Date night Sunday where we decided to check out two new places near our casa.
We stopped into Turnhouse Grille around 5pm on a Sunday. The place was pretty quiet but we were welcomed in with open arms! Sat at the bar and proceeded to get the low down from the bar tender.
Turnhouse is not officially opened yet and is just doing a soft opening. They haven't advertised a ton just yet either. We absolutely loved the bartender, who was so enthusiastic and excited about her job. She showed us her different thoughts on future cocktails and her change-ups on some of the classics. She even keeps a running notebook of different funny names that come up around the city as an inspiration for future cocktail names. Halfway through our drinks, an owner (there are two, both were there) came in and shook our hands and introduced himself. It was cool getting this inside peak of the runnings of this place.
The ambiance is fairly relaxed with a nice size bar, 2 tvs, and ample seating. Small mason jar candle lights at a nice touch.
For this occasion, we stuck with just drinks (though the food menu looked amazing and we will definitely be back). I got the Booty Loop and my husband got a mixed drink that had whiskey (or bourbon...dont remember) in it and wine (odd I know!). Wish I would have remembered the name cause it was absolutely delish! The Booty Loop was super refreshing and the perfect balance of tart and sweet. I thought the cocktail prices were extremely well priced.
I am so excited to have stumbled upon this place and can't wait to see the amazing things that come out of it. Go check it out! Great job guys!
