Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Study at Dean's offers a chic, literary-inspired atmosphere with "amazing cocktails & vibe." Bartenders like Winchester and Nathanial provide "great service," making each visit memorable. While the ambiance is praised, some note indoor smoking detracts. With upscale charm, it's a "hidden gem" in SA, perfect for cocktail enthusiasts.

    So excellent! Stopped with the wife for a pre dinner drink. Low key, great atmosphere. Each cocktail [inspired by literature] was made with such skill and precision. We cannot say enough good things about the bartenders. They were killing it. Please stop for a drink, you will NOT regret it.

    The study is an interesting room tucked into the back of a hotel restaurant area. It is quiet, and a great place to enjoy a late night cocktail. The bar menu could use a couple of other items besides little hors d’oeuvre size portions but overall it was what we needed last night a place to sit and talk.
