    The study is an interesting room tucked into the back of a hotel restaurant area. It is quiet, and a great place to enjoy a late night cocktail. The bar menu could use a couple of other items besides little hors d’oeuvre size portions but overall it was what we needed last night a place to sit and talk.

    Trendy, upscale, and chill, the study at dean’s has quickly become my wife and I’s favorite Southtown bar. The drink service is outstanding; Winchester the bartender/mixologist walked us through the “chapter 1” drink menu of craft cocktails based on books, poems, and their authors. Going a step further he asked our drink preferences are recommended cocktails that we’d never heard of but will never be forgotten. The drinks also look as good as they taste, and make for a good video to capture the unique presentations. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who wants to impress a guest or for real fans of alcohol. The food options are limited to finger foods to accompany your drink but are also very well executed. Highly recommended 5 stars A+++

    The service and drinks were absolutely amazing—top-notch quality and attentive staff made the experience enjoyable in those aspects. However, we were disappointed that smoking cigarettes was allowed indoors (this was not a garish for a drink). The smoke detracted from the ambiance. Additionally, the noise level was surprisingly loud, which didn’t quite match the intimate, speakeasy vibe we were expecting.
    The Study at Dean’sResponded on 8 November 2024
    Hello Celeste, Thank you for your feedback and for giving us a chance to improve. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our service and drinks, and we appreciate your kind words about our staff's attentiveness. We do want to advise that we are a non-smoking property. The "cigarettes" that you see are sage-based incense that we use as garnish on the "First Sip of Censorship" cocktail. They come in multiple aromas; I'm happy to share a link to the site we purchase from, if you'd like to read more on these. We understand that it can be a bit loud during peak hours, and we’re working on ways to improve the atmosphere. Please ask for me on your next visit as I'd love to meet you in person! Thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful day. Sincerely, Jennifer Winney Director of Outlets
