Darling Bar — Restaurant in Winnipeg

I like the concept of this place. It's a hidden gem. There's is a roof patio with a bar, but you better book a table in advance, especially if they have a special event there. The lower level has a mysterious, dark lightning, but it's still cozy. It's a small space. Service is good, polite and attentive. I like their cocktails, however their sharable board was ridiculous. I asked a server if it's shareable and big enough for company of three, and be said that all the meals are shareable. We were waiting for our dish for a while and then get 7 pieces of baguette, some meat (it's not a prosciutto), some vegies and cheese smeared with a thin layer.

Went here on a Friday night — wasn’t very busy and somehow the service was HORRIBLE. Just went for drinks, and we would order 2 drinks and after 20-30 minutes, we would finally get ONE drink, then wait another 20 minutes for the second one.

I had two bartenders choice cocktails and they were both amazing. Flavours I would never normally order. We also had the new s’more cocktail which was very good. The old fashioned was a slight letdown. We had the baked Brie and the shrimp bao buns. Both were a bit of a letdown. The bao didn’t have much flavour and only two shrimps each. We should have tried the pulled pork option. The Brie did not have enough topping for the amount of cheese. The ambiance is neat however quite dark. The bartender and wait staff were friendly...
