A nice little spot for a drink and conversation. It was a stop on a journey through the area so I didn't get food. There was a pretty nostalgic ambiance and 70s feel with the wall paper, decor and seating. I would definitely come back.

The Lewis is a unique bar with a great atmosphere! If you want to get away from the usual bar and get some of the 70s vibe and good drinks, then this is the spot for you.
Our friend’s had their Welcome Party here and it was the perfect cozy and cool place to kick off their Wedding weekend! The drinks were absolutely fantastic, the staff were courteous, knowledgeable, and had great recommendations to top of their mixing abilities. I’m sad we live many states away because otherwise we’d become regulars.
We had our wedding welcome party here and couldn’t recommend it more! The pricing was super reasonable, the space was so cute and vibey and Dan and the rest of the staff were super accommodating.
The atmosphere is fantastic at this little cocktail bar. Be sure to get there early as it fills up quickly and the space is limited during busy hours. We generally visit here in a group of 2-4 people and stay for up to 2 cocktails before visiting neighboring restauraunts or bars which are super walkable. Service at the Lewis is fantastic as well. I would suggest finding a seat at the bar and accepting recommendations and which drinks to try.
We hosted a party at The Lewis last night and were so impressed by how seamless and easy the entire planning process was. The staff communicated clearly every step of the way, which made everything stress-free. Dominic was our server for the evening, and he was absolutely wonderful—attentive, on top of drinks and water, and he brought such a great personality to the night. He played a big part in making the event run so smoothly. We had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend hosting your next party here!
Always a nice visit, good variety of drinks on and off menu. Passionate staff and most are extremely well versed in bar knowledge and liquor use
We hosted an engagement party here for my cousins, and I could not recommend them more. The owner and other employees were so incredibly helpful, kind, accommodating, the whole 9 yards. I will 100% consider them when hosting another event in the future and cannot recommend them more. Thank you guys so much. - Olivia
