My friend, and I arrived at Oak and Eden to have a cocktail and found that it was under new management. The bartender was very very friendly to us, and made up some amazing drinks. Apparently the other gentleman there, who seemed to be the manager, who was quite unfriendly as my friend, and I tried to engage in pleasant conversation and lighthearted comment, yet he (the gentleman/manager) was very curt and very abrupt in his answers, and seemed annoyed by us being there, by delaying in his answers, very uninterested in engaging with his customers.. My friend and I are very unaccustomed to this as we frequent local businesses repeatedly, and are treated very warmly and kindly by both the wait staff, and the management team. Again, as I always say support your local businesses. In this case, I am very disappointed to say hopefully they can get management who appreciates customers, and will treat them with kindness, great joy to see them, and at the least, be pleasant. With the cost of things these days it’s not difficult to be friendly, and all one asks when they go and frequent an establishment, is friendliness. I would hope that the manager of might be able to get some classes to help, being kinder and to be nicer...

Overall has fun here and would...

This location offers a class on whiskey, so we enrolled. The class was held in a room called "The Library," and our class was led by their whiskey aficionado, Brandon. The class lets the patron sample five bases, followed by the pattern's choice of three infusers. Once selections of base and infuser are made, the host hands each patron their custom bottle of whiskey to take...
