The Usual

This place is really magical! You walk into the understated but cozy bar and it feels like you are meant to be there. You see the most up-to-date pride flag proudly hanging from the wall and it feels genuine and safe. If you though the atmosphere was good, wait till you get your hands on a drink because, goodness me, these are some of the best I’ve had. To start, our amazing server, Cynthia, was so knowledgeable on any and everything on the menu, and as an added bonus she had some amazing recommendations! I had the “sand and sea” first and GOOD LORD it was DEVINE!!! It was complex and elevated but still approachable and fresh, and the way it smelled!!! I also had the “don’t ask, don’t tell” which was amazing, it was floral but not to the point where is was potpourri to the face, and the ginger beer in it was crisp and refreshing. My partner had the “just keep swimming” which Cynthia described as a Pina colada with a more sophisticated pallet. And that is exactly what it was, it had all of those familiar flavors done so beautifully, like you could pick each one out individually. This was an amazing first go at the usual. We will definitely be returning to see what their menu has next!

One of my favorite no-fuss places for craft and classic vintage cocktails. If you love a creative cocktail, go here! Laid back, calm vibe where you can have a conversation thanks to the semi-private booths, or feel free to sit at the bar that's always busy and chat with the bartenders. One of the few bars we repeatedly come back to. Highly recommend.
