| - Great drinks, great location, and easy access!
So I came here on a Thursday morning around 9AM after being given a wait for another dinner. I had twenty minutes to get in, get a buzz and move to chow down. With that in mind myself and a buddy sat down at the well lit, well placed and honestly inviting Catalyst Bar and was I pleased with the performance. The bartender quickly got our orders and began flipping, pouring and stacking with some drops of the plastic glasses. Personally not my thing however kudos on the juggling act and great for the bartender for trying since 2AM.
$15 dollars later and a hearty tip, I got a mimosa with a splash of orange juice and a well mixed bloody marry. The drink was strong and did the trick, not overdoing it on the alcohol spectrum with too much champagne, the bloody marry bitter and spiced and the friendliness at the bar at an all time high. The bar itself was clean, no crowd and well displayed with a specialty menu.
The only recommendation I would make is doing without the 3 minute show with a lot of trial and error. I understand the bartender was tired but closing to the end of his shift it may be time to put away the juggling act, the extra time having us rush our drinks and miss or wait list. Otherwise than that he was extremely kind and mixed well. 10/10 for drinks, 8/10 for cleanliness and 7/10 for service! Not for a quick stop but rather for a drink and some chit chat!
