Mini Bar

3 stars for drinks /​ambiance. 5 stars for service.
The bartender here was just so friendly and attentive. Loved him. He was quite the comedian. Makes you feel like you’re right at home!
The place is pretty small. 2 bar tables and a larger communal table in the front (feels like you’re actually in someone’s living room). There was nothing oh my gosh about the décor but the games of uno and chitchat at the table were definitely pluses!
Will definitely check this place out again if I’m in the area!

Has a lot of potential very nice place with a great look an feel. But service is not that awesome and a bit exp for what it is… 2 drinks a meat plate totaled $ 51.50. And the meat plate came with only 3 stale mini baguette slices. We def asked for more but had to laugh when we got 3 more… oh almost forgot the pâté was dry. I hate to complain about slices of meat but seriously WTH… at least slice attempt to slice it relatively even…

I am a huge fan of the Delicatessen, above, but we were in the mood for a more intimate drinking experience. This bar was the highlight of our trip. The small spot which probably holds less than 40 people is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Our bartender Heather was extremely polite, welcoming and made damn good drinks. I would not have expected anything less from the Delicatessen.

We came to Minibar while we were waiting for a table at Pylos across the street. It’s a cute little spot — emphasis on little. It’s definitely a chill place — we had to get the bartenders attention to order after sitting there for a little. They were out of a lot things also. Nice place to sit and chat, and the popcorn is a fun bar snack. Not sure I would go out of my way to come here but its a good spot to get a drink if you’re close by.

Cute enough, but I can’t really see myself seeking it out again? The bartender was nice, the popcorn was free, & I guess the wine selection was lovely– I just wish the beer selection had been a little more curated, along with the wine? I’m more of a beer snob than a wine snob, so that is just me. Cozy & trendy enough that this could be a good pop-​in spot for anybody.

We ducked into this little bar while escaping a rain storm and were very happy we did.
The service was great, the bartender knew a lot about the wines and told us, truthfully, what he recommended. We loved the atmosphere and the «chitchat» game cards on our table was fun. It is a very cute bar and a great place to escape the rain. We’ll be back.

OK, you got me, this bar is adorable. It’s adorable in a ‘cute puppy who just chewed up my favorite loafers’ sort of way.
Yeah, we waited 5 – 10 minutes before being greeted and having our order taken, but it’s one guy. And he WAS really friendly.
Yeah, we only tried 4 of the wines in our «5 wine tasting» deal, and yeah they forgot the gourmet mixed nuts, but the cheese was good.
Yeah, the wines were kinda forgettable, but they were all extremely drinkable and smooth.
Moral of the story? It’s the perfect place to come catch up with a few friends when you’re not in a hurry and have some mixed palates. The wines are agreeable enough that everyone will like them. It’s small enough that you feel exclusive, and the bartender is friendly enough that you’ll have some good chatter.
Cool spot.

I came here because I bought vouchers on Scoop St for a five wine tasting with a cheese plate and gourmet nuts. We ended up only getting to try four and we never got the gourmet nuts (we really didn’t know what would make nuts gourmet and were curious), but we still had a very good time and we ended up being there for over two hours.
Mini Bar is definitely a hidden gem and I will definitely go back. I’d probably come back here for pre-​dinner drinks as there are a lot of restaurants in the area that I want to try. They only have wine, beer, and sangria and only one person on staff, but it is cozy and has a lot of flair. The tiled walls and bar are very pretty and there are log type wood beams across the ceiling. There is a very laid back atmosphere here and everyone is very chill. Don’t come here if you are in a rush or are rowdy.
Definitely try the cheese plate. They give you four types of cheeses and I have no clue what type they were both the closest categories they could belong to are cheddar, provolone, blue, and my favorite a thai curry mix one which was very, very tasty.
Mark was the bartender who was working and he was very friendly and talkative. He introduced us to one of his friends and we chatted with her for probably over an hour.
Oh and the bathroom really is clean and very nice.

Went here for a little relaxation and refreshment. Great little place, good style, awesome bartender named Theo. Just a cool joint.

Came here on a Sunday after a mimosa filled brunch with the bestie Amal D. Small intimate place, cute, friendly bartender (he let me make my own playlist on his Ipod, super cool), $ 8 Sangria and Bordeaux. Cool place to grab a drink before or after din din. Drop by on a Sunday the only day Zack works, you won’t be disappointed.
For the ladies, the bathroom is super clean that’s always a plus.
