you would have to wait a lot longer to get in. If you don't feel
like standing, be specific with the hostess at the door and ask
for a table.
The Varnish has joined Copa D' Oro in my Mt. Rushmore of Cocktail Bars. To compare, I have Seven Grand a notch slightly below and The Association a sliver behind them.
Sidenote; Marcos Tello, one of the bartenders has entered several Mixology competitions and has placed or taken the Grand Prize in a few. Big ups!
