I’m a fan! New to the CWH area, I was happy to stumble upon this place. I’ve set up a few business meetings here, and have been very impressed with the service and the drinks. I’m happy to pay the price for such service and quality. If you are looking for a bar without the bar-type crowd and vibe, this is it. Relaxed, yet more upscale than a few other spots in the area. Best part is, they know how to poor a drink! Great for business drinks, happy hour, and weekend evenings. Cheers! I’ll be back.

I am a fan of this little local Martini bar. Has the causal interaction and hometown feel of a local dive bar, but the ambiance and menu of a nice martini bar. The drinks are good with a good selection of classic favorites as well as new twists. I’ve been here both on a busy weekend night as well as slower weekend nights and my experience was the same, good drinks, a nice place to sip them, and a friendly and attentive — but not overly invasive — staff.

Where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came… I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a sign that I maybe drink too much, but my girlfriend and I come here as our regular after-work drink spot, and they know our name and dessert choice by heart. You can order from the full menu at Trio(next door) and they’ll bring it straight to your table. Now that’s service! Andrew and Nekki are our favorite bartenders, so make sure to tip them nicely and they’ll take great care of you! See that photo of a glass of red wine? That’s a regular pour, for yours truly. …You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same. You wanna be where everybody knows your name.

Horrible. I waited in line forever and once I finally got to the bar, the bar tender was so rude and yelled at me for sitting in an empty seat. Boring and stuffy atmosphere, I will not be going back.

This place is pretty rad. It’s close to a couple business parks, so the atmosphere is relatively classy for a bar. Which is nice because you can bust out a laptop without looking weird. The whiskey and beer selection is above average and they serve food from Trio, so the food options are great.

I only discovered this place a few months back and I’ve come to really like it. The main reason I like it here is the friendly staff. They may not always be as attentive as I’d like, but they always seem to genuinely be in a good mood(a rarity in the service industry nowadays for some reason). Cocktails are not exactly of the«craft» quality that one might hope for, but the standards(Martinis, Old Fashioned, Gin and Tonic, etc) are done well. The fact that the food comes in from Trio next door is nice in that it allows for a diverse offering that is generally of good to great quality. My main concern is the pricing. Both food and drinks are priced at a level that makes it just that much too prohibitive to make this a regular hangout. Would love to see an upscale«Craft Cocktail» program get going here!

I am a big fan of my neighborhood martini bar. They have a full bar and a great specialty cocktail menu. I love the dirty martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives. You can also order food from Trio next door and the friendly staff will serve you.(The brussel sprouts at Trio are the best). The staff is very attentive and will make sure you don’t go thirsty. The place is clean and comfortable, with some sofas for relaxing. It is a great place to meet up with friends or even have a special occasion. I had my birthday party here and we were allowed to bring our own food. There is a great DJ there on Saturday nights. «MC» will play requests and get the dancing started. They also have a different DJ on Friday nights with some 80’s or 90s music. This place is located in a somewhat hidden location. It is hard to find since it is set back from the street and attached to Trio restaurant. Part of me wants this place to remain nice and chill and my own secret Martini bar, but it would be nice if there were some more people to liven it up a little. I am thinking they could benefit from a little advertising and promotion.

This was Kristauff’s but now the name has changed but with the same menu. Yummy martini’s. Haven’t had a bad martini here. Friendly staff. Clean place and close to home.

Elixir has a slightly upscale feel to it, but also has a sports bar ambiance since they were showing a couple games on their TVs. Service was efficient and I was very pleased with my Konsumate martini. It was a nice spot to grab a drink at before our dinner next door, and we were told that they serve Trio’s food if we wanted to stay. We passed, but our waiter was kind enough to put our name on the list.

Elixir’s staff was friendly(they put our name in for us at Trio next door) and their lounge area clean… but I was turned off by the multiple TV sets at the bar. I understand that people love their TV and having them likely generates more revenue but to me, it cheapens the experience some. Chilis comes to mind.
