| - I visited the County General during the Ice Storm and found myself not wanting to leave. Before I get to the food, I just want to say this is one of the most cozy and comfortable bars I have been to. My friend and I opted to sit at the bar (great choice, got to interact with the incredible bartender and experiment with various great cocktails). The music was an incredible mix of rock from the 80's and 90's and made me feel quite nostalgic I must say.
Food:
When we visited, it was during their weekend brunch. I opted for the Burger with a fried egg on top and the fries. I must say, the burger was cooked perfectly and was incredibly tasty. The fries, with a homemade ketchup, were very fresh and crispy.
My friend opted for the more traditional Eggs Benedict and he was blown away.
Overall, our first meal there was fantastic and I am very much looking forward to trying more menu items.
Cocktails:
The cocktails are just incredible. After eating, we just sat and enjoyed the music and multiple cocktails. There are many bourbon-based cocktails as well as a few other spirits. There is definitely something on the list that will appeal to most everybody. As well, the bartender was incredibly engaging and created a couple of non-menu cocktails based on our tastes.
Although I have only visited once to date, I must give The County General 5 stars as the food was great, the cocktail was great and I was truly sad to leave to head back home.
