Old School

We’re big fans of “fresh and homemade,” even better if it’s organic—even better if it’s local; with that, a combined history in kitchens that pushed creativity and execution, and the idea for a truly old-school cocktail bar was born. The plan is to emulate the old tavern-style bars that littered turn of the century America, producing as much as possible entirely in house.

We make everything from various bitters and homemade liqueurs to a handful of soda mixers in house, going as far as we can to give the most genuine bar experience. We provide hand cut ice as well, with fresh local fruit and honey when at all possible.

We’re giant fans of no-waste production. I don’t think there’s near anything that we’ll be throwing away that won’t have been completely depleted of flavor or value in terms of consumption. For example: the pits of all our stone fruit is used for noyeaux, the skin and flesh for liqueur or candying, and any leaves will be dehydrated and used for bitters, flavoring, garnishing, etc.

Come by and give it a try, we hope yall enjoy.

We found a number of interesting liquors that were used in the late 18th and early 19th centuries—things that would be common back then—that had somewhat fallen out of fashion with the more focused interest in things like whiskey, gin, and vodka. Things like Genever, Batavia Arrack, Kirschwasser, Himbeergeist, etc., each of which has its own incredible profile.

Each couple weeks (or when we accidentally stumble onto an incredible recipe) and every season or so, we’ll have specials that will reflect the fruits, flavors, and aromas of the season, depending on availability.
