To be honest, I am not a cocktail person. I drink them too fast, or they are too sweet, or too boozy. But something about the concept at Barchef really appealed to me, so I wanted to check out it. Plus I figured I could just drink wine if things really went awry.
But: I didn't need to! As the name implies, they really know what they are doing when it comes to booze. I tried the Chamomile Julep and the Four Two Seven and they were both really balanced and enjoyable. The ingredients are fresh and from what I understand mostly made in-house.
I was there on a Thursday night and while there were lots of people there, we were able to grab seats and enjoy our drinks. I also liked the dark, old-timey-ish setup on the bar with jugs and ladles and brown bottles of liquid concoctions.
