"This happened a couple weeks back, but I thought I 'd share my experience at this place. What a bizarre experience. We had a company outing at Brass Monkey, and I had 2 drinks. After starting to feel slight discomfort in the stomach, my friend and I went to the bathroom. A lady bartender with wavy, blonde hair followed us into the bathroom and stood there, peaking under the stall !!! to see what was happening. She immediately said that I had to leave if I was feeling sick, to which my friend responded that I was feeling discomfort from earlier and needed to relieve my stomach. The only thing she said was you need to go and went to grab SECURITY GUARDS to escort us out. After having 2 drinks and simply feeling sick inside a stall i.e. private space where you have the right to simple privacy to do whatever you need to do , the security guards met us at the door of the bathroom and told us they would call the cops unless we left. So we didn 't oppose because it was completely unreasonable- feeling nauseous on a FRIDAY evening around 5pm is apparently not something they can handle as a business. I explained to them the circumstances, to which Erik, their security guard/manager, said, WORD FOR WORD, I dont care if you 're bulimic, if you 're throwing up it 's a bad look for the restaurant- you need to go. I tried to reason, explaining that I have friends who have struggled, and it 's not at all okay to say. Eric could not even make eye contact with me, and instead decided to express his annoyance with a talking hand motion, completely disregarding that what he said is extremely harmful. I would understand this reaction if my behavior was disruptive, inappropriate, rowdy or whatever else. I was absolutely fine, calm, and reasonable. All in all, I realize that restaurants, as private businesses, have the right to refuse service. HOWEVER, the way this was handled, the condescending comments Eric made in regard to our age alluding to the fact that I can 't handle my alcohol , the talking hand motion, and all the snarky remarks like the sooner you leave, the faster we 'll forget your face, so maybe we will let you in next time made our time at Brass Monkey absolutely traumatic. We seriously couldn 't fathom that feeling sick in a PRIVATE BATHROOM could ever result in this. Shame on the security guards and the management for not having the proper manners and experience to handle this correctly and respectfully. As a suggestion to the actual business owners, maybe invest in a proper training program? Finally, as a side note: Eric, just so you know, karma will get you"

"I visited Drink for a private event and had an amazing experience! I especially loved the raw bar and the custom cocktails/mocktails.It seems like the raw bar is only for private events, but I'll still leave my thoughts here in case it's helpful for anyone. The oysters are delicious, as are the oysters with caviar (but oysters are already so briny, so do you really need caviar? . They come with the usual mignonette and cocktail sauces. The shrimp cocktail had such plump and juicy shrimp, 10/10. Definitely the highlight of the visit. We tried 5 different cocktails, 4 of which were crafted after we described what we were looking for (sweet, fruity, sparkly; green and sweet; berry and sweet . They were mostly quite good, and showed me that red/orange cocktails usually taste better than green ones.The cocktail highlight of the night was the enzoni, but with Aperol instead of Campari and strawberries instead of grapes. That was a killer drink that everyone loved. So sweet and delicious, like strawberry lemonade.We also had a tiki drink mocktail which had coconut cream, passionfruit, grapefruit, among other things. Definitely the best mocktail we've ever had. Would definitely want to get this again.The bartenders were amazing lots of fun, attentive, and knowledgable. Quick rundown of the hot foods we triedGood stuff: Fries were thick, hot, and delicious Churros were addictively good, though not the typical texture (quite soft inside and they were falling apart Smoked salmon tea sandwiches were quite good with soft breadOk stuff: Shishitos could have had more seasoning Mixed fried seafood could have used more salt Pretzel bites were a bit dry and not as soft as I would like. Cheese sauce is nice and salty.Meh stuff: Chicken wings had a sauce that was too acidic Black truffle fritter was unremarkableOf course, I don't know how much the cocktails cost since it was a private event, but we had such a fun time here so if I ever wanted to go to a cocktail bar, I would come here again!"
