Cherry liqueur is unbeatable!
We loved the food and the history of this bar.
We didn’t make it in time for the lunch menu, but we did have one of the bar pizzas which was above and beyond what a normal bar pizza was.
But thats not why we stopped.
We stopped for an old fashioned and to join the bitters club.
$7 for a one year membership AND it includes a shot of bitters and a membership card!
Don’t mamsy pamsy around with the shot, just take it. Trust me.
The true gem here was our bartender Meg!
