| - Go to this place, eat their food, and if you can talk to the chef and the bartender! This review is about the bar, so if you're into great, creative cocktails and bartenders that you can actually talk to and hold a conversations with, read on.
I came here after and event and took a seat at the bar. Relatively quite which was good because it gave me a chance to be a social butterfly. The tiny bar, about 5 seats, is manned by the extremely talented, creative, and mindful bartender known as Oscar. He will make you what you want, exactly how you want it, or put a spin on it.
I put my taste buds in his hand and ordered an Oscar, which is essentially him making you a unique cocktail. He asked what I just ate, looked at what I was wearing, asked about what I like and what I was in to. From that he walked me through what he was making me. He took a bit of this and a bit of that, most of which I had never heard of before and mixed it all together, tasting and commenting on it and deciding if it needed something more or not. After about 7 or 8 ingredients it was ready but not quite. Earlier on he asked me if I liked cinnamon to which I responded, "yes but not so much in drinks". He set some cinnamon bark on fire, put a cup over it, and let it fill with smoke. He told me to smell it before each sip. It worked perfectly.
To make a long story end rather quickly, if you wanted a great bartender that really knows his stuff, go here. Get a classic or get something completely new, you will enjoy it either way.
