| - I had another completely unique drink and enjoyable experience at Oak & Ivy on a Friday night. I went there for a pre-dinner drink, but what I received leapfrogged dinner and went straight to dessert. I had the Apple Pie Harvest ($12) made with apple-scented Clyde Mays bourbon, apple bitters, a touch of butter, St. Elizabeth's Allspice Dram, and caramelized brown sugar over an apple slice as garnish. It came with a pipette of Becherovka, an herbal digestif, to personally customize the drink if an added cinnamon note was desired. It was delicious apple pie in a glass.
Oak & Ivy coupled with Downtown Cocktail and now Mike Morey's Sip'n'Tip have become the Golden Triangle for cocktails in the city in terms of skillful execution, use of quality ingredients, creativity/originality, engaging barstaff, and value. For out of towners like me, Oak & Ivy is totally worth the effort to tear yourself away from the Strip if you're looking for a well-made drink.
