Been once... it won't be $20 per drink but $20 per round for you and your date is probably accurate.

I don't know about the NA beer situation.

I've been once. It's a neat little place. Pretty good craft beer selection, abundance of different cocktails. I'd go back again.

I've been a couple of times. One of the owners was a work supervisor of mine fairly recently.
Good place that caters to the professional crowd in that area. They make nice drinks, in the $8-$12 range. They use premium spirits, so that's a fair price.
I'm usually a beer drinker, but I had cocktails and whiskey when I went there. I dunno if they have NA beer. You're probably better off just ordering a club soda with lemon or lime. (You end up drinking it like a cocktail and most places will give you one for free, especially if you're buying drinks for a date.)

Meh the cocktails I ordered were like 9ish.
Incredibly interesting cocktails, awesome owner, and decent atmosphere. I had a great time.

I drink diet coke like crazy so I find mixing lemon and lime with my diet coke to be delicious.

Or a nice cocktail bar like that could probably make a yummy cherry coke

I enjoyed it. Cool place and I remember paying less than I thought I would. The guy that served our table was good at recommending drinks for the girls and brought us out a round of free shots. Would go back

Oh, I don't know about that. The Missus and I never liked the Wine Loft. Now, we like Blend a lot, but that's a wine bar. I don't know if they even have the ingredients to make a screwdriver there -- unless a waiter has a flask of vodka on him.

I hope your joking.

The wine loft is basically a small scale club. Shitty beer selection. Avg. cocktail selection, and club music so loud you can't have a conversation.

Olive and Twist is much better, IMO.
