Rabbit Hole Helgold Bottle
Rabbit Hole is a new venture that quickly made a name for itself, by producing award winning whiskies. Heigold uses a decent amount of rye in the mashbill this creates slightly spicier and drier profile. We love it. Must be 21 to purchase.
Rabbit Hole Dareringer Bottle
Rabbit Hole is new to the scene and is making and blending some tremendous whiskies. The Dareringer is a small batch "wheater" that't finished in Px Sherry casks. The additional aging addds luscious sweetness and spice. LLike dessert in a glass. Must be 21 to purchase.

Couple of things ... The slicing of the brisket was just a bit much (more like chunks than slices) and the dryness of the meat was quite noticeable. The secondary space for a side looked quite sad all empty, the overall price more than justified making it happy. The beans were ok, the mac and cheese was better. Would have tried the pulled pork but I was already out $30. The seasoning on the brisket was definitely notable, as were the sauces.

The BBQ here is exceptional! You might think going to a BBQ spot would be all heavy meats but not the case here. The dish I had was their special grilled salmon burger with blueberry BBQ sauce, I cannot even begin to explain how delicious it was! As well as the smoked then fried wings. Probably the best wings in the city! They were also exceptionally hospitable in providing vegan options for a friend, and accommodating an 8 person walk-in party with little to no wait time. Just...

Get the wings, get the wings. One last time... Get the wings. The wings at cinder are some of the best in memory. They are smoked and then fried. They are fantastic. It's hard for me to go past and not stop and get an order of the wings. The other food is great as well they had a specialty blueberry BBQ salmon sandwich when I went, it was also very good. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The outdoor seating is great on nice days just be aware of birds in the trees...
