More details on Jose Garces' Village Whiskey
 |
Got some new info on Village Whiskey, the 30-seat speakeasy-inspired brown liquor bar chef Jose Garces is opening this June at 118 S. 20th Street, right next to Tinto.
On the booze: close to 100 choices for whiskey, bourbon, scotch and rye, spanning countries of origin like Scotland, Ireland, Canada and Japan. Sparkling wines will also be on offer behind the bar, as well as a selection of American craft brews. Bar manager Paul Rodriguez has constructed a 16-cocktail list that'll feature both classic American tipples ("Prohibition") and nouveau drinks ("Repeal"). Examples include a nice Old Fashioned with Noah's Mill 114-proof bourbon (!), Boissiere Italian vermouth, Fee Brothers bitters, cherry and orange; a Sazerac, with rye, Herbsaint absinthe, Peychaud's bitters and lemon; the Latin Quarter Club, with Cazadores reposado tequila, Flor de Cana rum, Johnny Red, grapefruit and grapefruit bitters; and the Sansom Street Flip, with Charbay blood orange vodka, fruit and egg whites. Cocktails will range from $11 to $18.
On the eats: Chef de cuisine Dave Conn, who's currently at Tinto, will offer up raw bar, charcuterie and cheese selections, house-cured pickles and "American Bar Snacks" like housemade cheese puffs and spicy cheddar popcorn. More substantial plates will include three types of burgers (Angus beef, veggie and bison) and all-beef hot dogs with duck fat fries and Sly Fox boozy cheddar cheese sauce. Prices here will top out at $20.
Can not wait! But the real question is... when?
Ben: June is the month as of right now, but no word yet on early/mid/late. Chef Garces' restaurants seem to always open up on time, though, so mark it down just in general!
