"A Rosemont bar that started as a Friday-night gin-and-tonic-and-fries hangout but has since elevated its offerings: inventive cocktails like a citrus-and-pepper Peppermousse made with a local gin, elevated small plates such as tater tots atop a vinegary crab and daylily salad, and a standout falafel recipe handed down from the co-owner’s Egyptian grandmother that uses fava beans and lots of herbs." - ByMehdi Brunet-Benkritly, as told to Mia Leimkuhler
