I want to like the Livermore but I just don't. I was so excited as construction began and must say that the bar is absolutely gorgeous. There are giant windows with decent people watching. Beautiful glassware, beautiful food, beautiful decor. But. and here is the but, I find it so uncomfortable! The layout is weird and seating is limited. The giant windows make it feel a bit as if you're in a fish bowl. And the noise- it gets incredibly loud. Also it gets steamy inside- literally the windows will be covered.\n\nI been twice and ordered classic cocktails- manhattan, old fashioned, whiskey sour. I've never been blown away. The drinks I've had were fine but not outstanding. At 10-12$ a pop that was disappointing. \n\nLoved the spicy nuts and potato chips. The potato chips were on the house though because they only had a half order left.
