Spirited

I have no idea how or why someone as talented as Matt at making craft cocktails lives in a place like South Bend but everyone in town should be grateful for it and take advantage of his talent and hard work. These cocktails are hands down the best in town, maybe even the best in the Midwest or even the world. Every item on the menu is so well thought-out and executed with so much precision, passion, and care. If you ever decide to go off the menu and ask for something you're in the mood for he'll really knock your socks off.

When I looked this place up online I thought that it might be a little too pretentious for me, but decided to check it out anyway. It isn't pretentious at all. The ambience is lovely. I had a Sage Before Beauty and a Morgue-arita. They were both amazing. The hummus was delicious. Our server was excellent, and the bartender was hilarious. I highly recommend going.

Was in you first opened and the owner let me take a few photos and my wife had a drink. Was very nice. Came in on Friday and the bartender was immediately hostile. Him yelling(from across the room) can I help you? His tone was more like get the hell out of here. I was going to take a couple photos and get a drink. Asked permission like I always do. I understand him saying no. But his tone was patronizing. Your In South Bend freaking Indiana. This isn't NYC.
