| - Graveyard of Champions (Picture #69 is the menu for Summer '14 -until the end of August?) is the first cocktail I ordered today, wonderfully fresh and fitting for summer. I partially agree with Sandra R. in that the cucumber ice cube is a bit too much, the cocktail was much better when I let my drink sit and some of the cucumber mixed with the drink. Cocktails are meant to be drank slow, sipped and enjoyed. Something my generation does not understand, unfortunately. But the cube was damn large, maybe two or three smaller cubes would be better? Done talking about ice cubes now.
The second drink was their twist on an old fashioned cocktail. I say twist because I believe he added an olive instead of a cherry and used soda water versus plain. Beautiful. I appreciate a bartender/bar equipped with a muddler despite how simple.
In all the decor was good. Eye pleasing without taking away from conversation. I went midday, the windows in the front brought in sufficient but not too much daylight. All the metals & classic seating fit together very well. I myself not so impressed with the Buddha chandelier. Whatever.
Great friendly, knowledgeable bartenders, caring enough to offer waters to people drinking (including myself), bars in this town need to do this more. Great lively atmosphere, no smoking inside (I smoke, don't mind this), some gaming & in addition to the craft cocktails there is also a few craft beers on the menu. They accept credit cards & have clean bathrooms.
I dinged them for the limited/street parking but this definitely won't be my last time here.
