The James & Rye

Stopped in with some friends for one drink and ended up trying several off the menu and a few personally curated from Julian. He was very knowledgeable and inviting. We also spoke with the owner and he too was very welcoming, as well as the rest of the staff. The atmosphere was sophisticated and stylish, something different than other bars …

Didn't try the food. But the atmosphere and service is great. It's clean, relaxed, and you can have a conversation without having to yell. The bartenders are nice with a great sense of humor. If you're feeling adventurous, let them decide your drink. They do very well.

Great place. Awesome drinks. Dirty martini fans, Julian makes an experience you need to share in. Excellent new bar you need to to check out! Photo of smoked old fashioned. Also great.

Wow, what a great bar! All the attitude of a new bar but opened 8 months prior. My wife and I went together on 1/28. We were NOT disappointed. I ordered the Rye, which was half off on Wednesdays, and the bartender asked my wife what she wanted and made it to her specific tastes. Taking the time to listen …
