| - 5/7/16: Just stuffed our faces to nearly overflowing, still teetering, but for whatever strange reason I felt I needed more.... need to drink! Finally after passing a few places, we found the Yardbird which called to us. Everything looked trendy. Lots of pretty people, but not steamy packed. Dressed well. And lots of couches! Looked awesome.
Well, as I said, we were stuffed, so we couldn't try the food. But by the looks of all the pics posted, it would have been great. Anyway, we got some drinks, and just lounged around on the sofas in bliss...
1. Southern Peach $14 "Old Forester 86, Aperol, fresh lemon & thyme with white peach puree & sweet tea, 1 1/4" block ice": Unfortunately I cannot remember the fine details of this except that it was a great version of hard tea. I think it could have used more kick though, but it did have many unique flavors in their due to the extensive ingredient list. 8/10
2. The Porkchop $15 "Duke bourbon, Yardbird dijon syrup!!!, yuzu juice & apple cider, 1 1/4" block ice with a dijon thyme cube": When I indicated I wanted this, the bartender asked me twice, "Are you SURE!?", further telling me that many people don't like it due to the fact that there is a very heavy mustard taste. I was like HELLS YES!!!--mustard!? Never drank anything with mustard in it! Well................ I was really disappointed from my first sip since I was expecting to be tasting some wild phenol peat-bomb like Octomore Scotch, reminiscent of Lawry's prime rib with waaaay too much mustard seed and horseradish on it. ....................blah..... just a sweet cocktail. Waaaaaaaaaa!? Huge letdown. Couldn't taste much of that mustard at all. They could have quintupled it without bothering me. Well, anyway, great idea.... needs work. 6/10
If I'm ever back around, this place would definitely be on my list of options.
4/5
