Barbershop by day, speakeasy by night, this watering hole in the circa 1912 Cannibale Block centers around a Prohibition theme. We sat outside on the East-facing patio, which is semi-closed in and due to orientation does not get direct sun. That being said, the nice wood finishes, overhead heaters, and Edison style lights are very inviting for late al fresco drinking/dining.
The drink menu consists largely of cocktails, and while you can get classics like Manhattans, they focus on their own interpretation of prohibition & tiki drinks. They also have unusual, made up stuff like a corn drink. All of the liquors used are top shelf, making their $10-14 price easier to swallow (no pun intended). The consensus at the table was that the drinks were well prepared, but the recipes didn't wow us. A punch that takes two (or three?) days to make, using milk as a clarifying agent, tasted strongly of pineapple and not too much else. It was impressively clear, but also clearly missing some spice or bitters. My other two drinks were similar...nothing to complain to the waiter about, just a bit underwhelming given the menu descriptions.
If you want to order a classic drink, or prefer high end liquor with simpler flavor profiles in your cocktails, you'll love Cannibale. If you like complex-tasting cocktails, come here for a nightcap on the sweet nocturnal patio.
