My wife and I were in town visiting her mom on our annual summer trip and decided to pop out for a quick night cap before the kids had to go to bed. We stopped in not long before closing time on Tuesday and sat down right away at the bar with a couple drinks. With most of the action being down in Portland, we weren't expecting much from a little bar tucked away in sleepy Falmouth, but we were pleasantly surprised as soon as we walked in at how chic but inviting the room was. It's a relatively small space, but I think it feels bigger than it is. The vibe and the cocktails were so good, we ended up going back Friday night before we left as well.
On the latter evening, my wife got the wine flight and let the bartender choose for her. She brought out an albariño, a skin contact pinot grigio from Slovenia, and a red from the country of Georgia. She ended up buying bottles of the last two (and at prices that would make grocery stores blush to boot!). All excellent in their own, unique ways. I got the espresso martini with the Amarula cold foam after Tuesday evening's bartender so strongly encouraged me to do so. It was solid and the cold foam was really tasty (if you haven't had Amarula yet, go out and get a bottle like... now) though trying to make sure I got some cold foam with the martini itself became challenging pretty quickly. I might have to just stir it in next time to get the full effect. A very solid beverage indeed. To top it off, we got the manchego charcuterie board, which had 3 nice wedge-shaped slices along with a variety of items, including almonds, pickles, mostarda, and gluten free crackers that were reminiscent of seedy Triscuits. All really delicious and again at a reasonable price.
All in all, this was an extremely pleasant find for us. An excellent, quiet, modern bar 5 minutes away without all the craziness of the Old Port (as much as we love it down there still though!). I can't wait to go back! read more
