| - Another one of those places you have been wanting to try because of all the good reviews and then, nothing. It was nothing like what I had expected, the ambiance, the cocktails, music, drinks.
We bellied up to the long bar and ordered their most popular drink. It was horrible. It tasted like cough syrup, Robitussin to be exact. I tried to get it down, but I couldn't, and for the price, I had to send it back. Second drink, same thing, absolutely horrendous. I ended up giving it to my friend because I was too embarrassed to send it back a second time. I understand Prohibition Era type drinks have a distinct flavor, with elixirs and what not (I love all the cocktails at Herbs & Rye), but these drinks were beyond what I could get passed my mouth.
Music, well I'm not sure how to explain it, but I offered the DJ $20 to change it, he declined. My friend and I decided to make the best of it, and joined in the shenanigans.
Ambiance wasn't there, just a long bar with some couches behind it. I'm not getting the allure of this place. I'll stick with what I know.
