I have come here a few times now, and can't believe I forgot to review this place.
Love.
Like more than is normal. Idk, the Slope does not have an abundance of choice when it comes to actual literal cocktail bars. It's all dives, which I generally do like, but sometimes a girl wants to sit in a velvet chair and drink purple cocktails. It's me. I'm girls. It's nice not to have to go to Manhattan to have a great cocktail, and the atmosphere is unlike anything else in the hood!
I originally found this place because I was looking to do something for my birthday. I didn't want to do a crazy party, just wanted to have a large table somewhere that was fun and not stuffy. I came in on a Sunday evening to scope the place and was sold. It's so pretty. Not the type of pretty where you don't want to take your man because then they hold that shit over your head and make you go someplace stupid that you hate because of it- no. It's like the botanical gardens in there.
We walked in at the tail end of a party that was super lit for 5pm, so it was nice to see how it looked full and pumping, despite it being mellow and relaxed after the big group left. I got to try a few drinks - what were they called? Have no idea, they are strong lol but I loved everything I tried, and have it on my goals list to try them all.
Ultimately did celebrate my birthday here, and it was everything I wanted. I wanted food, but I also wanted to mingle and not be confined to a tight, small table the whole time. This was perfect for that, and the food is actually great. Bar food can be hit or miss, but they have a pretty fun, veggie heavy menu. We ate these tartare ice cream cones, which is granted a bougie drunk food, but i am a bougie drunk. Setting up the reservation was super simple, their coordinator was prompt and even got us a round of birthday shots for when we arrived, which was much appreciated!
This is a great addition to the hood!
