I feel a little guilty proclaiming a bar/restaurant, let alone a brand spankin’ new one, a “gem,” based mostly on one drink, but the fact that I asked the bartender, “Do you make Sazerac?” and she responded, “Sazerac the cocktail? Yeah,” in a manner indicating there is no reason on this earth she shouldn’t be able to, makes this place worthwhile. And her name is Ginny. Her name alone rocks. I have a new home.
There is much more to write about the Russell House Tavern, most certainly. But for now, I’ll be content with the bar and the fact that the atmosphere is so cozy that next time I’m bringing my slippers.
Local liquor, not just beer. Pretty darn cool.
Cozy
Knowledgeable bartenders – well, at least one for sure
Tips:
If there’s a cocktail you’re looking for, just ask if they make it. If they could make mine, I’m sure they can make yours. If not, get something else – I’m sure it’s delicious.
You can absolutely sit outdoors. Nice.
