Al's Wine & Whiskey Lounge

"This was a great find! I was visiting for a few days for work and was looking for a bar to enjoy a glass of good bourbon. This place has an amazing selection to say the least. The bartender was super friendly and made the experience great!"

"Al’s balances this incredibly rare thing of being a dive bar, but also an incredible cocktail bar all at the same time. I don’t recommend going late and being flooded with college kids but early in the evening, go and give them an idea for what you like, and drink something unique and delicious. A true gem."

"Absolutely love the vibe of this place the lighting is so cozy and it's warm, perfect to get away from the cold for a drink. They have lots of Couches and places to sit it was so comfortable and romantic to lounge with my husband on their Couches right by the window. They have an amazing alcohol selection and the bartenders are very friendly. They made me a killer long Island ice tea and a Malibu bay breeze. Prices aren't bad either! They have pool and darts as well. Definitely one of my favorite lounges in the area"

"My husband and I went here on my birthday because I wanted to try absinthe for the first time (a bucket list item for me). I loved the very relaxed and comfy vibe of the place, which suits my style. I loved that they had multiple brands of absinthe to choose from, including the brand I wanted. The bartender was skilled in terms of preparation and also filled in some of the gaps in my theoretical knowledge when I asked. (I appreciated that he didn't condescend or mansplain.) The drink was delicious and I enjoyed it. (My husband was just there to support my birthday wish and was nursing a diet Coke, but he did try a sip of my drink and liked it, too.) I was also pleasantly surprised by the price. I'd been prepared to pay more, based on... every other drink I've ever ordered anywhere. All in all, it was a perfect, laid-back, but fun birthday experience. As an introvert who mostly likes quiet (until I'm in the mood to rock out), I chose a Monday night specifically hoping to avoid a noisy crowd, and there were a bunch of other folks there, but there was plenty of personal space and I could carry on a conversation with my husband and the bartender without shouting."

"This place has been around for quite some time. I've been to this place multiple times and it's always a pleasant experience. The inside has a very nice prohibition era speakeasy style ambiance. Oriental rugs, old leather couches and chairs, really give it this kind of cigar parlor type of feel. They have a very impressive wall of spirits. The bartenders are also very pleasant and knowledgeable. If you don't know what you want to drink, and you can pretty much tell them what you're interested in, types of flavors you like and they will surprise you. If you don't like to drink they make you, they won't be offended, they'll just make you another one. Great customer service and just great place in general. I highly recommend people who like classic cocktails to check this place out because they will definitely make you an excellent drink."
