Grace & Proper: Reviews & Ratings
Really enjoy this neighborhood treasure. Can get busy inside certain nights. Tapas is good. Not extensive menu. Cocktails and wine list ideal for a happy hour or with a light meal.
This is probably my favorite bar in the city. The cocktails are superb and the staff are amazing. You can’t go wrong with any of the food items but the best are the bacon wrapped plums and the buffalo chicken dip. If you’re lucky enough to get there when they have their special olive oil cake, do yourself a favor and get a slice!!
The perfect spring/summer place for cocktail. Love this neighborhood bar. Tried a variety of cocktails and each were exceptional. The cocktails are around 12, which is average for most places in the city, but they make the strength of the cocktails is perfect. It was very crowded, but the bartenders were all very attentive and quick. We did not get any food however have heard that the food is excellent!
Super awesome. One of my favorite bars to visit on my days off. laid back atmosphere, good music, great staff and wonderful food. Nick as well as all the other bartenders are so kind. buffalo chicken dip is outta this world. amaro list is extensive. homemade green chartreuse!? phenomenal. great place for industry and non-industry folks alike. love love love. neighborhood gem.
I had their cocktails with Mezcal and Charred Pineapple Campari and the one with Saffron Gin - both were fantastic and well balanced. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great time!
If I lived in the neighborhood, I’d be here all the time! The food and drinks are unique and the service is impeccable. We brought an out-of-town friend here and she was very impressed. We only tried their pastries, but would love to experience more of the menu next time!
Great bar, good selection of cocktails and wine. Didn't notice much of a beer selection but I wasn't looking. The staff were excellent and friendly! Highly recommend
With great cocktails and decent selection of wine there’s always something for everyone. Always packed but not annoyingly so, there’s always room and a jovial atmosphere.
