Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a... Whoa, whoa, hold up. It's Kelly in the corner!! It's a Christmas miracle! Hooray!!

We're closed today, friends. Hope you all have a relaxing day!

As some of you may know, for our first 20 years I made it a tradition to open up on Christmas Eve, dazzling you all with slick bottle twirling, expert Champagne fountain building, sliding match tricks, exquisite spin moves and tons of close up magic. However, taking the last two years off due to the pandemic has left me noodlyllegged, clumsy and generally a hot mess behind the bar, so I feel it's best that I don't ruin Christmas and officially retire 😔. So moving forward, we will be closed on Christmas Eve unless someone wants to open up. This year you're in luck because is in! Hooray!!
If you're looking to get some Christmas Eve clowning in with your pals, come through and show Ollie some love. He will be opening at 8pm. The kitchen will be closed, so feel free to bring some snacks. PS. Ollie loves Christmas cookies and pizza puffs.

This 123 proof bourbon has some heat to it but still drinks smooth on it's own. Keep your eye on our cocktail menu when you stop in because you will be seeing it pop up in cocktails from time to time. Grab a bottle now to proudly display on your home bar or as a stocking stuffer for your best pals. They'll love you forever and ever! Click on the link in our bio to place an order for pick up!
