    First time at Born to Shake was excellent. The ambiance was lovely, the food was great, the cocktails were delicious and the service was top notch. I will say the drinks were a bit pricey but this seems to be more the norm these days. I will definitely be back for another evening of cocktails and small bites.

Regarding the pricing of our cocktails, lots of love and work goes into them, from the citrus and fruit juices we squeeze in-house to the high-quality spirits and liqueurs we use in our well - we hope this brings you value for your dollar knowing you're enjoying a very high quality, hand-crafted cocktail! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    A hidden gem. The drinks and food are great. It seems there is a different drink menu each night. The tapas is exquisite. Staff are attentive. Music was a little loud if you are there with friends and hoping for a chinwag.

    Mandy, thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. We're so glad you enjoyed the tapas and cocktails, and you're correct - we do have a different cocktail menu on Thursdays alongside our live music for Tropical Thursdays! We look forward to your next visit!

    This place is the BEST. The people are incredible, the drinks are outstanding, and the experience is absolutely phenomenal. Can’t recommend it enough; there’s nothing else like it in the whole Valley. Oh, and Tiki glasses…

    It is such a unique and special place. The food and drinks were amazing. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive. I would definitely recommend “Shake it Up” to friends and family.

    Loved it and will be back. Super tiny place with tables outside too. Sat at bar and got to watch the artists create the drinks, was great! Tapas very good with vegetarian and gluten free options.

    Always a great experience! We've been there for Tropical Thursday before and now for Sunday Funday. Thursday was definitely a little busier and louder, while today was quieter and calmer. Good vibes both times! Love the staff, the drinks, and the food is pretty great too. Thanks for an easy Sunday brunch option :)

    If you’re looking for a great cocktail this is your place. So much thought and love goes into each cocktail. We sat at the bar and had some great conversations with Min and Sameir. Top notch service. We will be back!
