On a nondescript street just outside Andover center, resides a hidden bastion of mixological creations on par with a contemporary art gallery. In fact, I would not be surprised if the (witch)crafted cocktails can and most likely are labeled as art by certain aficionados of the genre of really-cool-drinks.
I say 15SX is hidden because if you're not looking for it, you'll miss it, as it is lazily marked by a small sign above the door (if there are others, I did not see them haha). An offshoot of next-door Andolini's, (owned by and offering a limited menu from said restaurant), this imbibery stands all on its own by offering a ecstatically creative menu of unique libations utilizing the 5 food, er, liquor groups: Rum, Vodka, Gin, Tequila and Mezcal (oh yes!).
The best drink I had was the Extraordinary Gentleman, as shown being created in the videos along with this review. Smokey, cinnamony bliss.
Come for the drinks, and bask in the warm, dimly lit decor while also experiencing a musical soundtrack as diverse as the multiple ingredients populating the headline attractions. But heed well, for here be (alcoholic) wizards!

Best drinks in the area.
Love this please. It's perfect for spending a great weekend evening. They have the best drink selections I have seen in the area. And they make really good drinks as well. Service is always awesome. They have nice snack size food options to order with drinks in the early evening.
Parking is always easy on the street. Can always get a table, plenty of seating.
Definitely the best bar in Andover.

15sx is a cozy little hole in the wall just off the main downtown of Andover. The drinks were excellent with plenty to choose between classics and fun drinks with a twist. Also highly recommend the truffle fries, so good we ordered them twice. Our waitress wasn’t the warmest, but given the quality of everything else, still easily a five star place for drinks.

Drinks were great, bar tender was friendly and attentive. Food is available from Andolinis next door if you're hungry. Great spot.

Not bad. Ribeye special came sliced like a deli salad. Misleading. Over priced. Hot bar tenders. Not a classy place but interesting. Money spent there would be better spent elsewhere, but good enough place for once or twice a year. Good drinks.

Absinthe, botanicals and fruit? oh my!
This is the one trendy bar in Andover and it dominates with its quirky drink menu and accomodating bartenders who can gladly adjust drinks and are clearly well trained.
I haven't had a cocktail so well prepared in years. This is the hole in the wall I've dreamed of where creativity and energy seem to go hand in hand.

Best cocktails in the north shore. Comparable to a place in Boston or NYC, in all aspects ambiance and service included. 15sx is kinder to your wallet, without comprising anything.
