Dry Point Distillers.
This is one of the best bars in Las Cruces. They not only distil their own spirits, but they invent some great cocktails as well. Last night I had a double shot of Blue Corn Bourbon neat, an Old Fashioned with Rye, and two Kentucky Mules, all while participating in Trivia Las Cruces with my two new friends, Paulina and Steve. (We finished second). The mixologists behind the bar were great. They got my drinks to me with grace and speed and every cocktail was perfection. I appreciate the both of you very much, Dry Point also carries a small number of New Mexico breweries products, which, based on the chalkboard they were listed on much change from time to time. If you are looking for a great place to hang out with your friends for drinks, I can think of no better place than Dry Point.
Stone Crow Gourmet
Stone Crow Gourmet, owned by Chef Gary is located inside Dry Point as an independent entity. Perhaps one of the best things to happen was the joining of these two business. Stone Crow Gourmet takes a great bar and turns it into a great gastro-pub.
I had the Smoked Salmon Crostini and I had to get a box to take some home. For those of you familiar with Crostini they are typically sliced baguettes with a smattering of goodness. Not these Crostini, these were full side French bread slice on the diagonal with generous portions of flavorful joy. I ordered the full order which was six Crostini and that friends was too much. I was able to eat two of them there, I shared one each with the aforementioned mixologists and took two home, one of which now remains after a great midnight snack. The Crostini also came with a fresh salad with tomatoes, cucumbers marinaded in something, tasty greens, all drizzled with Gary's house made vinaigrette
I also got a chance to taste Chef Gary's house made Barbeque sauce and it is sweet and spicy bit of liquid magic, Can't wait to try it on a pulled pork sandwich or the rib tips.
If you have been to Dry Point then you probably know everything I just said, but if you haven't been, and you enjoy gastronomical delights and great cocktails, get thee to Dry Point and Stone Crow Gourmet
