Fine Time’s liquid menu is where the real magic happens. Their featured cocktails are creative and refreshing, each offering a distinct personality that caters to every palate.

Maya Kipnis sums it up best: “Great cocktails and cool vibe… finally a decent place that is close and THAT good!” This spirit of warmth shines through in small touches like the ever-present free popcorn machine and complimentary hotdogs, courtesy of Ericson Contreras, making every visit feel like a casual yet special outing.

The layout supports both intimate chats and lively hangouts, with a cozy front area and a spacious back filled with games, including a pool table that guests adore. Aaron shares his experience: “Cozy in the front, so much room in the back area… staff really chill like that & the peeps there were too!” The diverse musical backdrop and thoughtful monitoring of the space ensure every visit feels safe and fun-as reflected in Samantha Han’s account of the attentive bartender who handled a difficult situation with grace, underscoring Fine Time’s commitment to customer comfort.

Cozy in the front, so much room in the back area. Music was varied in a good way. Always popcorn in the machine, even when it’s empty ;) I didn’t ask for dogs but I’m sure they would have given me some if I asked the staffs really chill like that & the peeps there were too the pool table is great I love it there.

Great venue! I was having drinks with a friend and when I left to go to the bathroom, a drunk man approached my friend and started aggressively hitting on her. Our male bartender (regretfully I don't know his name, but I appreciate him) had been keeping an eye out and talked him into leaving us alone. Will be coming back!
