Olive or Twist is a cool place but when it gets busy, it takes forever to get a drink. The suspender clad hipster "mixologists" work at the same pace whether there are 100 people there or 2. Also, it's fairly small so it doesn't take many people for it to be crowded.

Too many barrel aged beers for the summertime

They are only good when the temp outside is colder than the beer

It's called making a drink correctly. They also aren't pouring many jack N cokes.

It's expanded recently also

Every specialty cocktail place on earth takes time. They aren't pouring Crown and Cokes for everyone.

This. It is indeed a cool place, but holy hell, don't go if there are ever more than 4 people in line.

Please stay drinking at the Applebees bar or wherever you currently drink at.

"Sorry, ma'am, I can't release this drink to the public until this cucumber, mint, dill, and simple syrup muddle has infused for at least 30 mins. I'm going to sit here, monitor it, and bullshite with other customers until it has achieved perfection. Sorry to the other 900 people in line."

I go there. That's how I know this information.


You can use wine glasses for something other than sniffing your own farts, you know.

They are expanding into the shop next door, if that expansion isn't complete, it should be really close.

When is the release of KBS? Should be coming up soon eh? That would be the only reason I fight traffic to get to Olive or Twist.

They aren't slow on their drink times and the ones they do make are great.

My main complain is the plaxe smells like a fry kitchen and it is a little cramped, but that doesn't keep me from going there.
