As first time guests we were excited to find a great new spot to hang. Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed. I guess we are still searching for the next regular spot. Don't get me wrong, there are some cool and redeeming qualities for the new casual bourbon/BBQ bar. It's just that the concept and location has amazing potential in Southpark but right now the place isn't what it could be.
It's a very cool idea of treehouse with a tree in the middle of the warm small space located in a very convenient Southpark location right behind Baku across from crate & Barrel at the mall. The concept is warm and inviting and with the large quality bourbon selection makes it a winner without ever playing.
The bourbon selection is excellent going from Woodford double Oaked to Pappy. Get the double Blanton's if you haven't tried it yet. Drinks are good, nice selection of craft beer and other cocktails and the bar staff was nice. Big plus. Bar is small but intimate and while the end of the bar is locked in to a corner it was welcoming.
The menu is pretty limited and basic bar type item fare without a real signature dish. After trying jalapeƱo poppers (Woopsy, they were out) I tasted the highly recommended brisket sliders with cole slaw. Bummer, it was pretty dry. The fries were ok, wings were good but still not memorable. A friend said the onion rings were average but I did hear the chicken chopped sandwich with bacon, cheese and other stuff was really good so I'll test it the next visit.
I'm hoping the kitchen better because this place has big potential! Maybe they can start with a website.
