I will be there next week. I've been there a few times but haven't found a good speakeasy of craft cocktail bar. Word has it that Patterson House is good. Anyone have any suggestions?
I'm a cocktail snob. I admit it. Ingredients matter and one that is often times overlooked is sweet vermouth. The majority of the cocktails I like have sweet vermouth. Up until now my favorite was Carpano Antica Formula. While at the amazing Baxter Inn speakeasy in Sydney Australia, I was...
I've never been there, but I'm heading there tomorrow.
Where to hear great music?
Best places to eat?
Finest craft cocktails?
Coolest guitar stores?
Other?
Thanks guys.
I love Manhattans and the variants of that amazing cocktail. One that is current favorite I learned from The Pour House in Vancouver, B.C. It's a Tequila Bijou. Purest might not agree that since the base alcohol is not bourbon or rye that it doesn't qualify but we can debate that later. Let's...

I am fortunate to be able to travel the world and experience some the greatest cities on the planet. Therefore I do have a list of amazing restaurants, hotels and of course bars. I love revisiting fabulous epicenters of mixology where wizards conjure up cocktails on a high level but often I find...

My guess is that this has been discussed before but while I was in Vancouver B.C. a bartender made me a Left Hand cocktail that I posted about. It was from a book by the bartender from an old school style bar in NYC called Please Don't Tell.
Great book with very cool art direction that...
My latest favorite cocktail is the Red Hook. I discovered it at an amazing speak easy in Sydney Australia called The Baxter Inn. I am tempted to do a separate thread on it.....but I'm going roll it into one.
OK....first the joint: The door is hidden in an alley behind a building leading to...
