I’ve been passing by The Lackman for so long now and finally gave it a shot. They did NOT disappoint! I was interested in their seasonal drinks and after asking the bartender some questions I started with an espresso martini. It was smooth and what...Read More

Cool OTR neighborhood bar on the corner of Vine and 13th. They make great cocktails and also have a lot of beer on tap. They regularly come up with tasty, interesting cocktails, like the fun one I had with pop rocks candy as the garnish around...Read More

The Lackman is hands down one of my favorite bars in the city, and a huge part of that is thanks to Cindy. She’s the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, always remembers your drink, and somehow keeps everything running smoothly even...Read More

I brought my girlfriend to OTR for an impromptu trip, and we ended up bar hopping on a Monday, asking for advice about where to go when so many things are closed. Taylor was not only the best bartender of our evening (and...Read More

Popped in because we had a 45 minute wait for a nearby restaurant and Garrett welcomed us in, made us some amazing cocktails, then advised us that sometimes restaurants over estimate the time they need. We paid the tab in advance to save time...Read More

Old school bar right on the corner of Vine St. Classic feel on the interior. Great selection of whiskeys and the bar patrons are super chill. Would recommend for grabbing a quick cocktail or beer when in OTR.

Our favourite 2AM fallback in OTR. When Sundry and Vice closes, this is your next best option. Staff are great, always a chat and plenty of patience with us sodden night travellers. Atmosphere is always eclectic and mixed. Love the place.

Great beer and craft cocktail selection. This is a great place to just swing in for a drink, before dinner, after a show, etc., as long as it's not prime time on a Friday or Saturday night. If you don't mind a packed...Read More

Love the Lackman. This place is a legendary spot with low key, classic bar vibes and high end drinks and staff. Never had a bad experience here. Great for drinks before or after dinner, catching up with friends or coworkers, and relaxing with others.
