The Garrison

"A sibling bar to Concordia’s neighborhood cocktail bar Wilder, the Garrison bears a similar appeal: a rustic, homey, and casual affair serving high-quality cocktails. The menu is divided between familiar classics — each made with aplomb — and more original drinks. The house drinks are generally spirit-driven and often incorporate more obscure vermouths and amari. While there are options for people who appreciate lighter, refreshing libations, it’s definitely a destination for those who like their drinks with a boozy and botanical kick. Whiskey aficionados will appreciate the bar’s extensive list, as well." - Rebecca Roland, Brooke Jackson-Glidden

"This spacious bar in St Johns offers some of the best cocktails in the neighborhood, generally spirit-forward and strong. Diners can enjoy them on the premises — including at a bar with an open window along one wall — or they can take them home. Only the classics list (which also tend to lean spirit-heavy, with sazeracs and negronis filling the menu) are available, but those often work well alongside the stunning pizzas from next door’s Gracie’s or a bowl of steaming ramen from the excellent neighboring Mikasa Sushi and Ramen." - Alex Frane

"This St. Johns cocktail bar is selling cocktails again, for those sitting on the bar’s shared patio." - Alex Frane
