Was excited to try Drip House Cocktail Bar after seeing posts all over social media advertising it. But my friends and I were left very disappointed. We ordered the espresso martini flights. Firstly, although you get 4 drinks in your flight, but you are only allowed to choose 2 flavours. Doesn’t make much sense. And then when we tried the drinks, they were very weak. Seems like they use hot espresso and have to chill it with ice which makes the drinks very watered down. Some of my friends ordered other drinks off the menu, and we were all disappointed with what we ordered. Ultimately we left early and went to another place for cocktails. If a place specializes in cocktails they really need to be able to make them properly. They definitely need to step up their game. Very disappointing.

I was quite excited to go to Drip house for cocktails with my friends to celebrate my birthday. We ordered a first round of cocktails and enjoyed eachother’s company with the idea that we would be spending the evening at our table. I was extremely disappointed in the service given that we were informed that we needed to leave within 30 minutes because a bigger party was coming in. NEVER did the waitress informed us when we started our evening. She also didn’t try to find alternative solutions for us throughout. A better approach would be to have informed us from the beginning of our evening. I am very dissappointed.

Food and atmosphere was great! The only complaint I have is the service. The waitress brought our food and never came back. We saw her leaving the restaurant, so I assume her shift was over but never came to advise or let us know someone else would be taking over our table. When reviewing the menu and inquiring what a menu item was, she described it as “looks like a block with things around it” .. a little more knowledge about the menu would have been great.

Lovely place and will be back definitely a vibe! My only issues were it took 30mins before we were asked our order and we even had to flag the waiter down to serve us…. Second issue was we were given a food menu with the happy hour prices but the menu didn’t say happy hour so when we paid we were charged full price and we questioned it but was told we were probably handed the wrong menu. That’s fine but would have been nice for them to comp it since we were mislead about the price of the food. Overall very nice place and enjoyed ourselves!

Made a reservation for a table. When we arrived they only offered bar seat or high top chairs. When I said I made a reservation for a table the bartender, red hair and ponytail was incredibly rude and aggressive and said he didn’t have a table for us and had to pick bar or high tops. He was aggressive, rude and honestly messed up the mood for the whole night. He had no right to be so rude for no reason. Won’t be going back
