The Modernist

In a building that was once a boring single family home is now a sophisticated energized drinking establishment. Certainly different conceptually from anything around it. A place that encourages collaboration from patron and bartender. I had two variations of a whiskey sour. Both were proper. Afterwords I was made a bespoke beverage that I cannot remember its contents. A creative space that feels like a genuine party. A locals bar that's not dead on the inside. Get here early to nab a seat at the bar and enjoy something new and special maybe even enjoy 4 new special things. I'm drunk and this is on voice to text I hope it makes sense you

This bar truly is unique! Don't be alarmed when it looks like you're walking into a small home, the indoor was kind of like a dive bar with a decent amount of seating. What makes this place cool is that there is no menu, you simply tell the bartenders what your preference is on spirits and flavor profiles. Each drink we had had a cute presentation. The prices did seem to vary, so I'm not sure how this is determined. The later in the night the busier it got, so patience is needed.

3.5 stars. This is a really cool little bar. It's in a living room of a house and the bartenders are super cool (and cute!). The drink I had was ok as was Spencer's old fashion and this place is suppose to be known for its old fashions. So not sure about the drinks.

Not your typical bar! It's menu-less!! Explain what you like and the bartenders will get creative! Ambience is very cozy and comfortable.& drinks range from $12-15 dollars!

When you are up for an adventure, The Modernist is the cocktail bar of choice. It's best to know what you like before stepping in-- flavor profiles, sweetness levels, types of liquor-- because these talented bartenders are going to handcraft something tailored just for you. It is a menu-less concept, so you'll probably never get the same thing twice here. Which means you must savor and relish every sip. It's quaint and cozy inside, and you never know what kind of music will be playing (whoever grabs the aux cord for the night) which is just as unpredictable and experimental as the drinks! It feels high brow but is in a super casual setting.

The Modernist is a hidden gem where creativity flows freely in every sip. Dave and Damaris, the dynamic duo behind the bar, are not just bartenders but artists crafting cocktails with flair and finesse. Their welcoming demeanor instantly makes you feel at home in this chic establishment. Each cocktail is a masterpiece of artistic alchemy, making every visit an unforgettable experience.

Love this unique cocktail bar. From the outside, it might not look like much, but the old phrase, "don't judge a book by its cover," definitely applies here. I love the menuless theme. The mixologists are great and can make anything you want. I'm a bourbon lover, so I opted for an old fashioned. Hands down, this was one of the best I've ever had. Woot!! I now follow them on IG.If I'm ever in this area, I'm stopping by here!

I used to go here often pre pandemic, and I was curious what it was like since it's under new ownership. The vibe is still what you would expect from other reviews--dark, cozy and intimate. The bartenders were approachable and friendly. I decided not to drink and I'm glad I did--I had an incredible mocktail that was similar to a Paloma. It blew me away. It was so fresh and had a hint of rhubarb that really took it to the next level. I will definitely be back for a date night with my hubby soon.

First time trying this cute, EXTREMELY cozy bar. Maaaaan it was so chill and the mixologist are absolutely amazing at their craft! They will help you find your taste and will try out flavors you mentioned. Music on point (im a musician myself) once i heard some Frank Ocean playing... was sold! Try it out yall, it's so chill, couches, comfy chairs and bar stools. I recommend! Amazing service too btw! I drank amazing cosmo with a twist!

We came in after a Fiesta event just recently to The Modernist since we were looking for a spot to relax and shake off the wet weather. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to park (right in front off street parking) and come right in. Do note that this spot is unmarked and unlabeled. You kind of have to know where you are going because this spot looks like someone's house (and might've been before!). There is a yellow mailbox in front and a neon sign in the window that you can see from the street - this is how you will know you arrived.Walking in it was pretty chill. A few areas to seat on a couch-setting and coffee table for your drinks on the right and plenty of bar seating at the bar on the left. There is a patio in the back, with a bar as well, so if it seems too crowded in front go visit the bar staff and bar past the restrooms and outside the patio to the right.This is a no-menu concept spot and bar so be ready to share with the bartender what flavor profiles you are in the mood for. The bartender came out from behind the bar and greeted us. We were impressed he did this and made the experience of coming here so much more personable and comfortable. It negates the feeling you just walked into someone else's party as you will see that many of the other drinkers here are in deep conversations, huddled and smiling together around candlelight, and the lighting really sets the chill mood. This evening we were in the mood for fruity vodka drinks and my BF was feeling like a tiki drink. We were all very happily watching our bartender custom make our drinks behind the bar using ALL fresh ingredients. It was so refreshing to watch a bartender take their time making our cocktails rather than banging it out and trying to move on to the next customer. I felt super happy about my tasty fresh raspberry vodka cocktail. Seating in the back patio was nice to be able to get out of a crowded inside area. There are many condos and new construction at the back of this bar so be aware that you might hear some construction noises in the day but at night it was chill. I liked the peanut-shaped swing/seat outdoors and the picnic tables around the corner to people watch off of E Grayson. We are excited to come back soon when we are back in town as this bar was just the bees knees. This is a great place to bring your friends to an elevated bar in the area that you will be happy you did because of the ambiance and chill vibes The Modernist is.
