The Berkshire Room is an upscale lounge specializing in craft cocktails all created by a talented team.

    Our server was great as were our drinks. However the host was as not very welcoming when we arrived- he pointed out that making our reservation within an hour of arriving was “risky as tables are very limited.” I would assume if there is an opening on OpenTable, then there would be an available table, which I’d why we booked it. When we got into the bar, there were several open tables but he insisted on putting us at the high top in the corner that he referred to as “not ideal.” Our drinks and everything else were great, but the host made us feel like an inconvenience so we only stayed for one round of cocktails.

    This place is an interesting vibe. The appearance and the music do not match. The music should be a jazz, Frank Sinatra vibe to match the appearance of the place. But the music that plays is like 2010 Usher. It is a fun environment but this place attracts those in their late twenties, early thirties but the music doesn’t match

    Terribly slow service, understaffed maybe. Used to be a go-to for me, but this is twice in a row I’ve been disappointed in the service. Don’t go if you’re grabbing one drink before going elsewhere or you’ll miss your next reservation. Even if you allow 2 hours leeway. The drinks are still good.

    Always a great spot for some cocktails. The atmosphere is very intimate and the dealers choice is a fun and easy way to try some new profiles of drinks. Went with a group of friends and everyone was happy with the experience. Great option for a date or some drinks before going out.

    We stopped here for a drink before dinner and loved it! Each of us did the ‘dealers choice’ drink and all chose differently, every one was so good! Highly recommend.
