A Cedar Rapids Coffee Shop Will Transform Into a Martini Bar at Night

Whether you enjoy coffee or martinis (or both!), there's a Downtown Cedar Rapids business that you might want to check out! Craft’d After Dark has announced their grand opening at 333 1st St SE in Cedar Rapids.

If you look up 333 1st St SE, you'll see that there's actually a coffee shop called Craft'd that's already located there. But, don't worry, the coffee shop isn't closing. According to a December Facebook post from Craft’d After Dark:

"We will be sharing the space of the amazing coffee shop, Craft'd, but we are a completely separate business."

Craft’d After Dark will open just in time for Valentine's Day on Thursday, February 13th. Customers are invited to come experience the business' "exquisite martinis, craft cocktails & tapas in a unique, casual setting," as well as Valentine's Day specials. The "stylish martini lounge" will be open Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays & Saturdays from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Speaking of martini bars, a new one called BarTini's is also set to open soon in Cedar Rapids! BarTini’s is located near Pickle Palace at 151 1st Ave SW, and will feature over 100 different martinis, plus "fine wines, cocktails, and an ample selection of whiskeys and bourbons." It will also serve an Eastern Mediterranean collection of small plates, also known as "mezze." BarTini's hopes to open its doors in the near future. You can follow the official Facebook page HERE.
