"Fancy a $12 charcuterie plate or $11 truffle bread? The Bower Bar pairs those deals with $5-$7 classic drinks during happy hour from 4-6 p.m." - Missy Frederick
"This chic LGD hotspot turns into a winter wonderland during the holiday season, serving up specialty seasonal cocktails in a decked-out setting. There’s one hot cocktail on the festive menu this year: Scrooge’s Cider is served in a holiday mug with 360 Red Delicious Apple Vodka, False River Spiced Rum, and warm house-made apple cider." - Clair Lorell
"This is Mark Latter and company’s revamp of the short-lived Claret Wine Bar space, an extension of the existing Bower on Magazine Street. While it serves food from the Bower kitchen, the focus here is drinks — the 20-seat bar serves sophisticated cocktails like the Hydrix — bourbon, mint-infused contratto, amaro, and aquafaba. The swanky bar shares an outdoor space with both of its sister spots, the Bower and Birdy’s." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff
"Need a little giddy-up before heading to the parades? The Bower Bar offers a caffeinated cocktail menu through Fat Tuesday, cocktails that feature house-made brews, matcha, and more, balanced with ingredients from partner farm, Sugar Roots." - Beth D'Addono
"The LGD’s modern, plant-draped bistro from the growing Latter Hospitality restaurant group, reserves a space for mocktails on its cocktail menu. Try a Moody Judy, made with vanilla bean lemonade and butterfly pea flower, or a Sugar Roots Spritz, hibiscus syrup with fresh lime and soda water. Diners are encouraged to ask for any of the creative cocktails, sans hooch." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono
