Currently, they’re experimenting with flavors like a strawberry black pepper soda, blends of alcohol and dairy, and drinks that highlight citrus and bitters for a limited selection of cocktails, shots, and maybe a wine or beer option. “And if you can’t find something on this menu that you’d like to try, then I’m going to point you to a couple bars that might scratch that itch for you,” says Pfister.

The two friends and business partners are building the bar from the ground up, gutting an old auto garage to make room for an unstuffy bar, cocktail kitchen, and patio.
