The New Cocktailians

Casey Shelton – Manager
Three words for you: closet karaoke addict. Who would have guessed? When he's not rockin' the mic, he's rockin' the bar. Tell him to get a haircut...please!

Miki – Cocktail Waitress
There when you need her, Miki always has a secret shot deal that you can only get from her. Ask her and she'll hook you up! She has expensive tastes though, so be good to her or she'll put an Asian curse on you.

Guerin Bell - Bartender
He looks innocent, but he's not. He's like a secret weapon, except that weapon is a spork. Give him a hard time, he enjoys it.

Jack McDowell - Host

If Chuck Norris and Jack got in a fight, it would end in a tie. At least, that's what Jack's been telling us. Just refer to him as Colonel, he loves that.

Chris Shinn- Barback
Accident prone is an understatement, Chris hurts himself getting up in the morning. Ask him about the Jeffrey and why he's not allowed to have one anymore.

Caroline Bryn - Bartender

Miss Caroline is a student of many things, including fine spirits. Let her make you one of the classics and you'll be impressed. She makes a mean Old Fashioned.

Miguel Emmanuelli - Bartender/Barback
Manning the front, Miguel keeps watch with a keen eye and a quick wit. He has impeccable style; he likes his jeans tight and his women loose.

Corey Callahan - Host

Like Lance Armstrong without all the drugs (or most of them anyway), Corey kicks ass on 2 wheels. Often by wielding a stick. Currently, without beard.

Call us or write us using the fancy white form. We specialize in making special events special. We love celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, getting a new job, losing a job, hook ups, break ups, funerals…anything really, except we don't do baby showers.

An idea of the madness we create:

Senor Extravagante
A play on the Negroni with Correlejo reposado tequila and Tiki Bitters. Don't know what that means? That's ok. We still like you.

Pegu Club
A timeless clasic. Start with fresh lime, orange bitters, Plymouth Gin and a dash of cointreau. Sublime.

The Shelton
Named after an old Texas hounddog, this summer cocktail is a surefire winner. Tequila, ruby red grapefruit, bitters and King's Ginger. Fantastic!

Le Pomme et Le Poire

The most amazing sparkling cocktail you'll ever have. Pear preserves, Sapphire gin, lemon, cointreau and a splash of Asti.

Red Dawn
Fresh seasonal berries, Russian Standard vodka, ginger liqueur and ginger beer. Thirsty yet?

Raspberry Lagerita
Can't decide between a beer or a cocktail? Have both in the same glass! Crazy, you say? Delicious we say!

Orange Jalapeno Margarita
We didn't invent the jalapeno regardless of what you've heard. We just make it better by adding really great tequila, fresh sour and cointreau.

We specialize in all of the classics, from an algonquin to a zombie. We hand stir our martinis, make our own syrups and sours and will happily create a custom drink just for you. We make real drinks for people who enjoy the art of drinking. Watch the magic and join in. You'll never be disappointed.

Of course, if you just want a beer, that's cool! We have something for everyone....
