Cooperstown Beverage Exchange

We first stopped here in March 2017 while doing admitted students tours with our elder son. Back then, the drinks were 8 bucks, so cheap, and quality! Fast forward to 2023, the prices have gone up, but not overtly so, it's 10-12 bucks now, and you are getting a craft beverage with a top-shelf liquor, expertly made by friendly staff. For food, they have charcuterie board, pretzel and sliders, all priced fairly. I love the cozy seating area in the back. The place was packed to the tilt last Sat after Savannah Bananas game, but the crowd dispersed towards the evening, and we had a great time.

Great staff. Very knowledgeable. Extremely helpful and friendly. Awesome place in a neat little town. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

First of all, Nikki was just terrific at introducing us to their gin and Bourbons. Now, I am not a cocktail guy, and I have limited experience, but I can say without doubt that the quality of libations is undeniable. I have friends who call me a supertaster, so when I can taste a variety of flavors rolling from my lips, tongue, to my throat each of which is used for different aspects of tasting I know whether or not what's in my mouth is special. Grateful for the experience of tasting, and yes, I bought stuff. :

Such a sweet woman was working when I walked in. I ended up buying some Bourbon but was able to test a few other items. I really enjoyed the atmosphere but since I was going elsewhere for dinner I didn't want to just buy a cocktail to sit there and drink. They do have some open bottles for sampling (they pour) so you can taste before you buy.

What an unexpected gem! This place doubles as a shop and bar with fancy cocktails. It's the perfect place to start your night with a drink or cap it off! We went here before dinner and it was easy to get a sat at the bar at that time. We also went here also after going to the Cooperstown Distillery earlier in the day so we were well versed on the spirits. I got a Fenimore flyer which was delicious and very boozy. I was definitely ready to party afterwards. My husband got the Manhattan and it was also delicious. The bartenders were also so nice and were chatting with us the whole time telling us about the town and hall of fame induction weekend. You can't go wrong if you stop into this place especially if your from out of town and want a more upscale cocktail experience.
