There are dozens of varieties of house made bitters, 2 passionate mixologists-in-residence, and every conceivable liqueur (and liquor) you can imagine. This is the place Molly has been waiting for the entire time she’s lived in the area. We met Mike, half of the mixologist team, on our first visit and he made us 2 of the most delicious adult beverages we’ve had in ages.
