Time Out says

Imagine your grandmother’s house: Warm and inviting, with no shortage of antique knick-knacks. Now add a ton of booze. Welcome to Big Bar which, despite its name, is actually quite small—about 15 people inside feels snug, though more like a friendly hug than a claustrophobic nightmare. Yet somehow this utterly vintage nook adjacent to Alcove Cafe & Bakery hosts inevitably-packed events with utter ease, from weekly bartender takeovers to monthly movie-themed drinks coinciding with a screening on the patio. Everything about the space is relaxed: A gentle breeze blows through open doors, golden light radiates from tea candles and stained-glass chandeliers, and the prevailing scent is a mix of fresh-squeezed citrus and truffle fries. Even the bistro stools that line a pristine marble-top bar are comfortable. Add to that an uncomplicated yet whimsical drink program, and you’ve reached neighborhood bar heaven. Sit back, relax and sip a handcrafted swill, all prepared with fine spirits, house-made syrups and, most importantly, a whole lot of love. Grandma would approve.
