You walk into a small row-home style bar with original tin roof (NO rust here). The lighting, colors, atmosphere feel like a time gone by until you hear people talking about the big Eagle’s game yesterday while No Broke Boys thumps over the speakers.
The bar fare is elevated without overthinking, yet true to form. French Onion Dip with homemade chips feel right at home here. The Grace Burger on an English Muffin, tho, is the standout. I know. Really? An English muffin? But trust me, the crunch of the muffin paired with the aioli and the burger just works! It’ll make you question why every other burger relies so heavily on an oversized bun. We finished with the Chocolate Budino, slightly heavier than your typical mousse but with all the delightful richness.
The cocktails a good too. The Blackberry Walnut Old Fashioned was delightful and frankly a tried and true neighborhood bar has no business having a Côtes du Rhône this solid.
So sure it may just be going for the neighborhood bar vibe, and it does that REALLY well, but sometimes it’s the simplicity that makes something be greater than the sum of its parts. And on that note, I’ll definitely be back, when I’m in the neighborhood.
