Rum based cocktails, but the mojito was too sour IMHO. Live jazz was great & the dark & stormy decent.

It's called "The Rum House," but you can't go wrong with the Elijah Craig Manhattan.
Don FJune 24, 2017
If you like rum drinks this is the place. I love rum and tonics. They have every rum I know. Usually it's Bacardi and captain Morgan. I have to come back for the live jazz. Bartenders the real deal.
