Retro Bar

Bryant's Cocktail Lounge

You’ll feel transported to a different time in this cocktail lounge that opened in 1938. This local gem was a semifinalist for the James Beard Awards’ “Best Bar Program” in 2013, due to Bryant’s repertoire of over 450 specialty and vintage cocktails. However, you won’t see a menu here. Instead, let the knowledgeable bartenders guide you to the perfect cocktail for your tastes.
