| - tl;dr - lots of great cocktails to choose from, great tasting but a little overpriced food, and very helpful service staff.
My first experience with sit down cocktails was traumatizing, but I definitely enjoyed Bitter & Twisted. It's a great place to take a cozy group of 4 or less; maybe 6 for a special occasion or if you don't mind waiting.
The menu is super helpful for providing options for you - must be over 100 drinks at least. If you don't know what you want, you can tell the servers what kind of drink you want or something similar, and they can either point you towards a menu cocktail that fits the bill or custom make the drink as needed. A lot of options for spirits here, so I think you'll be set.
I like citrus, so I opted for both the Limoncetta and the Lemongrass Collins, one of their top 10 most popular. The first is great if you love that lemon flavor - because that's ALL you're getting! As for the lemongrass, while the glass is much taller with the ice, I definitely feel is more balanced and I can see why it's popular. Both are very refreshing if you're into that.
Can't vouch for my friends' quality of drinks, I just know one of them had absinthe.
As for the food, it's hit or miss for size but I wouldn't come here on an empty stomach. The brisket tacos are a fantastic appetizer but they won't fill you up - each taco is a size of a coaster. The Chips and Fish are a much better bang for your buck if you want food. Honestly I'd come having eaten already or get something quick afterwards.
I wish college towns offered more places like Bitter & Twisted. It's a nice chill place to socialize, the drinks are well made, and you probably won't get shit faced on cheap bud light.
