After reading a review of Industry in the City Paper I knew I wanted to check it out. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around 4:30pm for a cocktail and appetizer. The place is a huge u-shaped bar, with a handful of tables scattered about. Although the number of TVs hinted that this is the place to watch sports in Lawrenceville, the drink menu suggested way more than sports pub.
They have 40 taps with several local brews and an impressive drink menu. I ordered the Robber Baron, which is made with vodka, vermouth, pickle juice, and a pickle spear. Whoever thought this drink up must have been reading my mind. It was a perfect cocktail for someone who loves pickles. The boyfriend had a cocktail with cherry infused whiskey, which was just sweet enough to hide the fact that it was whiskey!
We ordered a flatbread with fresh mozzarella, basil, and roasted tomatoes. The serving was small for the price, and didn't really resemble flatbread so much as a pita with toppings. Despite that, the fresh toppings did not disappoint.
I hope they start posting their food and drink menus online. I will definitely return for another pickle cocktail...I can't get anything like it anywhere else!
