My fiancee and I had great end to our date night by heading here for drinks. Really cool vibe and beautifully decorated bar. Staff super nice & chill.

What a hidden gem this place is! Great vibe and nice staff. The bartender enjoys what he does and it shows, he took his time intently creating my cocktail. Highly recommend and by the looks of their reviews I’m not the only one.

Stopped into this gorgeous moody bar in the evening and had a great time. Had a paper plane and a margarita and the drinks were fantastic! Bartenders were great, chatty and fast with our cocktails. The owner was great, chatting with almost every person who came in and made us the best pickled onion and cheese bites. The bar is wonderfully decorated and perfectly set up, perfect for a few friends to have a couple drinks. Will definitely be making sure to stop in next time we are in the city!

I went to Old Town Bodega for the first time this past Wednesday to try the food the pop-up chef had on offer. It did not disappoint. The atmosphere inside the bar was clearly curated and had a very nice ambiance. The drinks were great and came very quickly, as did our snacks. The pop-up was awesome, and the food was super yummy. This spot is worth giving a try.

I’ve been hearing a lot buzz about this place and decided to try it. Was wonderfully delighted by the place. Stunning decor with lighting atmosphere that makes the place incredibly intimate. The drinks were tasty! Snack food so delicious and inexpensive. Staff was super cool and friendly it added to the atmosphere. Had lots of fun and would recommend it to anyone looking for something new.

Amazing place! From the decor and atmosphere to the incredibly warm and friendly owners, it's a new fav. Loved my latte and brownie too! Cool that there is a barber downstairs, adds to the charm.
