Long ago, I had a group of friends who used to love coming to Burritt Room. Since then, I know this spot has changed quite a few times. A friend and I were in the area and decided to check out the most recent incarnation, Martime. The layout of the venue has pretty much stayed the same. It was a chill Wed night, so we just grabbed two seats at the bar.
The bartender was awesome. She was a great conversationalist. We learned a little about how Maritime came to be. We were here for a good 1.5 hours, so ended up doing two rounds. I started off with the manhattan from the menu. Spirit forward, but still nicely balanced. For the 2nd round, I asked her to surprised me with a good follow up. I can't recall what was in it other than the rye, but if memory serves it was similar to a Brooklyn. She actually paired it with chocolate pretzels on the side. I am not a sweet and savory, nor a chocolate person, but this complemented the cocktail. I was pleasantly surprised.
I've actually been to four different versions of this venue - Burritt Room, Mystic Room, Fisher Loft, and now Maritime. Gotta say, even with the changing of hands, it's still very consistent in terms of my enjoyment. Plus, parking is easy as the Sutter Stockton garage is right across the street.
