Lament for my new fav bar
We went to 820 North Rampart Street or now known as Tonique last night for a cocktail. I was trying to show off some of my favorite haunts to an out of towner. We walked into an empty bar and I said, things are happening in here. Then the bartender turned into CUJO about my comment and we were so turned off we instantly left. I walked down the street and heard from service people in the hood that no one goes in there because of the attitude problem. Such a shame, a beautiful space, delicious drinks. Sigh.
Where we did go is Meaux Bar which always manages to over-deliver in friendliness and tastiness.
