| - Charlotte, you've outdone yourself.
This. This is a cocktail bar. This is a cocktail bar with a small but mighty menu. It's a restaurant, too, sure, but it feels more like a cocktail bar. The menu here though is not to be dismissed. We simply loved their food. We loved their food so much, we found ourselves eating Brussells sprouts -- which we both hate. Or used to? Yes, The Cellar is your cool aunt working in cahoots with your mom because they will make you WANT to eat your Brussells sprouts and they will give you these strong and delicious cocktails as your intoxicating reward.
The ambiance: totally chill, but don't come here in sweatpants please. I mean, you technically could I'm sure, but out of respect for the cocktails....please dress for your cocktails. Perfect for a date, a girls night, 1:2 dinners with your parents, drinks with coworkers, casual drink "things" with that guy or girl that you aren't sure if they're on the same page as you???
The cocktail menu is quite extensive and we had a blast being creative there.
TIPS:
1) It's kind of dark....nothing to say about that really, but try not to get too schwasty because I can attest that the walk to the bathroom feels weird when your vision is blurry and the lights are dim. But I guess that's anywhere?
2) Make a reservation. People like to come here. Make a rez. My boyfriend made one and we still had to wait, BUT the hostess reserved two seats for us at the bar so that we could have a few drinks while we waited.
3) Get a flatbread. Get the balsamic Brussels sprouts. Put the balsamic Brussels sprouts on your flatbread. Eat like a pizza. Enjoy your life.
4) Get the burger maybe? My bf heard these great things about the burger and ordered it and loved it. I didn't try it. He didn't offer to share actually...??? So either he was being selfish or just genuinely loved that burger. Or loved the burger so much and selfishly decided NOT to share. *eyeroll* But don't feel too bad for me -- that flatbread was lit. And again please refer to tip #3 -- you wont regret it.
All in all....an excellent meal and wonderful drinks. Will 500% be back next time I'm in town.
