Finally made it!
Located in a little food row across from Northgate lies Liberty Call Distillery. It looked like parking could be a challenge, but luckily for me, I ubered.
I've yet to make it for their $20 steak night, but since I was planning on going to a jazz show in the area, I figured it'd be a great opportunity to give Liberty Call a try, and I'm glad I did.
Upon walking in, I was greeted and told to sit anywhere I'd like. I always love sitting at the bar, especially at brewpubs, as you typically get more attentive service, and people are often more social and chatty there. I come for the food and drinks, but I greatly enjoy meeting new people, and I'm always up for some good banter. The first thing I noticed was that the bar seats are much too low for the bar; it would make a bit of a challenge for shorter people or those with small torsos. I can only imagine that they don't want to invest in new bar stools, because it's obvious these aren't the ones. There's only a few larger tables, so if you're in a big group, you may end up having to push several tables together, which seemed like a regular occurrence here.
I opted for the Cherry Smash, which was still $9 on happy hour, as I'm a big fan of cherries. The drink was just okay, and although I ordered 2 more after that, I'd probably opt for something else next time as there wasn't much cherry flavor to the smash. My boy got a draft cocktail, I believe $7 on HH, that was 19% abv and delicious. I'd probably get that next time.
I ordered the famous cashew wings, $8 on HH, and the burger, also $8 on HH. I asked for the wings to be extra crispy and that they were; they had a nice little sweet tang, and were very delicious. The burger was a double with cheese, and it also had a beautiful onion ring on top. The burger wasn't anything to write home about, but it wasn't bad by any means. It had a nicely toasted garlic buttered bun, and was served with bbq sauce on the side. I wish they had asked how I prefer my burger to be cooked, as the burger was served well done.
Definitely going to make it back!
