Cuya

A few of us decided to check out this cocktail bar that is located on Glenwood Ave above the Cortez. I was able to try the Rosamaria, Jalisco Boi, Bebesota and Thicc Mami. The drinks were all good. We visited earlier in the evening so it was not busy but it definitely seems like it becomes more club like later in the night. So the time that you visit will depend on the vibe that you are looking for.

Cuya is the newest bar and lounge in Glenwood South! Located right above Cortez Seafood is a mod bar and lounge with island vibes and sleek decor. Take the stairs to the left of the building and walk up into a multi-hued paradise. The focus is on fruit-forward cocktails and in particular, passionfruit. The space is fun, the music is fun which means I think you'll have a fun time when you visit. I'm guessing that the vibe changes a bit as you get late night, maybe a DJ and some dancing after 10pm? I'm not sure if I'll stay up that late to find out but I think you'll like Cuya if you enjoy a good cocktail in a lush and beautiful space, nuff said.

I was excited to check out the new cocktail bar upstairs from Cortez for a birthday cocktail. They have a small menu you can order from and we were informed it would expand. I was initially told by one of the bartenders that I would have to walk down and get my fries from Cortez but when I went down, I asked if that would be customary and was informed that they have runners so my sisters food was brought to her.. Since Cuya is a cocktail bar I'll rate the drinks. I love the added touches and attention to detail. Our drinks were tasty and definitely different. The atmosphere is really chic..Loved the furniture, wallpaper and art.. oh and the bathroom mirror lol you can touch it and the light dims. When we got there they had only been open for like an hour so it wasn't crowded at all.Even when people came in, it was a nice flow.. All and all the vibe was nice and I'll check it out again...

New cocktail bar that is located on Glenwood right above Cortez! I visited on a Thursday evening and their cocktails are amazing! You'll have to walk up stairs right above the Cortez and walk in to a vibey aesthetic cocktail bar. The lighting is dim and they played some chill music that fit the mood of the place. I like how low-key the vibe is and the drinks are very unique. They also have some classic cocktails as well and a list of beer and wine. I really enjoyed the Jalisco Boi cocktail that had a little bit of spice. The Cruz Control was also delicious with a smokey taste and subtle raspberry flavor from the raspberry violet syrup. I really enjoyed these drinks and will definitely be visiting again!

This is a nice place to visit they have pretty good music and good drinks, i think drinks are overpriced a little bit (again my personal opinion) but it is a good place to be with some friends. I don't have pics to post.

Love the space, music and few crafted cocktails. My only suggestion is if you want to stand out from the rest of the basic bars on Glenwood you must serve your drinks in glasses. No brainier.Music is great and the crowd is classier then anywhere else.

Super cool ambiance. Great service and cocktails. Can order food from the restaurant below.
