I'm just so grateful that Pinch exists. The food is always on point. They have excellent cocktails. The vibe is cozy and intimate. And it's less than 10 minutes from my house. The fact that they have a "Last Word" on the cocktail menu sets them apart from so many other places that just don't carry Green Chartreuse. The brussels sprouts were delicious. The spinach dip was delicious. The porkbelly was delicious and I don't even love porkbelly. The banana bread pudding was also delicious. I wasn't hungry anymore but wanted to eat literally everything on the menu.

Hi Rachel, thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you love Pinch Kitchen + Bar and appreciate our cozy vibe, delicious food, and excellent cocktails.

We can't wait to welcome you back for more culinary delights! See you soon!
