While walking boardwalk strip around 10:45pm on a Tuesday night, I came across Harvest because of music playing from the rooftop patio. I did a Google search and it said they closed at 10pm. The sign outside also confirmed that. However, the door was open and I saw two ladies walk upstairs. I went upstairs too and there were several groups of people. I went to the bar and looked at the menu.
The patio area is really nice! They have regular tables for eating and sitting. They also had couches and even swing type seating. I have no idea the proper name for it. You could see other local business from the roof, which was pretty nice.
I ultimately got "Surprise Me", which is perfect for me because I can be indecisive. This drink means that the bartender just makes you something. He asked me what type of liquor I like and I told him Vodka. He asked if I like sweet and I said yes. He made it extremely quick. I looked away for a second and was done. It was red in color too. I grabbed a straw and took a sip... Y'all, it was nasty. At first, I thought he put something with coconut in it. I dislike coconut. After he said he didn't, I asked him what was in it. He said it was Vodka, sprite, and grenadine.... This was not unique at all. He gave me a basic ass drink. I'm not making any assumptions... but I will state that I made the observation that my friend and I were the only people of color there... Take that how you wish...
So yeah, I didn't like it AT ALL... but of course, I drank it. My #1 rule with alcohol, is that you don't waste it!! So, I just sucked it up and drank it, lol. Plus, I really didn't want him to make me anything else. I thought about asking for him to add some juice but opted not too. As I sat at the bar and forced the drink down, I noticed bartender flirting with a young lady who had apparently been there previously from my minor eavesdropping. Serious question... is it eavesdropping if they're talking loud enough for others to hear? Idk. There was one memorable part of their conversation that was funny because of the girl's reaction, but I won't put him out there like that LMAO. I don't know his name anyway.
But to continue with my story, the "Surprise Me" drink left a horrible taste in my mouth. I got another drink that I saw while browsing the drink menu called "Blue B Crush", which is blueberry vodka, lemon, fresh berries, and simple syrup. Unfortunately, I didn't really like it either. However, it was better than my "Surprise Me" drink. I realized that both drinks were mixing a key ingredient: Juice!! -Sigh- This was a disappointment. After that drink, I paid my tab and left. I have no idea how the food taste but I doubt I'd come back in the future.
