This isn't the speakeasy. It also isn't the typical loud sports bar or a gastropub that have a thousand flat screens plastered all over the walls.
A small place rectangular in shape with the bottom and top tier and two bars, this is the kind of place you go to have a conversation with friends. And if you're alone like me when you sit down at the bar, you're going to be greeted as if you were an old friend. The Danish have a word to describe the bartender at the top tier bar. When it comes to mixing drinks he embodies and demonstrates the highest knowledge, prerequisites and competencies a person who's an expert in a particular subject, field, craft or occupation. The Danish description for people who possess this level of skill is called Faglighed ( say, Faw-le-hed). Watch Everybody who's working there. And you'll easily be able to label them all the same as this bartender.
The place has a nautical theme and the drink menu follows suit. I had a
Mutiny on the Bounty. It's a bourbon drink with a softer finish than most. Living in Kentucky for the last few years taught me a lot about bourbon. The bar at the 1st floor has a simply wonderful selection of bourbons that cross the entire spectrum of tastes and price points.
I also had a meatball appetizer. 💯 tasty. The couple to my right were celebrating their thirteenth anniversary. They shared that their drinks were perfect and if I was a bully I'd have helped them with the oysters they had.
As I said, it's a small place. The natrow signature from the street makes it easy to miss. Trust me. If you come in here, have a drink, and eat some appetizers, it'll be even easier to miss when you leave.
