Great menu, bartenders are nice and top-notch, and the playlist is always good. Everything here has a classic vibe without trying too hard. Overall great spot to grab a drink. Foods pretty good too!

Date Night Is...

Good cocktails , a giant outdoor seating area , and tasty snacks put this one squarely on the Date Night list. And they have some of the friendliest bartenders to boot.

BordeauxWines

This elegant den boasts some of the best drinks in the city , in an atmosphere reminiscent of Prohibition-era nooks. Let out your inner rebel with a glass of Bordeaux to make this experience perfect.

Their cocktail menu is great- excellent classics and new twists. The food is tasty and the service is great. Very attractive as well .

Averna USA

Known for innovative cocktails with classic ingredients, The Richardson's "Higgins' Sarsaparillas" made with Averna, Ginger Beer , & Red Wine is simply delicious. Pair with the house made deviled eggs !
