Holy Booze, Batman!

I think one of the things I hear the most when talking to customers is "You guys have a bar?!" YES! Yes we do! Yes we do and it's pretty rad! We run the gamut of old school Italian amari (some of my favorite things in this world, Fernet Branca being top dog) to off the wall gelato cocktails, to super classic libations. We try to keep things simple, and with the weather being what it is lately, we figured we should conjure some warmth up in this piece...of West Philly.Can I just say that there's something about coffee with whiskey in it that can make me feel better regardless of circumstance? Maybe it's the Irish in me (aka, the lush), but it's comforting in a way I can't fully understand or describe, I just know that it heals. Ditto on Hot Toddy's, although Jo (our illustrious bar manager) has concocted a fancy one appropriate for all occasions, not just the flu - it's got black & green teas with Vieux Carre absinthe (we love you Philadelphia Distilling!), maraschino liquor, lemon & honey. Crazy good. She's also got a mulled wine, offered daily, that'll take the chill off any Snowpocalypse, Snowmageddon...snow....period. Pretty much something for all, from the crazy bitter, to the crazy sweet and girlie, to the oh so stoic (Blood and Sand, anyone?) Come see us. We mix things up all the time, and are flexible, although don't ask us for PBR...we do our own "City Wide".
By the way, did you hear? Phil didn't see his shadow...and someone told me there's a big American sports gathering this weekend? Pah. We're way cooler. Need more inspiration for weekend festivities? Go see our very own KAMALA SMITH as she kills it (er...inks it?) at the Philadelphia Tattoo convention. Screw you, winter! We're taking it back.
