This place does the world's most awesome cocktails. Friendly bar staff and great atmosphere too. It's not for you if you like sugary, neon coloured fruity drinks, but if you like a real cocktail with a serious measure or 3 of alcohol and flavours that blow your mind and your taste buds then this is the place for you.

This is a small place that is large on atmosphere!!! The bartender was friendly and made great recommendations. I chose the the toasted almond martini and it was a work of art as well as being delicious!! My husband also enjoyed the beer selection. We will be sure to return when we visit Charlesaton again!!

Great bar. Totally amazing drinks. Sadly closed due to a major fire. The bar promises to be back and I'll post again as soon as we see the new grand opening.

You do indeed squeeze into the bar! Fun place, fun drinks, chill vibe. What more could you ask for from a bar?

Tiny. tiny bar with larger than life Martini recipes. I love the strawberry with basil Martini and the one made with cucumber. Its a beautiful, quaint little bar "squeezed" into a historic brick space. The bar tender is always friendly and the drinks are creative with fresh ingredients. Sometimes they have a musician playing as well.

This bar has a unique drink menu, and our bartender actually used a pestle to grind the ingredients for our drink. It was freshly made, and tasted good. The service was good and the bar was very clean. I would go there again.

As my husband said, as we sat down at the bar in Squeeze, "thank goodness cocktails are making a comeback!". If you are into cocktails, this is the temple. Squeeze is a long, very narrow, beautiful bar. If there is an esoteric bourbon or rye whiskey, Squeeze has it, as well as an amazing number of vodkas, gins and specialty... More

Happened by just before 5pm and noticed that people were waiting on the sidewalk for Squeeze to open. I now know why! Bartenders are fantastic, great live music, drinks were creative. A fun place for grownups!

First I'd have to say the ambiance was very nice, live music and comfortable bar stools, the place was filled with out of towners. The bartender was very accommodating and the drinks were very good! The reason for not giving it a 5... well compared to some of the other bars- where the drinks are like nothing you have ever... More
