| - I was excited to try this place, and it has so much potential. I found it on a yelp search, I was looking for bars that serve Fever Tree Tonic. I don't frequent the Palms, so I figured a cocktail before depeche mode would be the perfect time.
This place is tucked in a corner near N9NE. It's really sexy inside, intimate, red lighting and a large red candelabra centerpiece. Only 4 stools at the bar.
I ordered a Gin & Tonic with Bombay Sapphire East. I watched him make it, it was one part gin and ten parts tonic. For $14 (plus a $3 tip) I basically paid for a bottle of tonic. Bummer. I really wanted to like this place, so I decided to give them another try after the concert, I chose the infused vodka flight. Mango Chile was really good, but the other two, Ginger, Cherry, Strawberry and Peppar Blanco were terrible. I couldn't get them down. Eddie, the bartender, asked me what I thought, I told him I liked Mango Chile, but the other two I couldn't drink. A decent bartender would've offered to change out the two I didn't like. Sorry, I don't mind paying for a good hand crafted cocktail, but I didn't find that here.
