I hosted a surprise engagement party at Twist this past Saturday night and everyone had a great time. It was the perfect size for 35-40 people and the staff was great. The minimum spend situation was extremely fair and reasonable as well compared to other bars in the area. Communication in setting up the event was seamless as was getting the place ready for the party. Will be back!

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a birthday event at Twist Bar in Chelsea, and I can confidently say it was an amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this place is something special. The owner truly goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone feels welcomed and taken care of. It’s evident that they genuinely care about the guests who walk through the door. The atmosphere at Twist Bar is fantastic – a perfect balance of laid-back and lively, making it an ideal setting for any occasion. Whether you’re there for a casual drink or a special celebration, the vibe is always on point. For my birthday, the owner made sure every detail was taken care of. The service was impeccable, and the entire staff went out of their way to make sure everyone had a great time. It really felt like they were part of the celebration, not just employees doing their job. That kind of personal attention is rare and really made the night unforgettable. I highly recommend Twist Bar for anyone looking for great drinks, a fun atmosphere, and exceptional service. Whether you're planning an event or just stopping by for a drink, this place never disappoints!

Twist Bar totally blew me away! From the moment I walked in, the energy was electric — the perfect mix of upbeat and cozy. The cocktails here aren’t just drinks, they’re little works of art. Each sip was packed with flavor and creativity, clearly made by bartenders who know their craft inside and out.

Twist is our go to local cocktail bar and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Ricky, from Milk and Hops, and Catherine are great.

Shelly is the kjndest bartender. I just moved to the city and she was super warm and gave some great recs! Will definitely be back again. The knocker dropper shot is also a highlight. The nutty hazelnut flavors with the citrusy. Mind blowing!

Jackie was our server at Twist and he took great care of us! He was a wonderful server- very attentive, checked on us frequently and was super sweet. We will definitely come back to Twist bar again.

I visited with some friends recently, and it was such a fun experience! We kicked things off with the special shots, which were a hit — unique and flavorful. The atmosphere was laid-back and welcoming, making it a great spot to hang out. We also tried the German pretzel with homemade cheese sauce, and it was incredible — soft, warm, and paired perfectly with the rich, creamy cheese. Everything was spot on, and I can't wait to return for more!
