| - What a fun place to come to for a late night, ok it was 9:30, drink. Again making our way down Penn Ave because of First Fridays and Mixtape was a place we did not want to miss. The idea is cool. A bar that does coffee and board games. Sounds fun, right? They also do not allow tipping for their staff, but if you do tip it goes to a charity that they have listed on the bar. Pretty amazing right?
When we were there it was packed, but by the time we ordered our drinks we were able to find a seat on the beanbags that faced the makeshift stage. It was a perfect place to enjoy a cocktail and to listen to some music. I would like to come back to try their coffee! But the drink that I had was pretty delicious, so I was not disappointed.
ALSO, if you download the SRVD app you get a free Dos Equis on a daily basis. You can also order you drink from the app so you do not have to wait in line. I downloaded the app, and if you use my code ADELM752 you will get a $5 credit!! I referred my friend to the app in the bar and we both got a $5 credit! I had never even hear about that. Super interesting and neat!!
The art on the wall was also really beautiful. There were a few pieces that I would love to have hanging in my house. I was impressed by the art in the place because it was neat and unusual but also mixed so well with the decor.
The staff was also super nice. We were asking questions and being indecisive and our bartender was so nice. I don't care if he was growling in his head, he was just a really nice guy to work with and answered everything we needed to know. He made our decision on drinks easier.
Ok so then the drink.
Blind Melon: Faber craft gin, lillet, soda water, and fresh basil over house made basil-melon ice cubes. Yum! I will say that this drink was a bit heavy. As in, the basil was powerful and heavy in the tummy. Very fresh, very good, but it left me full.
Yes, I only had one. I mean it was 9:30! Yeah, I am a bit of a grandma, and not a cool one, a grumpy want to be in bed early one. But it was great. I was able to sit down, drink my well made cocktail and listen to some live music. It was a perfect end to my Friday and a great way to start my weekend.
I urge everyone to try them out!
