The Shaker & Vine - Schenectady (NY)

5 /5 Jamie W: Cozy and intimate seating for a date night on some comfy couches. They use actual N/A Spirits in their deliciois mocktails, which was much appreciated as its hard to find Non Alcoholic drinks that arent just fancy juice. By boyfriend was able to enjoy some wonderful NA options here. Service was spot on and the Dubai Chocolate Cocktail was amazing. I also really appreciated that our server went out of her way to verify that my each of my boyfriends drinks were NA so as not to have a mixup

3 /5 Eamon and Bailey: I feel like the big draw here is the aesthetics. Because it’s very cool looking and the cocktails are tasty and fun. However, we arrived shortly before opening to make a reservation and could hear the employees being *screamed* at. When we arrived later for our reservation the employees were very stoic and not super friendly. Our busser offered us water and never came back. It was a very tense weird vibe. Probably wouldn’t come back due to price and atmosphere. Dubai chocolate martini was great though lol.

5 /5 Julie Limback: Enjoyed our time at Shaker and Vine - they have a relaxing but fun atmosphere. They were pretty busy when we went 6pm on a Saturday night (I would recommend reservations). They have a large assortment of drinks, with rotating special cocktails. The bartender John was absolutely amazing, took his craft seriously, and took good care of us! Food was delicious, just a little pricey. Definitely stop by if you are in the area.

5 /5 LeLe: I enjoyed my visit at The Shaker and Vine with some of my friends here. First and foremost I absolutely loved the vibe of this place - made me feel as though I was dining at a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale with all the palm trees and the layout of this spot. The craft cocktail I had was quite strong but the presentation was gorgeous! The food was amazing also! (First time having shrimp scampi styled shrimp on a flat bread - it was fire) I enjoyed it all however personally I wish there was more of a variety to the menu. Other than that a solid ten out of ten.
