    First time at Second Story, outstanding refurbishment of the old space. Two bars, great seating areas and lively crowd. A little noisy to talk but great music and DJ so it balances out. Highly recommend.

    Second Story served my husband probably the best martini he has ever had. The Duke Martini refers to a signature drink at Duke's Bar in London. Frozen glass, frozen No.3 Gin, lemon - perfect. I enjoyed both the expresso martini and the Nothin's But A G Thang - Bourbon, ginger, honey - so good!!! We will be back!

    Came on a Friday night, it’s a beautiful bar but the lack of food/snack options is not great. The cocktails were just ok, for the price I expect more. Waitresses could use better training on alcohol service. I like the idea/concept of this bar but the execution is lacking.

    The hostess was great, welcoming & friendly Once seated the service was not good at all. Waited a loooong time for our server to take our drink order (had to tell another server to get ours)- place was pretty empty so there was no lack of employees. She was not rude but did not acknowledge that she took so long. It took 1 &1/2 hr to have one drink each (party of 2) The place itself is wonderful but service needs much improvement. I hope it they do because it’s a cool place & open late
