Harper & Rye

This a lovely classic cocktail bar that I've returned to time and time again. I recently visited to meet up with friends. I arrived early, thanks to an on-time 1-California bus. The bartender quickly welcomed me and handed me a menu. The menu is thorough and provided a few options that tickled my fancy. I also noticed a fun seasonal cocktail menu on the wall. The atmosphere is fun, cool, and speakeasy-ish. My friends were able to quickly order drinks and we sincerely enjoyed our time together. It was also a nice little bonus that a college basketball game that we were interested in was on TV. Harper & Rye will remain on my go-to cocktail destination list!

This is a great neighborhood bar. It's dark and moody inside, with lots of seating including an upstairs loft area. There's also a pool table at the back. It's busy during the weekdays but weekends are packed.My favorite drink on the menu is the Tash & Erik -- it has a unique flavor to it!

Bartender will scoff when you ask for NA drinks and shit talk about you to other people. Bartender said he only sells alcohol....Please get with the times. Almost all bars offer NA options now because not everyone can drink or want to drink alcohol.

Came on a weekend and there was surprisingly a lot of space and some empty tables. Tables are typically first come first serve. The cocktails are decently priced as well. I got the Nick and Janet, which was pretty good and sweet.

This is such a cool bar in the Polk Gulch. Harper and Rye had such a great vibe to chill with friends, have a solid first date, and even a loud lively pregame with a party! In the afternoon, the space has so much natural light, lively plants, and the furniture/rustic wood vibes bring energy to the bar. On the weekends/night, the space is filled with lots of people/laughter and brings an energetic vibe. The cocktail menu is solid, I got the Tash and Erik: gin, ginger, mango, tumeric, lime. It was fresh and light. I also like their beer selection.

The bar tender in the Cowboy hat called me a Faggot when I ordered a beer. He the. Got upset when I refused to tip him, saying he was entitled to a tip.

Harper and Rye is one of my fav bars on Polk! The arched bar is beautiful and the space is split into 2 levels with a pool table in the back. Plenty of tables to grab a seat at and usually a nice crowd. It can get packed depending on the weekend but generally isn't a problem to get in. The bouncers are nice and their featured cocktails are really good, I loved the Bee's Knees that I had recently. Really solid spot to grab a drink and vibe in a lowkey yet buzzing atmosphere.

A $5 mongo cocktail and heavily? Omg definitely try this. Ambience and service is great as well

VIBE:- 2 bartenders were busy and professional- lively- pool tables- I will try and update the menu if I go back, it hasn't been updated on Yelp in awhile DRINK:- bourbon with rye (I forget what it was called on the menu) (8/10)- Ghostown IPA (brewed in Oakland!) (10/10)- good quality - many many options

Bar is great, have some good Gin options for me! Love my Gin! Service was great, the one guy working was slammed but you would never know. He put on a show and was able to hold 3 conversations at once. Honestly he was just amazing if he started juggling it wouldn't surprise me.The space is a great size but has some areas to make you it more private if you are in a date or want some privacy. Few pool tables and some seats upstairs. Clean bathrooms yes clean even at 10pm
