So hearing about it from a friend and reading the reviews on yelp, I had to check it out. To get in, you wander behind Citizens Public House and you see the staircase with the sign posted at the bottom. You have to call the number on the sign to get in. So after calling the number, out comes this 7 ft tall character who would be intimidating if he wasn't smiling so wide. His name is Tony and he tells us it will be just a minute before he can get us seated. Their drinks are so complex and take so long to make that they moderate how quickly they seat tables so people aren't waiting for drinks. In the meantime he asks us about food allergies..(?) and my interest is peaked. This place is thorough.
Inside the atmosphere is classy and clean, exactly my kind of hip, casual lounge where you can have a drink and still sit down and enjoy a nice crowd.
Ohhh emmm geee the drinks! I started with a light and refreshing vodka cucumber drink, delicious. Then I had this drink called the Barbie Girl. Don't kid yourself, this is not for children. It's some patron, with some more patron and then they sprinkle some kind of ground up shellfish on the top. It's sparkly, pink, and it will knock your socks off! My friend had their Old Fashioned- it was one of those layered drinks where the flavors change as you drink it. So ridiculously amazing!
I'll be back! And I'll be really disappointed if Tony doesn't answer the door.
