Editorial Review for Apple Bar – by Tara Fatemi
In Short
Relax downstairs or climb past the vibrant local artwork by the staircase to comfortable sofas surrounding a large, red square table. Mostly couples and groups in their early 20s to mid-30s, fill the dark, brick-accented atmosphere. Signature apple martinis come from Vox vodka, DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker and Midori. Apple Bar also offers first-rate bourbon and tequila. Thursdays through Saturdays feature live DJs. Ambient music is simultaneously soothing and stimulating.

came here for the first time, used a credit card to buy a round of drinks, went to pay the tab, was told our credit card was given to someone else. Talk about a bad experience. do they not check names? Anyway, probably going to keep us from going back, which is a shame.
Pros: cool place to hang
Cons: pay cash, credit card at bar was given away.

The Dirty Martini started out with a tiny amount of olive juice and became a martini glass of olive juice with a splash of alcohol after the bartender tried to fix it. The Cosmopolitan could only be called that because of its color and the Gin & Tonic was completely flat. I'll say that their drinks are definitely missing something ... better bartenders (they didn't even look old enough to be serving drinks) and an inventory of better alcohol brands!
Pros: Dark??
Cons: Drinks and service
