We’ve come to Bryant’s cocktail lounge, which has been around since 1938. It’s an old style lounge, very dark, velvety, with jazz playing from a McIntosh sound system (Travis says its at least a $10K system. They don’t have a menu, but offer about 450 different cocktails. You give the bartender details of what types of things you like, things you don’t like, and they make something for you (or you can ask for something specific, but where’s the fun in that?).
travis ended up with something called a Candlelight, which was a peachy, raspberry take on a hurricane (except it came on fire!). Doug has a Buena Vista, which was sort of margarita-ish. Both very good
