    This is a fun bar. They don't serve food (and never should in my opinion) which is the reason for the poor review on that question. That evaluation piece should be removed from this form to ensure we can give accurate reviews :)

    I went to Standing Room Only with a friend for an early drink and loved the experience. There you will find drinks that you've never even heard of, or seen at any regular bar. Watching the owner mix them is like watching a magic show. I definitely recommend it!!

    Love this place! Always leave connecting to more people than when I came it. Only recommendation is to have some bar snacks out or for sale. Thanks Doug and PK. See you soon

    Enjoyed our 30 minute time slot as it was booked for private party at 9pm and out reservation was for 830. If we would have been aware we would have made it another evening. But enjoyed a drink.

    Absolutely perfect place for a first date! Has a mildly intimate feeling for two but is also combined with a sense of connection and support. Quickly and easily begins to feel like your own cozy version of “Cheers”. Love it all, the bartender, the owner, the decor and dance floor too!

    Interesting bar with a great host. They don’t serve meals, just exceptional cocktails. Definitely worth a visit at least once. Book ahead! 9 seats go fast!
