    Ambience was lovely and drinks were great. The reason why we closed out our check and left after one drink was the poor service. Server took a while to take our order, forgot our food, drink came out wrong and she also forgot to give us the check after asking twice. And which makes it worse was there was no recognition that she had made multiple mistakes while everytime we looked over she was on her phone. Apart from that everything was good, probably won't be coming back though.

    Really great spot—finally a place where you can actually sit down and have a conversation without shouting over loud music. They’ve got a DJ spinning vinyl, which is a nice touch, but it’s not overpowering at all. The lounge setup is perfect if you want a bit of privacy or just a chill vibe to talk. Service was on point—Rachel was amazing. And the best part? The cocktails were top-notch. The Buzzworth and Pornstar punch are definitely worth trying!

    Highly recommend Retail Therapy! There was a mix up during happy hour on my second visit, but they made it right and the hospitality was top notch. The cocktails are delicious and the vibe is chill.

    They were great! When we entered we received a free shot of their newest concoction. We sat at the bar and the bartender named Brady was very attentive and friendly. The whole vibe of the place was amazing! They had a DJ, it definitely was a fun place to get a drink!

    Despite a historic weather low and a quiet Sunday night, they were able to accommodate my request for a Birthday celebration and helped me throughout the arrangements and served us some awesome cocktails and a nice cake!! Would definitely go there again and again!
