Review: The Lift was no smoking before no smoking was cool. That is it's number one draw for me.

Great martini list. Diverse beers. Diverse clientèle.

It has a lounge in the corner--what's better ...

Review: I really like the bartenders here. Big ups to Clint. I would rate the bar as good--it would be awesome if the crowd included fewer corporate types....

Review: Honestly, if someone were to challenge me to come up with the absolute dumbest possible floorplan for a bar, I would probably wind up with something very similar to the Lift.

Don't get me wrong. I...

Review: The Lift, nice bar, clean bar, noticably better atmosphere then most bars/meatmarkets in DSM, but seriously, perhaps hire a bartender that can make a martini in under 5 minutes. Slowest staff ever. ...
