Labyrinth Bar is such a great place to start your night if you're older and want a place to chill. If you get here before 10pm, usually I'd go at 8:30-9pm, you get half priced drinks if you order an appetizer/side like the truffle fries! The drinks are about $15 on average, so you're getting drinks for $7.50 which means you can get 3 drinks for under $25. Plus the appetizers are actually quite good. One note, the music slowly gets louder and louder every 20 minutes starting at 8:45, so by 9:45 the music is blasting lol.

Came the other night to catch up with an old friend. Thank you to our lovely bartender, Anna, for the delicious drinks and great conversations! I will be coming back.

My sister and I stopped by Labyrinth Bar & Kitchen on a Saturday night around 8:30pm. Although I've never been to the bar before, I was made aware by the bouncer that we came at a good time to grab a few drinks before the dance club kicked in. Labyrinth was a cute and trendy bar. Despite not having a DJ at the time we arrived, they had a great hip hop playlist on rotation that we easily vibed with. We had the convenience of having one bartender assist us since the place wasn't busy at all. She was efficient and made our drinks in a timely manner. I ordered a couple of cocktails including the "Queen of Hearts" and "Black Samurai." Queen of Hearts was a sweet and fruity gin drink. Black Sumurai, on the other hand, was quite interesting. Who knew that activated charcoal cocktails were now a thing? Detox before getting intox... I guess?! Black samurai had sake and lychee flavors that I could taste predominantly. This cocktail came frozen though, which didn't make it the easiest drink especially with their biodegradable/paper straws. I would recommend asking the bartender to get this drink blended well into a slushie consistency prior to consumption.

I have never tried their food here, so I cannot judge that. I've always been here after their kitchen has closed just for drinks and music. Around the early evenings, this place is chill - definitely a vibe for starting out the night. Around the late evenings is where it can be very packed. Lines would always form outside. In order to get a drink at the bar, you'll really have to squeeze through people. Most seats are reserved. These are very typical for a popular bar, but it's packed for many good reasons. The music is great - people are always dancing, almost as if the place is an actual club. One of my favorite drinks here is the Black Samurai which is a lychee-flavored cocktail. It is so good! Despite being really chaotic, the bartenders are very friendly and always have a smile on their faces. This place is quite small, so it does get packed really fast. When bar hopping around the area, this bar is a great place to start.

Good drinks, good music, super chill bartenders. Tables are bottle service only technically, but you can sit there until they're taken. Not much room for an official dancefloor, but enough space to make it work.

Labyrinth had been on my list for a while, and I finally got to visit for date night on Saturday evening. My boyfriend and I showed up around 7:15 and found the place nearly empty - only one party there besides us. Our friendly server/bartender immediately greeted us and gave us our menus, and we picked a cozy table near the window. I really liked the decor here - great looking bar, instagrammable neon sign, creative lighting fixtures, etc. To our surprise, the kitchen was closed (we were planning to grab dinner), but we decided to stay for a round of drinks, since it was happy hour. The happy hour here was actually fantastic, since all cocktails are half priced. I ordered a Queen of Hearts (not bad, but a little sweeter than I expected) and my boyfriend chose the Black Samurai. I can't say enough about this cocktail! First off, the presentation is awesome - a black frozen drink with a whole lychee and gold flakes on top. I was getting messages all night asking what we were drinking/where we were. But on top of that, it's also delicious - a unique combination of sake, lychee, ginger, and activated charcoal. Our server recommended that we visit on a Friday next time, when the kitchen is typically open. She was also gave us a ton of dinner recommendations for after, including Nomikai, where we ended up going. So nice! Will absolutely be back for the half priced drinks, and I hope to try the food next time.
