Cocktails

Our cocktail menu is divided into 3 sections. The first section is made of fun, fruity drinks with customizable proof points. The second is all about the classics. And the third is where we dive a little deeper. These cocktails are going to be stronger flavors and showcase the depth of of what cocktails can be.

Beer & Wine

We will always feature a rotating selection of beer that will include a Light, IPA and Dark option.

We will also have a curated and delicious, albeit small, selection of red and white wines.

Zero and Half proof

Drinking preferences are changing and the industry must follow suit. This is why we have created the first of it's kind Pick-Your-Proof cocktail menu. Thinking low ABV? Go Half Proof. Not drinking? Go Zero Proof. California sober? We got something for that too!

Reviews

We’ve got plenty of news and promotion, be the first to read all about it. Each boutique resort tells a unique story.

Popped in for drinks before a concert and LOVED the vibe. Drinks were awesome and staff was low key, yet very attentive and friendly. Just the perfect spot for some fancy cocktails on a beautiful atmosphere.

Had no idea that the Christmas theme was alllll out at the Haymaker. Great environment with plenty of things to look at. Holiday menu with craft cocktails and custom fun holiday glassware, including Hanukkah! You can also purchase your own fun glass to take home.
whether you sit for a drink or so and stroll- great stop.

Andrea Martin

Loved this place!! Super chill, cute and great drinks! Haven’t gone during Christmas yet but deff want to!

Manuela Jones

I was in town and didn't want to deal with a large crowd. This spot was recommended and it did not disappoint. If you want a place to chill and relax this would be it. It's not large but it was just right for the grown and sexy. I was in jeans and a button up shirt, but all saw all types of attire worn.i didn't try any food but the drinks were on point.

Stopped by on a weeknight and enjoyed their Sing Like a Bee cocktail made with Earl Grey tea infused gin. Loved that it came in an English tea cup. Perfect mix of cocktails, music and company. Need to come back with a bigger group to try their punch bowls!

This is a fun and unique cocktail bar. Came on a Friday night when it was incredibly busy. There seemed to be two separate wedding parties at the same time. Certainly a popular spot. We shared a punch bowl between three of us which was really enjoyable. The music is deafeningly loud. But that just probably shows my age. 🙂 definitely a fun place and look forward to coming back and trying more punch bowls.
