Serenata - Calumet-Norvelt

This place was incredible. Amazing cocktails, and wonderful staff. The whole area is a super fun vibe. Would suggest stopping for a drink or two before a date night nearby in Union Market.

The hostess and the waiter on a busy Saturday night were awesome! Definitely one of the best server I have had in a long time!I think his name is Luis!

Having been kept away from a good cocktail bar for over a year due to Covid, Serenata was an excellent return to the scene. The staff was super diligent on covid safety procedures, which at the time (a few months back) was super important to make me feel comfortable. But the drinks! I have since gone through the whole menu, and it has been a fantastic experience. The cocktails take you on a trip through latin america, using base spirits and ingredients from throughout the region. While not a place necessarily to get a simple whiskey sour, this is an amazing venue to explore spirits, flavors and ideas not often found in the traditional classics. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately my experience was not the best. The place was awesome and the drinks were great but the staff lacks of customer service. Not sure if it was not a good day for them. I ordered my first drink (Mojito) was served a full glass, I ordered the same drink and this time it was halfway full. Ask the bartender to please fill it up a full glass and the answer was no. The bartender was very rude and preferred to take the drink back and pour it into the sink. I like every spot at the cosecha but this one was definitely not what is expected after they charged 16 dollars for a drink.

Serenata has a really cute vibe with some interesting Latin inspired cocktails and small bites. It’s located inside a shared space with another restaurant, which is okay for a meet up with friends. Similar to the setup inside of Union Market.I had a margarita called the “Best Margarita Ever.” It was really good with a little kick to it.
