| - This is a review about the bar. I loved it!
I was visiting a friend in Madison when we discovered this gem. We were looking for a cocktail bar, and at first we weren't sure this was open because it was empty, but the bartender waved us in.
Usually I'm not a fan of unconventional cocktails and at first I eyed the menu suspiciously when I noticed it was mostly rum and vodka based. I don't trust a place without gin. But a lot of the drinks have fresh fruit muddled into them (strawberries, watermelon) and that is actually delightful! Plus, the bartender did make me gimlet (with gin, not vodka), so all was well in the world.
Plus the bartender, I'm pretty sure his name was Cleyton, was super nice. He was quiet at first but eventually told us some stories and taught us to appropriately use a Boston shaker (which you might think is obvious, but we did mess it up earlier that evening). And he kept the bar open for quite some time, which I loved, seeing as in Boston everything closes at 2:00 at the lamest. Damn Puritans!
Anyway, I had a great time and I would highly recommend it to people looking for some yummy cocktails.
