This world-class cocktail experience also features rare rums from around the world and offers a variety of handcrafted, signature merchandise available to purchase.

Tired of the same old drinks? Bitter & Twisted is here to inspire you and bring a sense of excitement and adventure to your next night out. With our extensive book o' cocktails, you'll find a diverse collection of new and classic drinks from around the world, all expertly crafted using only the finest premium spirits, fresh fruits, herbs, bitters, and tonics.


Our mission is to provide you with a truly unforgettable experience, one sip at a time. But for those who prefer the familiar, we also offer a selection of top-notch spirits, craft beers, and wines. Come explore the world of flavor and discover your new favorite tipple.

We are also the proud home of the original recipe “Pornstar Martini” in the United States, prepared correctly since our doors opened in 2014. Experience the authentic taste of what made this drink a global sensation, made exactly to the original recipe just how it was made back at LAB Bar, London circa 2004.

At Bitter & Twisted, we believe that the quality of the ice used in our bar can make all the difference in our guest's experience. We believe that the little things matter, and that's why we've made it our mission since day one to make our own large format ice, from scratch.

When it comes to cocktails, the use of crystal-clear large block ice can instantly elevate the credibility of any bar's program. It's a clear indication of the establishment's attention to detail and commitment to providing only the finest ingredients. Making our own ice, instead of simply buying it, is a time-consuming process, but we feel the results are truly worth it, and is one of the many things we do within our bar that sets us apart from the rest.

Bitter & Twisted is a seated establishment, and while we do try to accommodate everyone we are bound by our legal capacity. We're not trying to be cool but sadly we have limited space, and we just can’t think of a better and fairer system than first come, first served, especially during peak times.

An accurate head count is always required, please do not exceed the amount stated on the waitlist or your reservation.

Sadly, we do not participate in any bar crawls, we're just not set up for it being a seated bar with a limited capacity.

Bitter & Twisted operates as a 21 & over the establishment and only allows identification ruled valid by the DLLC.

Please note that groups will be presented with one bill, which may be split up to four separate ways. A 22% service charge will be added to all parties of 6 or more. Zelle, Venmo or PayPal is your friend.

Walk-ins are welcomed and encouraged if reservations are unavailable. If we are on a wait on a busy night guests can join the waitlist remotely via Tock. On weekends or busy concert and event nights, we operate on a first come - first serve basis during any peak times.

We happily accept reservations when available. We release limited reservations for each day. If there are none available, please use the waitlist.
