No cocktail menu means that each beverage is a consequence of an old-fashioned bartender-customer interaction--from Ramos Fizzes to the house twist on a Manhattan, the Fort Point--and open to each party's whim. Discerning cocktail geeks will adore the obsessive attention to ice, from the Kold-Draft cubes to the 50-pound frozen block that's chiseled and thwacked into cocktail-specific perfection.

Interesting concept. The room was cold and subterranian. I was very excited to hear about this bar since I was told that after a "mini" interview, the bartender creates a cockatil for you. That was not the case. I like the idea of getting back to old type of drink glasses. The ones that held a perfect size drink without have to add a lot of juice or water to make it look big. The perfect measurement of alcohol...and very delicate glass. The bartender had no idea what i was talking about when I said that I heard that the staff asks the customer their likes and dislikes and then creates a cocktail to fit their tastes. So instead i just asked for an an old fashioned gin martini. It was right on and stirred not shaken. Did not try any of the food, not too many people there but good on a stormy snowy night.
- Pros: Classic Drinks
- Cons: Lacking warmth in the basement setting
