Since its transformation into Taylor’s on Toft, this bar has established itself as one of Antioch’s most polished and welcoming drinking destinations. The owner—often found behind the bar—sets the tone with a warm, personable presence that immediately makes guests feel at ease. Her cocktail craftsmanship is equally impressive: the Manhattan is exemplary, balanced and precise, while the martinis are consistently excellent, executed with confidence and restraint. The ambiance strikes an ideal note—refined yet relaxed—making it a natural choice for a pre-dinner aperitif or a lingering post-meal nightcap. During a recent visit, a live singing group added a festive touch, infusing the space with genuine Christmas cheer without overwhelming the intimate atmosphere. While we have not yet sampled the food, dishes arriving at neighboring tables are beautifully presented and look enticing, suggesting the bar program is thoughtfully complemented by the kitchen. Taylor’s on Toft is a standout in Antioch: a place defined by gracious hospitality, expertly made cocktails, and an atmosphere that invites return visits. Highly recommended.

So first time here and had a wonderful time. Our bartender Christina was fantastic. She is hands down one of the best bartenders I've ever had serve. My wife and I enjoyed our martinis and mixers which she poured free hand. We also met the owner, Mary during a random conversation. We got here after the kitchen closed but will return. By the way, we came here at the recommendation of our neighbor...20 to 25 minute drive. Again, we'll be back.

Extremely friendly staff, and amazing drinks. They have daily specials and very fair prices. Would recommend to anyone to come down for a relaxing drink!
