Bitter End — Restaurant in Etna

Great bar! It's like a hideaway place. The theme is a speakeasy from back in the early 1930's. The flatscreen TVs have current programming but are in black & white to continue the feel of times past. The male bartender was very knowledgeable about all the spirits they carry. I had the It's the Berries cocktail. Lots of higher end bourbons & whiskeys...also scotches, gins & vodkas.

If the green light is on above the door then you know they're open....

At that point I just got the check because I needed to get food and their options are more for snacking. Granted it was during a busy Friday evening and the bartenders were doing their best to keep up, but still. Staff more bartenders!

-1 star for slow service, -0.5 for lame food options and -0.5 for being a little too high-end...

Really nice little space with a super chill vibe in Etna. It reminds me of a jazz club or speakeasy. Good cocktail list with a few domestic beers available. Also had some snacks and dessert.

They have a large selection of liquors and liqueurs. The TVs were set to black and white to...
