| - I don't usually get drunk. I mean, I get tipsy from two glasses of wine, so it's the very rare occasion when I'll have more than one cocktail. The drinks are so incredible at Butcher and the Rye that I may have had three... Maybe.
This place is super cool. Moody, hip and cool, actually. Immediately upon entering you know it's the place to be. In addition to being moody, hip and cool they happen to make some of the best cocktails in the city so they have the klout to back up their moodiness.
I highly suggest heading up the staircase to the upstairs bar. The dudes behind the bar are master mixers -- they really know what they're doing. I loved seeing them gracefully shift from one drink to the next, chatting away with their customers and always maintaining a polite, kind demeanor without ever missing a joke or a request. They're so talented, I went off menu and put my drink completely in the hands of Jay, who hit it out of the park every single time with his well-balanced and creative cocktails. Hency Hily having three, and Hily getting drunk.
If you're a cocktail person in the mood for something fun, slightly old-school and a little bit different, check out Butcher and the Rye. It's a bar (and the cause of a killer hangover) I'll not soon forget!
