    Best White Russian I've ever had in my LIFE. If you're a Gin drinker, get the Bee's Knees... Delicious. If you like Rum go with the Blueberry Mojito. Live jazz usually on Wed nights & weekends

    Highwire Lounge makes all its infusions in-house. A perennial favorite cocktail: the Cucumber Caipiroska, made with Citron vodka and fresh cucumber and lemon juices. Refreshing!

    Try the New Amsterdam: champagne, triple sec and grapefruit juice. A little sweet, a little tart, but all around fizzy and delicious.

    Great cocktails at surprisingly good prices, especially during Happy Hour. Highly recommend the Corduroy!

    Monday night trivia is pretty good... chill, entertaining, and all the good drinks and food of Trappeze.

    The most delicious London Fog I've ever tasted. Try one when they're in season!

    Get a lavender 75 if you're feeling fancy and looking for something delicious.

    Great drink prices for such an amazing product. Service can be a bit slow if the bar is busy.

    Whether at Highwire or Trappeze, do not pass up the spinach salad. Best salad I've ever had.

    Try the Sweet Ruby with Zubrowka instead of Tito's. I'm calling it a "Pamplemoose."

    Fantastic drinks but terrible service. If you're not in a hurry, have a corduroy.
