About

The traditional cocktail bar was often a quiet, formal, and expensive experience years ago, and Service Bar has always strived to counter that standard. It has boasted a $7 cocktail menu (temporarily on pause due to COVID), live music, and a welcoming seat for anyone in the neighborhood. The cocktail menu changes with the seasons or with whatever inspires them at the time — one thing is for sure though, there’s always something new and exciting to try. Service Bar serves classic American food with a focus on local ingredients. Although the menu has grown and developed overtime, fried chicken has remained the signature dish. As we are a small bar, we rely heavily on making the most out of our busy weekends. Because of this, private event inquiries outside of the listed times above will be price quoted at a premium and will only be considered if it's a full buyout of the indoor or outdoor space or both.
