Absolutely love Black Hoof's Cocktail Bar - unique, inspired drinks - expect the classics with a twist :) The drinks were delicious... and strong! I'm currently writing this with a nice hangover #winddownmondays lol.
Cozy place with a small patio to the side. This is located right across from Black Hoof, just in case you have a hard time looking for it since there is no signage! Bartender was attentive... and I loved when he skipped across the room - such a happy place ^_^
Absinthe Whip - was highly recommended on Yelp. I went for it and loved it. I love the absinthe, orange, pistachio and coconut combo. It reminds me of summer time with sunshine and beaches ^^ Very creamy and light... would definitely order again!
Rugosa - the most Asian inspired cocktail I've ever had - I can really taste like chrysanthemum, pear, sake and rose all together! It is super, super light but 'still feels like a proper drink' ;)
Hoof Manhattan - one of the smoothest Manhattans ever... it was very easy to drink. I love the two cherries which gave a bit of accent to the drink! The caption on the menu was something like 'will ruin your Manhattan anywhere else'... partial true for me lol - smoked infused Manhattans are still my fave!
Hot Buttered Rum - served hot in a mug.. soooo creamy good - made with rum, butter, ice cream, spices and everything nice *drools* It seemed like a nice bedtime drink... I went straight to bed right after this one XD
Ooo one more thing. Order the smoked olives. Order it. They are not salty at all... the smokiness just lingers in your mouth... so friggin' good.
Come to Cocktail Bar if you haven't already... I think this bar will ruin you for all the drinks you've ever had lol. They are THAT good.
Cash and Canadian debit only. No reservations.
Patio closes around 10:30pm... but you can continue inside the bar til 2am :D
