Cork and Barrel Craft Kitchen + Microbrewery
Is this a cocktail or a science experiment? We think Bill Nye would be impressed by the cocktail creations at the Cork & Barrel. We are certainly in awe of this Carrie Bradshaw cocktail with a citrus bubble! They have handcrafted drinks that are sure to wow guests. After looking over the menu, we are unsure what to order because everything looks so appetizing. We especially love the clever names like Ross & Rachel, Heaven Sent, and Texas Sun!

Lounge with a libation in your hand at The Ruby Hotel. They have a whimsical bar with an outdoor patio and they serve up superb drinks. They have a classic Ruby Old-Fashioned, and Italian spirits and a drink called the Jamaican Farewell with Havana Clasico Rum, Rum Haven, pineapple, lime, and Ginger Beer.
