Reviews for Vena's Fizz House in Portland, ME
Cocktails here are fantastic. We had the Maine margarita and the cucumber cooler. The cucumber cooler was especially good. We... also went inside the shop and bought some bitters made by Vena. Would recommend! Read more
Loved this place! Both alcoholic and non with interesting ingredients including many types of bitters, phosphates and shrubs.... It's a little retro-y hipster but in a fun way. Menu is categorized by flavor profile. Staff was super knowledgeable and happyto answer any questions. We each ordered two drinks - my second was suggested by the bartender and included a beet shrubcomponent which was surprisingly delicious. Not many seats but there are places to roost and 2 small bistro tables out front. Ifyou try something you like, ask for the recipe - the small store sells almost everything you'd need (other than the actualalcohol), including vintage bar sets, a variety of bitters and alcohol infusion "kits". Well worth your time, even withnon-drinkers. Only food seems to be truffle popcorn so don't come hungry. Looking forward to coming back and trying somethingnew. Read more
One of the most incredible bars I've ever visited. They have AMAZING drinks, made with care and creativity. They really showcase... what's possible with the addition of bitters to drinks! They are also happy to share any of their drink recipes, and sell aninsane variety of bitters on site. Read more
Love this place!!!! As if being transformed into an apothecary, they serve a array of cocktails with interesting bitters and is... also available for purchase. There were some interesting glass wares on display and would like to revisit and see what getsserved in them. The bartender was very knowledgeable and seem to love the craft, which made the drinking experience moreexciting being able to geek out with a fellow enthusiast. Read more
Vena's Fizz House is a lovely place that can appeal to everyone! They have mocktails for the non drinkers, sodas for the kids,... and fabulous craft cocktails for the ones who love a boozy libation or two. It also doubles as a shop where you can purchaseall sorts of bitters and other items essential to your bar at home! Worth a stop in your stay in Portland! Read more
Great drinks and interesting things in a quirky store/bar that feels lost in time. Super friendly staff will be only too pleased... to help you navigate your way through their extensive range of bitters, liqueurs, other unusual or uncommon flavorings. Read more
Definitely the best cocktails in town, hands down. The Smoother than a stout cocktail is amazing. Steve and the crew there make... you feel welcome. They have the most selection of bitters I'v ever seen in one place. Read more
TRY THEIR VIRTUAL COCKTAIL/MOCKTAIL CLASSES! Just did one and it was sooo much fun. I gifted a mocktail virtual class for a... pregnant friend. Great idea not only during a pandemic, because it's virtual, but also for anyone who likes a delicious drinkwithout the alcohol (I added alcohol to mine, so anyone can enjoy really). HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Steve lead our class and he wassuper nice and fun! They send all the ingredients you will need for the class to your house so it's also very convenient and noneed to go out grocery shopping (again, especially during a pandemic). Read more
