Saksey’s may be inspired by a throwback tavern spirit, but there’s nothing dated about the experience. This polished, intimate lounge lands as a modern hideaway built for people who appreciate a well-executed cocktail, smart design, and a little personality in their night out.
Ambiance is the star. The room is a moody 5-star jewel box—dark cherry wood, deep green velvet, lacquered paneling, warm brass, and perfectly dim lighting that flatters everyone and everything. It’s ideal for date nights, a pre-game with flair, or a solo reset at the bar. Seating is intentionally tight and intimate, so save the large-party energy for another venue.
The drinks deliver the same thoughtful balance of technique and play. Under the direction of Darryl Chan and Head Bartender Tara Wong, the menu bends classic recipes with a touch of mischief. Standouts include the bright and elegant Modelito Sidecar and the Aged Everything Dr. Pepper Cherry, both layered and inventive. And yes—PBR Beer Bottle Service exists, executed with just the right blend of cheek and craft. Cocktails run $19–$25, but the Tiny ’Tinis flight—a trio of mini martinis for $28—offers one of the best values and an easy way to explore the menu.
Food lands at a solid 4 stars with polished comfort classics. The burger is the clear winner—juicy, unfussy, and deeply satisfying. The lobster minis with a caviar bump add a luxe bit of fun, and the cornflake chicken bites bring nostalgic crunch elevated with grown-up flavor. A few items feel more playful than memorable, but nothing dips below enjoyable.
Where Saksey’s shines most is cohesion. The vibe, the cocktails, the food—everything feels intentional without trying too hard. It’s warm, stylish, and a little cheeky, a lounge that knows exactly what it wants to be: a place where craftsmanship and comfort meet effortlessly.
