“Encore is a great choice for some thoughtfully crafted cocktails all within a warm and intimate environment. This place is definitely a must visit, especially if you’re wondering what happened to Society Lounge on East 4th St (if you were lucky enough to go before it re-opened under new ownership).”
“10/10 would recommend this place! We had such a great time and loved everything we ordered. The cocktails are super creative, delicious, and clearly well thought out. The welcome pour was a really nice touch. Definitely don’t skip the food—we had the duck and the dessert cigar, and both were a must. The vibe is amazing, from the décor to the super friendly staff. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!! 😊”
“We had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy a couple hours in the new Encore Cocktail Bar and wow!! what a gem this new place is! It’s elegant yet comfy; inviting and warm. The cocktails and small plates we had (a good few) were delicious and so creatively plated and served. The Cigar dessert is a must to try!!! Congratulations on a very special place in the heart of downtown and I know we’ll be back and we’ll spread the word to all our friends!!”
