Botanist

Not entirely sure how to write this, but sadly Botanist is Closed. We opened up during the best of times in a neighborhood that was vibrant and trendy. We open on the principles of a small classy cocktail bar with the friendliness of a neighborhood haunt. We wanted to push boundaries and question those that came before us in order to push the craft and art that is drinking well. Covid came and between trying to help the community, supporting those that were worse off than ourselves we made the choice to move upstairs. And while that choice was probably the only one that we had, it then became an impossible journey that we can no longer weather. And sadly our motley pirate ship has sailed its last voyage and will come to rest. Thank you all for the memories, we will cherish them as we all head out on the next journey.

The week’s entertainment on our events side is a treat for all the senses!! Elevate Unity Concerts, October 14th - 16th, 2021
