About this restaurant

Charming
Great for happy hour
Fancy

Short Turn: A vibey and narrow cocktail/snack bar from the folks who made 416 Snack Bar - just a short turn around the corner from the original.

Start with the coldest martini in the city, ideally paired with our excellent cheeseburger, and then then pick from the cocktail list or ask a bartender for something bespoke to your tastes. Happy hour from 5-7pm daily features the whole list at ten bucks a pop!

The space was designed to conjure up train bars of a bygone time, on the streetcar ride home from downtown to the west end. A short turn is ordinarily the annoying experience of having your car re-routed, having to get off and transfer - here, you would step into an experience of unique hospitality, snacks and libation.

Staff was amazing. My fiancé fainted by the bar and the bartender cradled him in his arms until he felt better. 10/10 will go back
