Cool little bar / restaurant in Little Italy. One of my favorite happy hours around.

Service at the bar is always good. Bartenders are quick, attentive and make good cocktails.

The food is decent, the bone marrow and Mac n cheese and “biscuits@ are good.   Some of the other dishes are hit or miss.

Overall it’s a good time and worth stopping in to check out.  Pay attention to the decor ;)

The Christmas decor is fabulous! In the spirit of Christmas, we wanted to check out bars with decked out dining rooms and serve festive drinks and Craft & Commerce did not disappoint.

They have happy hour from 3-5pm and the selection for happy hour drinks and snacks was decent. I had the Ex-Pat and my friend had the Caballo Blanco -- had both Mezcal and Tequila. My friend thought the Caballo Blanco was too strong but I really liked it!

Later we got the holiday cocktails (only available after 5) and they were all very tasty and of course came in cute little mugs.
For food, we got biscuits to share and C&C burger and fries. The biscuits were good. It is under appetizer, but with the honey, I can definitely eat this for desserts.

Service was kinda slow, perhaps because it was a busy Friday night. It was pretty chaotic at the beginning because they couldn't seem to find our reservation, but it worked out in the end. And we were debating about ordering another round of drinks or get the check but our server disappeared for so long that we decided to just close out instead (which also took a long time to come back).

Super fun ambiance with good mood lighting.
Lots of cool fire and lanterns, etc.
Good music.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and a lot of stuff to look at for entertainment. Plenty of tables and two bar areas. Unfortunately, the one knock on the atmosphere was dead animals on the walls as that is a little out of fashion these days. Our party, some with food restrictions, felt the food menu choices were a little limiting. The menu items were definitely unique and a nice change. Good for sharing. The biggest hit for us was the fast-iron cornbread. The fresh white bean is good sized. Overall, it was a mix of some dishes being good and others being so so. Again, the cornbread was really good. The bar also brought the score down for us. While we ordered some classic drink we did not even get a choice of alcohol. They just poured well gin , vodka, and whiskey. It was odd.  The presentation was nice though. Lastly, the service started out great when we first got there and went downhill right after they served us drinks. After the food came we could not get anyone’s attention to even get another round of drinks.
This restaurant has atmosphere, uniqueness, and location. The overall food, drinks and service lowered the score and experience to make this a restaurant we may browse into for a quick drink and appetizer  if we happen to be in the exact vicinity before an event. Not a place to frequently stop and enjoy.
