About The Doolittle
The same cocktail can be made in various ways. Enjoying cocktails – like many things – is very subjective.
The best way to make it is the way you like it.
We do things our way but are always more than happy to make your drink to your specifications.
Whether you like vodka, gin, rum, tequila, whiskey or something else, let’s talk it out and we’ll find something delicious for you.
We have fresh juice and house-made syrups. Plus, the secret ingredient in all our cocktails is always love.
Please Note: There are no cocktail servers. We’re happy to give you table service when we can but we certainly don’t want you waiting too long when you’re thirsty. We’ll see you at the bar.
DOGGO DISCLAIMER…
We all need a little emotional support every now and then. We love dogs and man’s best friends are always welcome outside on our patio. We’re happy to hook you up with a water bowl for Fido upon request to sip on a beverage with their owner.
Please Note: We do not allow dogs inside the bar. The last thing we want is our furry friends getting spilled or stepped on.
About Us
In 2013, Stephanie and Derek, a dynamic young couple, purchased a bar and transformed it into what is now The Doolittle. After extensive renovations and a lot of heart, the bar quickly became a beloved spot in the local community. With the business thriving, they made the decision to relocate to the East Coast in 2016. To keep the legacy alive, they turned to their cousin Jacob.
Jacob, who had been bartending since 2007 and was then managing Food and Beverage at the San Jose Marriott, saw an opportunity to fulfill his own dream of owning a bar. Stephanie and Derek brought him in as a partner, guiding him through the ins and outs of running a small business. When they eventually moved, Jacob sought out a partner to help him take the reins.
That’s when a conversation with his father, Joe, changed everything. Joe advised Jacob to think carefully about going into business with family but expressed his own interest in joining forces. After some reflection, Jacob realized that he and his dad shared a unique bond and made the decision to team up. In 2018, Jacob, along with his father Joe, mother Leanne, and sister Sara, bought out their cousins, keeping the bar in the family.
Since its inception, The Doolittle has remained a family-owned and operated establishment, weathering even the challenges of a global pandemic. We take pride in creating a welcoming atmosphere where our regulars become true friends, and our dedicated staff feels like an extension of the family. Whether you're here for the sports, trivia, live music, or to enjoy our rotating selection of 14 draft beers, craft cocktails featuring local spirits, and great company, we look forward to seeing you soon.
Hope to see y’all soon.
Cheers!
