As a lifelong student of all things edible/drinkable, cocktailing seemed like a great new hobby, not without its pitfalls. Future meetings notwithstanding, this set is gorgeous, easy to use (except my new lil Boston and I’m getting there), and a real workhorse. Sure, it will be the talk of your next cul de sac get together, but using these beautiful tools to make one perfect Sidecar for yourself is like a holy act of self care. Do I still have a use for my training wheels shaker? Yes. Do I foresee giving it to someone who hasn’t yet caught the Perfect Home Bar Setup bug? I do, I do. Can’t wait for those bitters bottles to come back in stock, I want a slew of them on my bar AND my vanity, so I feel like Marie Antoinette. so glad I found A Bar Above, literally the only positive thing I can say in 2026 about Facebook.
This review absolutely made our day. We love that your Boston shaker relationship is still a work in progress and fully support the pursuit of one perfect Sidecar as an act of self care.
Thank you so much for letting A Bar Above be part of your new cocktail hobby (and future cul-de-sac fame). And honestly, using bitters bottles on both your bar AND your vanity for full Marie Antoinette energy? Iconic.
We’re so glad you found us even if Facebook gets only partial credit. Cheers to many more perfectly made cocktails! 🍸
Adding the channel knife to my bar toolbox totally elevated my gin and tonic game! No more tiny-tiny pieces of citrus in my drinks - no way! The channel knife makes it easy to get a good long piece of citrus (I'm sure it works for other things too) to make your drinks look amazing and taste delicious. I'm tossing the other janky tools I had before this - Bar Above is the best!
Hi Lisa, we're thrilled to hear you love the channel knife! It's great to know it elevates your drinks and makes prep easier. Thanks for choosing A Bar Above!
