Infuse Mixology Bar & Bistro

It’s been a year since I was here.
I orderd a Black Russian. He made me a mixture of vodka, Kahlua AND some clear soda.
The correct mixture is 2 parts vodka & 1 part Kahlua. Nothing else.
I ordered a draw. He kept tipping the glass to get rid of the foam. It was about 50 degrees F.
We just left and haven’t been back.
I did send them an email but did not get a response.
I’d recommend Nathan Detroit if you’re in the down town area.

So first time ever being here and since it was a cold, rainy night in Grand Island, I thought, «What the heck, it’s time for a cocktail.» Upon entering the place, you can tell that it’s a newer, more-​hip bar in the downtown area. After all, a lot of coworkers have praised it for it’s novelty. It was a small, younger crowd (probably makes sense, since it was 8:00pm) with most of the patrons close friends of the serving staff. So I sat up to the bar, and asked for the drink menu. This is where it went a little weird. There was debate among the bartenders as to which menu I needed. Thinking all I wanted was a drink a… drink menu should suffice but I guess Infuse takes it one step further and offers multiple drink menus. Benefit of the doubt.
Being that this place is considered a cocktail bar, I discussed options with the bartender and finally thought nothing better than the classic: an Old fashioned. besides, there well bourbon is Bulleit: Now we’re rolling. I ordered one up, excited for the outcome, and here came the friendly banter between the bartenders. Only this time, I couldn’t tell if the observer was putting in his two cents or if he was actually trying to tell my gal how to make the drink which left an awkward atmosphere for a few moments. Oh well, it was easy to forget when the drink came but once more I was puzzled! It came in a snifter glass. Ok, I like to consider myself as a purist (but I’ll take an orange peel and cherry over lemon any day) so I just thought this was totally absurd but in the end, it’s just a drink so I’ll finish it and move on.
Overall, I think this is what Grand Island needed: a newer, trendy bar to draw in a younger crowd, downtown. Although, I would describe it as «growing pains» in one word (well two… the old fashioned was strong so bonus points to that). Look, a bar shouldn’t be like a hair salon. I don’t want each person’s take on a drink. The bar tenders should be consistent with the standards set by the bar unless custom orders are requested. Also, keep it simple. Drink menus for drinks. Food menus for food. With small fixes, Infuse could be the busiest, happening place in downtown GI.
