Gilly's House of Cocktails

Gilly’s feels like the kind of bar every neighborhood wishes it had: relaxed, fun, great drinks, and full of personality. The atmosphere has that classic local vibe where everyone seems happy to be there, and it’s the perfect spot to stop in for a drink and stay longer than planned. The cocktails were excellent. The Pandan Express was creative and smooth, with that richer, slightly tropical flavor that stands out without being too sweet. Anything with sesame and hojicha has been hooked. Their espresso martini was just as impressive. It was bold, balanced, and exactly the kind you want to sip slowly. Between the drinks and the welcoming energy, it’s easy to see why people love this place. One of the best surprises is how much there is to do. They have a free Pac-Man table, a pool table, and an unbeatable Tuesday steak night that gives the bar an extra sense of community. It feels like a hangout spot and a cocktail bar at the same time, which is rare in the best way. Great cocktails, fun extras, and a cozy neighborhood feel make Gilly’s House of Cocktails a standout. It’s the kind of bar you come back to again and again because it just feels good to be there.

What are great place. Cocktails are so good. They have a list of unique and classics. The music is good. The bartender was awesome. Pool tables were going. Clean and professional bar love this place.

I was here on Valentine’s Day at 8pm with my husband and our two friends. We were chilling peacefully drinking on the patio and my husband was smoking a vape. The bartender (who i saw taking shots at Lafayette gutter bar before coming here? Weird….drinking shots before work???) threw an ice cube at my husband and It hit me directly in the face. She screamed at my husband that vaping isn’t allowed to which he answered “couldn’t you just have told me instead of throwing ice at my wife’s face?” And she apologized, in an extremely passive aggressive way. Your employees shouldn’t be showing up to work drunk off shots from a nearby bar and throwing ice cubes at a paying customer. Ridiculous. Especially on Valentine’s Day

It was because of Ig that my friends and i went to check out this holiday pop up at the back of Gillys. Just letting you know, this is definitely worth a visit because even though it’s divey vibes, it feels homey. Probably because the front of the house is snap and divey. But once you reach the patio, it’s like a Christmas wonderland.

Tuesday is steak night! Treat the bartenders with respect and they will do the same! Great place for a first date!
