Agency

Agency is a pretty unique bar in that they provide each cocktail as a non-alcoholic version with the same flavor profile. From what I hear, it's the first of its kind in the nation.They seem to change up their menu somewhat regularly (I only wrote down one name from the pictures I'm providing on this post, couldn't find the name for the other two).Beyond the menu, they have a "Dealer's Choice" card you can fill out based on spirits you like and flavor profile you're feeling in the moment.A few of the profiles I circled were spicy, smoky, and coffee - thinking they'd pick one or two, they somehow managed to include all 3 and it hit the spot (I could notice easy flavor profile - without it being overwhelming or a bad combination).Try to get a reservation before you go, I have gone once without one and couldn't get a seat that night (grabbed a reservation for the next night instead).

Tried Agency before our dinner reservation. They didn't have any openings online so we showed up at 4PM when they opened and easily found a table. They were in between menus so a few things were out but we were still able to order the cocktails we wanted. I tried a Bee's mentality and loved it! Usually it comes with the honeycomb chocolate but didn't since the menu was changing. Floral and light. Great option if you like gin. My sister liked the Saturn more. The passion fruit was great and had a pistachio after taste. The inside is beautiful and moody. A smaller space but a nice mix of bar stools, couches and high tops. There is also a back room for ~15 people that can be rented for private events.

Hands down one of the best cocktail bars in the city! I've visited both locations and both were amazing - however their new location within the Dubbel is perfect and feels like Agency's home (decor and ambience).Kat and team have truly created something special for craft cocktail lovers and newbies alike! Their classic, experimental and even dealer's choice cocktails are amazing and can be enjoyed spirited and NA. So excited for all that they have to offer the city's nightlife!

I have been really wanting to try this new cocktail spot. On the reservation app they say reservations are recommended but not required. When I looked for a reservation on a Friday, there were none available. So we took our chances and arrived when they opened right at 5 PM and were told that Reservations were REQUIRED on a Friday and Saturday. This is not stated anywhere on their website, reservation site, or Instagram. I really hope they update this to reflect what they tell patrons who want to walk in. Hope to update my rating if we are able to get in.

Review is based only on drinks.For this primarily beer/wine drinker, this was an interesting experience. So glad I tried a cocktail! Such attention to detail - even down to the beer stamped on the giant icecube. Every sip was remarkable. Really.The ambiance makes me think of the roaring 1920s or what I imagine it had been like. Should have worn a flapper dress!This place is for adventurous people that appreciate experimentation. If you only ever drink the same thing, maybe just stick with your favorite bar.

Still great! New menu with great new flavors. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Music and vibe is always on point.

Top tier service, beautiful setting. Overall drinks and accompaniments a bit too sweet for me. Loved the Dominicana drink. Great energy.

Love the service everybody is so kind and helpful with picking your drinks. Drinks are very tasty also can't wait to go back.

10/10 service and atmosphere. Where they lose the 5 star rating for me was the sweetness of the drinks. We did the tasting menu which had some amazing drinks and one of a kind experiences. However all of the drinks and even most of the food had a sweet aspect. For a mainly whiskey or red wine drinker it was too much. I found myself praying for a pallet cleanser so I could appreciate all the flavors of the drink. I think with some tweaking it could be amazing.
