Traveler reviews
Revathy Kumaran
★★★★★11 months agoChug Club is honestly one of the best bars I’ve ever been to. Their cocktails are the best I’ve had. What makes this place so cool is their concept.. instead of just big drinks, they serve “chugs” which are small shot-sized cocktails. You can try different flavors in one night without feeling overwhelmed. Their beer slushy is amazing too 🤎 Every drink I tried was so creative and perfectly balanced. The bartenders are super friendly and really take the time to explain the idea behind each cocktail, which makes it even more fun. The vibe is cozy but buzzing, and you can tell they put a lot of love into what they do.

★★★★★8 months agoChug Club might sound like a club, but it’s actually a bar with a great vibe. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, the drinks are solid, and it’s an easy place to hang out, socialize, and get the night started. A lively bar that lives up to its name. 🍹✨
