    On a winter's night, there's nothing better than a Mr. Howell. Smokey from the scotch, sweet from the maple syrup. Perfect.

    Great new spot in the hood with a great low-key vibe. Give these nice kids some of your valuable business.

    One bartender was eating chips and putting her fingers in her mouth before she handmade my drink. I do not like it here.

    Justin does a variation on the sazerac that actually improves on the classic (please don't tell NOLA).

    Use the bathroom in the (new) back room, better chance of no line.

    Cash only! If you're a fan of bourbon and chocolate, the Easy Rider is not to be missed! Reminded me of a Grand Marnier chocolate truffle with its hint of orange.
