"Vesper, the Glenwood Park cocktail bar, has launched a new Paws on the Patio series, happening every Sunday from 5 to 8 p.m. A new menu for the outdoor seating will include fruity pup-tails, house-made dog treats, and water bowls, alongside treats for the humans including Vesper’s classic and 60s-inspired cocktails, several non-alcoholic options, and sharable bites." - Su-Jit Lin
"The James Bond-themed bar in Glenwood Park has an extensive and creative selection of spirit-less drinks. Expect a range of cocktail classics like Paloma, Paper Plane, and Gimlet, which are made with Ritual Zero Proof spirits. Try the Slo Gin Fizz, sweetened with prickly pear instead of simple syrup, for a refreshing, silky sip." - Laura Scholz
"Designed after the iconic 007 agent, this James Bond-inspired bar makes some banger cocktails, and of course, a mean martini named James’ Perfect Martini with vodka and stuffed olives served up. The vibey lounge makes for a relaxed setting. Try riffs on classics like the Glenn and Tonic made with Tulsa gin, Italicus, grapefruit, rosemary, and tonic, or try a seasonal special. Vesper is expanding to its neighboring store to open Spectre." - Beth McKibben, Henna Bakshi
"Designed for cozy elegance with velvet seating and semi-private nooks, Vesper offers a sense of your own space with fresh flowers, dramatic artwork, and smooth cocktails." - Su-Jit Lin
"Maybe you’re trying to impress a date. Maybe you need a change of scenery after your boss spelled your name wrong in an email for the seventeenth time. Whatever the predicament, sometimes the solution is a night spent sipping a well-made cocktail in a semi-classy environment. That’s when you head to Vesper in Glenwood Park. The drink menu is James Bond-themed (don’t worry the dress code is come as you are). There are fruity options like the Pussy Galore and more straightforward ones like Bond’s signature vodka martini. Bond fans will think it’s fun. Non-fans won’t get the references but will still appreciate kicking back on one of the comfy couches with a drink that tastes like something an A-lister might drink. If your mission doesn’t involve alcohol, Vesper has a sizable selection of tasty mocktails (labeled 00 proof cocktails, get it?)." - Juli Horsford
