The Last Word
This place is amazing! As good as it gets.
It is a little pricey, but its Downtown! What would you expect? Really, the price isn't that different from most (good) cocktail bars in the area. Drinks range from $8-$13 dollars with some shot specials. Typical prices.
I have visited this bar many times before, once on New Years, which despise being slammed were friendly and helpful to those that they were serving.
Usually I go into the bar when Happy Hour is over, which is from 4-7 offering 5 dollar cocktails (three to choose from). During the off Happy Hour Hours that i have visited I've ordered a drink called Stage Dives and Fist Fights.....which might be the best thing in the world. It is the perfect balance or spirits coming together in one cocktail. I'm not a big Mezcal fan, but this drink makes me eat my words, (or drink them, in this case.)
This past visit, i actually made it in time for a happy hour, which included a Slow and Low Old Fashion. Which. Was Amazing. The Slow and low is on tap at the Bar right now (the spirit on tap does rotate). And the Old Fashioned it's made with is excellent. The bartenders are friendly, and there is food in case you get hungry!
I wish the Happy hour applied to the cocktails on the menu. but it doesn't. and yet they are still amazing. Besides the Stage Dives and Fist Fights, I've had friends order other cocktails, but I to be honest, It was New Years and I dont really remember what we got, or how good it was. When i visited during this past Happy Hour though, there were other consumers there that were trying the Cocktails off the menu, and there is absolutely no shortage of creativity in the presentation of the concoctions. The Apex Predator is served in a Tiki Glass, and actually comes served on a plate with a little garnish. This place has mad plating skills. It actually made me want to spring the money on the most expensive cocktail on he menu. Budget, however, says that I have to wait. (Maybe when the Income tax check arrives I can order it?)
All in All. GO TO THIS BAR. GET ALL THE DRINKS. The menu is seasonal (as it is as most bars), and is subject to change. SO ACT NOW.
Everything Ranges on a scale of 1-5!
