| - Wayfarer Bar is the newest neighbor in Fremont East, and it's located next to the also-new Inspire News Cafe. Walking in, it feels a little less Ray-Ban than the name suggests and a little more Ralph Lauren in a classic sense of the term.
The bar top was full when a friend and I walked in, which meant we had the luxury of sitting on one of several sofa areas that could easily seat eight people. "Ooh, cushy!" is what I'm thinking, until I realize that's because the place wasn't maxed out at the time. I suppose if you've got a few small groups on a busy night you'd have to share some seating, but in that case I'd probably be thinking, "Ooh, douchey!"
The menu we received wasn't at all like the ones listed in the photos and has either since been updated or we were handed the light version that night. There were only five cocktails available, and a standard beer & wine selection. Both of us opted for a Moscow Mule that I hope wasn't representative of the other four choices - the drink came out muddy-looking, as if it had been melting for a while, and otherwise tasted lukewarm.
So here's to another option for adult beverages downtown now. This is America, we love the freedom to choose!
