So here's your first look at the interior of Village Whiskey, Jose Garces' "neats and eats" bar at the corner of 20th and Sansom. (As of right now, it's up for a Thursday opening, but we hear there's a slight chance that may change � we'll keep everyone posted.)
We did our best to take in the narrow, soon-to-be-bustling space � lots of pretty dark wood behind the bar, antiquated bar stools, studded leather banquette, black and white hexagonal floor tiling � as the staff ran through a tasting earlier today. Above, check out pics of the top half of the menu (we'll have shots of the rest soon), which boasts bar snacks, salads and pickled items (all pickled stuff is served with grilled bread, tapenade and whipped ricotta spread). We somehow missed grabbing a pic of the tater tots. Who knew tater tots could be so elusive?
We also got a peek at The Aviation (classic recipe: Gin, creme de violette, maraschino, lemon) and the De Rigueur (rye, Aperol, grapefruit, lemon, honey, mint, soda) from the Prohibition and Repeal sections of the cocktail list, respectively.
I wish I could be back in Philly to open with everyone. It looks wonderful!
