We absolutely love this bar! The staff is incredibly friendly and personable. I can hardly wait for Honey Daniels to restart her drag show—it was such a delightful surprise to learn that they've reopened with safe outdoor seating. If you're looking for an amazing drink, this is definitely the place to be!

I always have a great time at Drexl! The bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, crafting amazing cocktails. The overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming, thanks to the friendly clientele. I’m a big fan of the skee ball upstairs, especially since you can pay for it with a credit card. I can’t remember if they still offer bar snacks, but I really hope they do!
