Hard to Explain

"Hard to Explain is a cozy bar that has a variety of delicious mixed drinks. They don't serve any hard liquor, so anticipate a unique sake twist on some of your favorites! There are also an array of various beers and wines, so you'll definitely find something you'll enjoy."

"You could probably explain Hard to Explain as - "A cute bar that serves sake, wine, liqueur and aperitif cocktails in a space lit by oil lamps, that exude the intimate date spot slash hole in the wall vibe for those seeking such places with antique items and dried flowers for decor, to meet long lost friends and lovers you haven't seen in a while with chill vinyls being played by the staff as they craft unique cocktails for you to imbibe." Well, that's what comes to my mind in the least. As of this review, know that Hard to Explain does not have a hard liquor license but it doesn't stop them from crafting some unique tasting drinks which they sell along with snacks and imported beers. Worth it! This one goes in my "Best Bars / Speakeasy's of the World" list."

"This Japanese-themed cocktail bar is pretty small, fitting around 12 people. The bar can be easy to overlook since there are no signs; just a small chalkboard out front. There are no tables, just stools at the bar. It gets crowded fast, even by 4 pm. The bartender was really friendly and kept an eye on us, refilling our water as we checked out the menu. They've got some interesting cocktails priced between $19 and $21. I'd suggest trying the Cameron Obscura and Cafe Purr-risa. They take credit cards."

"cute and intimate bar with bar seating only. walked in around 7:30 on a tuesday and it was not too busy. really good vibe and music isn’t too loud, making it very easy to talk/hear i was told the Cameron Obscura was the most popular; i thought it was fine and too sweet tbh. Ma-Chet Baker was super unique though. drinks aren’t strong at all. there was only one person behind the bar when we went also sometimes unclear when it’s open — my friend has tried to come here twice before but both times it was booked out by an event"

"A cozy and quaint bar that offers a nice selection of cocktails, sake/beer/wine, and snacks. They play jazz music and the bartenders are exceptionally kind and attentive. The space is small and lovely and transports you to another country without having to leave the city. Highly recommended!"
