| - I consider myself a booze aficionado. I can safely say that Opus's drinks are both creative and delightful. The raspberry beer is lighter than the berry weiss that you can buy in the store. It is true the prices are a little bit up there, but if you can make it to happy hour a majority of their drinks are half priced. (HINT: Please read the menu! Some drinks are never on happy hour special, and please don't embarrass yourself by arguing because you cannot read.) At times Opus does reek of pretension, when this happens: take a couple of sips of your perfectly crafted drink, eavesdrop, then take a deep breath, when you exhale you should feel a smug sense of superiority that you are only that pretentious in your head and not out loud or something. I found the seating comfortable-- true it is a little unconventional. The atmosphere is a little romantic and you are able to have a conversation with your friends without yelling. The only reason why I am not donning this establishment with 5 stars is because of the pretentious yuppie and hipster problem and the servers seem to impose gratuity tables of 5 or more... and I find being gratuitied insulting. (since I'm a fabulous tipper, but not when I am being forced to tip.. eff that) I haven't sampled their food-- mostly because their menu is a little over priced for what is on it and if I must pay for the atmosphere at Opus, I would rather buy a drink.
In sum, unless you're severely allergic to art students, hipsters, or yuppies, go here for wonderfully well-thought out drinks and adept service.
