First time at Born to Shake was excellent. The ambiance was lovely, the food was great, the cocktails were delicious and the service was top notch. I will say the drinks were a bit pricey but this seems to be more the norm these days. I will definitely be back for another evening of cocktails and small bites.

Erika, thank you so much for the kind words and the five stars. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, and we're so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us. Regarding the pricing of our cocktails, lots of love and work goes into them, from the citrus and fruit juices we squeeze in-house to the high-quality spirits and liqueurs we use in our well - we hope this brings you value for your dollar knowing you're enjoying a very high quality, hand-crafted cocktail! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

A hidden gem. The drinks and food are great. It seems there is a different drink menu each night. The tapas is exquisite. Staff are attentive. Music was a little loud if you are there with friends and hoping for a chinwag.

Mandy, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We're so glad you enjoyed the tapas and cocktails, and you're correct - we do have a different cocktail menu on Thursdays alongside our live music for Tropical Thursdays! We look forward to your next visit!

This place is the BEST. The people are incredible, the drinks are outstanding, and the experience is absolutely phenomenal. Can’t recommend it enough; there’s nothing else like it in the whole Valley. Oh, and Tiki glasses…

Sydney, thank you so much for the five stars and the amazing words! We're so glad you enjoyed your experience with us - and fun fact, you can buy our glasses to take home and make your very own tiki drinks! Hope to see you again soon!

Always a great experience! We've been there for Tropical Thursday before and now for Sunday Funday. Thursday was definitely a little busier and louder, while today was quieter and calmer. Good vibes both times! Love the staff, the drinks, and the food is pretty great too. Thanks for an easy Sunday brunch option :)

Thank you so much for the five star review! We're so glad you got to enjoy both Thursdays and Sundays. We hope to see you again soon!
