| - My boyfriend and I are fans of REAL Long Island Iced Teas, so we thought we'd check out what Avenue Magazine tagged as Calgary's "Best Cocktail" over at Milk Tiger Lounge. The atmosphere was really mellow, dim lighting, and there was good tune-age. After confirming with the friendly bartender if their Long Islands were the real deal, we sat in the corner and awaited our drinks.
The Hardy Boy book cover menus were rad, and I just LOVED how they had the little paper pocket inside the "book" which held a card with their drink and soup feature. Resembled that of an old school library book you'd sign out from elementary, except the contents were much more riveting (Gimlet, Harvey Wallbanger, Old Fashioned, etc).
I could have done without the obnoxiously ear piercing laughter from the girls beside us, and the prices were a little steep, but it's definitely a great stop for a fancy cocktail night out on pay day.
The DJ was really good, my boyfriend pointed out a Kurt Vile remix, which is always impressive.
As for the Long Islands, we enjoyed them but found a lot of sugar settled at the bottom, which made our last sip a little unpleasant.
