House Specialties
If this is your first time at the Bar Helix, you simply must be aware of the house specialties and their composition. The bar has created approximately 20 signature seasonal Negroni drinks with a twist. If you are a party of four, I would recommend you to make a reservation. By so doing, you are free to choose from up to seven or eight different variations of the classic Negroni that are served in exquisite crystal decanters.
When you check out Anderson’s Twitter page, she describes herself as a wine connoisseur. The list of wines she features at the Bar Helix reflects this passion for stocking up on and serving alternatives and effervescent drinks of all kinds.
Anderson hired John Hadala to man the kitchen and help her actualize her vision for the food. Since they began working together, Kendra said she appreciates the contribution of “a very strong point of view” to the team, which is apparent in the menu.
The Bar and Snacks
Food ranges in price from $10 to $15, while drinks frequently start at $10 and go up from there. Visit Bar Helix between 4 and 6 p.m. to take advantage of their happy hour if you prefer a good deal as much as I do. Here, you can get meals and drinks for as cheap as $7.
Bar Helix offers some nightlife as well. The business hours are from 4 p.m. to midnight, Tuesday through Saturday. Only during specific seasonal special events on Mondays and Sundays is the Bar open. On occasion, Anderson organizes adult-themed pop-up Sunday brunches.
The Atmosphere
The ambiance at Bar Helix is infectious to say the least. It is the kind of spot which will make you feel inebriated way before your second glass of wine. A lot of work and thought has been put into the interior design of the bar giving patrons the sense of being dipped into a pool of Negroni.
Part of the inspiration behind the captivating décor was drawn from photos of the Playboy Club back in the day when they used to lounge on yachts. Anderson intimates that her aim in this specific design was to give every patron a sense of awe and appreciation for oneself and others.
Spotted
If you have a new friend or coworker in town and you would like to show them a good time and introduce them to some decent people, Bar Helix is the perfect spot. Whether you are just grabbing a drink after work or going on a first date, keep to a smart-casual business dress code to look the part.
While the general crowd here is usually quite diversified most days, you will regularly spot couples getting lost in each other’s eyes and mana a little black dresses especially on Wednesday night. It is a kind gathering where the host introduces guests to one another to boost conversation and connection among the crowds. It is definitely the place to hang out with your crew especially for those single and searching.
Hospitality
To work in such a place which boasts of such uniqueness, you as a staff need to know what your roles and goals are. Staff members at Bar Helix take pride in their extablishment and show their dedicated commitment in their immaculate dressing, responsiveness and professional delivery of quality service. If online reviews are anything to go by, the Customer service at Bar Helix is at least four stars which is highly commendable.
