The staff is amazingly knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is probably one of the nicest of any bar that I've ever stepped into with magnificent lighting that invites you to get comfy and order the perfect Old Fashioned Cocktail. Somehow, they've managed to be very high end without feeling stuffy or pretentious. Can't wait to go back!

Awesome bartenders... Knowledgeable, friendly,fast and entertaining. Best drinks in town. Lots of local spirits, top shelf varieties, and a huge drink menu with fun classic and modern cocktail variations. Fun upbeat vibe and music. Comfy couches and intimate candle lighting in the evenings. Food selections is small but everything is super yummy. =) Vault seems to always have events going on... Santa con, a gatsby party, salsa nights, a distillers dinner, etc.... Always something new and exciting happening. Definitely recommend coming here

Cool spot. Love the atmosphere, from the clock on the wall behind the bar to the art that changes at times with a focus on different artists. The drinks are amazing and the staff is amazing as well. Man, those tasty drinks are worth finding parking in this part of town on a busy night completely worth it.

The house specialty cocktails are quite tasty, and the food makes for excellent small bites. Cozy atmosphere, and friendly staff. Best of all, not crazy loud for a bar downtown, which makes it a good choice to hang with friends.

My new favorite bar downtown. An excellent menu with some really interesting new drinks! The music was not overbearing, staff was friendly, but wasn't hovering. While there were other people, it wasn't crowded even on a Saturday night. Normal drink prices too.

Hit this place up for their happy hour! We tried a large number of their happy hour offerings and all were pleasing, both drinks and food. I wouldn't say any of the drinks had mind-blowing complexity or anything, if you want that go down the block to teardrop. But they were made with fresh ingredients, well balanced, and arrived in a timely manner.

Very small intimate place to go and meet up with a few friends or a special person. When I arrived they were getting ready to have someone perform, the Buzz 105.1 was there and so they kinda rushed us to take a sit and to place orders. The happy hour menu is great a great way to try there many different flavors for Martini's. My favorite was the Mango Martini.

It was extremely loud inside, but luckily we got a table outside. It was cold, so not a lot of competition. I find that their drinks fared well with my sweet tooth quite nicely. Their had more tropical inspired drinks, which I loved. This is a great place as a destination or as a wait while you try to get in someplace else, such as Oven and Shaker.

Just went to Vault martini with a girlfriend and I loved it. It's definitely a spot for a girls-night-out. We went for happy hour and just had a few cocktails. Their happy hour prices are great, but the menu is limited. They have a huge drink menu, more like a book really, but for happy hour you get to pick from about 8 martinis. I noticed there were a few drops (lemon, cherry, pineapple) so maybe this is their specialty. I tried a cherry drop first and my friend got pineapple. Both were sour, which I like, not too sweet. They also had some great vodka in them and were served stiff, not like a Bartini martini where I'm pretty sure it's just juice. For our second cocktails we branched out to the full menu. I went with the banana bread martini and she got the Malibu. Mine was absolutely amazing, I'm a huge fan of banana bread and liquor so the two coming together was fantastic. They use a Chai liqueur which I had never heard of but dang, that's just a great idea. Hers had Malibu with Godiva chocolate liqueur and cream. It was so rich and savory and after my one sip I wanted more. One visit to this place isn't enough, I need to keep going back and work my way through their martini bible.
