Edited in 2025: I'm adding 2 new pictures from my most recent visit as Hunt & Alpine has now remodeled. Looks great and same great experience. Still a 5/5! Original review below: Hung out at Hunt & Alpine while waiting for someone nearby. Was very impressed! The bourbon selection was awesome and the old fashioned a cut above. Prices were fair as well. Highly recommend.

Delicious drinks! Bartenders are knowledgeable and artfully craft fantastic drinks. If you’re looking for a unique drink, try the, “Green Eyes”. It’s made with a unique liquor called, Chartreuse and is a blend of sweet and earthy flavors. The snapper hot dog and pretzel are great items to enjoy. Get the pimento cheese with your pretzel!

Fun spot for quick cocktails and/or dinner. Bonecrusher is spicy and cooling at the same time. Green Eyes is simple, easy to drink and slightly tart. Charcuterie board has mostly vinegar foods but the cabbage is the standout with the rye! The was the first place on our stop and the oyster here were perfect! When we first arrived, I was a bit underwhelmed with the inside but we stayed and I am really happy that we did.

This is my first time enjoying Hunt & Alpine since the pandemic. It felt so good to be recognized by the bartender and welcomed back as a customer. The outdoor space is really lovely and the Clove Hitch cocktail is as good as I remember. 8/25/21: Updated with more photos from recent visits.

This space makes you feel instantly relaxed and comfortable. Patrons are laughing and casually sipping fantastic cocktails! The owners seem to understand how important it is to take care of their staff since they're the daily face of their company! Staff names are listed in the drink menu to show gratitude. Also, the current speciality cocktails are from bartenders who have worked there over the last 20 years as part of their anniversary celebration. The food was delicious - seriously considering the rice crispy treat to end your visit, it's fantastic! Our cocktails were perfectly made (thanks Vivian) and very unique! Can't wait to come back!

Stopped in for a quick drink. The cocktail menu is inventive with plenty to choose from. Drinks were delicious. Staff was engaging and fun to talk to. Would definitely come back to try more.

Sat at the bar and ordered a Manhattan. The bartender asked what kind and I didn't know there was a thing called a black Manhattan but how she made it was delicious. They were out of the smoked salmon and it was only 730pm so that was too bad but I really liked it! Didn't eat there so no review of the food. The ONLY negative (and it's not even a negative about them!) was that I was the only so gle person at the bar so other than the bartenders, when they weren't super busy) I didn't talk to anyone. If you're a single person looking to socialize it's probably not the best place but if you want a good Manhattan this was that!

Charming cocktail bar with a great drink selection and some tasty snacks to go with it. The sourdough bread, warm olives, and popcorn are must-tries—simple yet perfectly done.
