| - What can I say- I absolutely love Frankie and the BarChef team, they've done a few events for me (yes, they will be a part of cool events).
When you walk past the storefront, the place looks closed- if it's on operating hours, I can assure you, it isn't. The bar drowns out the outside light with blackout drapes to give the inside a dark, alluring, smokey vibe. Open the door and you'll see plenty of happy people inside.
We spent far too much money in this place trying as many cocktails as we could- from Mad Man, which they give an antique leather-infused scent to so it legit smells like an arm chair, to the daiquiri adaptation (coconut drink comes in sand- don't try eating the sand) with some awesome edible snow consisting of toasted coconut and maraschino gel. These drinks were on the higher end of the price point scale, so we also tried the Rocket (mimics the red, white and blue popsicles you ate as a kid) and the backwoods boulevardier.
The cocktails are a bit expensive, but it's really because of the time and energy (and infusions) in creating them. Think about it as going and buying a plate of food prepared by a chef- the more expensive drinks come to you served just as such, beautifully presented and meant to play with all your senses. Here, they truly are Chefs... of liquor!
