We were there in 2000. I imagine that there were better dressed people in the bar, but they really didn't give us a chance to check.

Thanks for the nice review. Your points all make sense to me, all great suggestion on presentation. On ratios for certain drinks (ie sidecar) these do vary from bartender to bartender, bar to bar. But we did the best we could!

Cheers

Fix Your Drink

Sure, this is not a proper Old Fashioned. This cocktail is a riff on the Old Fashioned. We too are traditionalists when it comes to an Old Fashioned. Though I agree in principal with the article you reference, there are few things I do take umbrage with such as making ice optional or using simple syrup rather than a sugar cube. Bartenders have been riffing on the Old Fashioned for years, it is one things that makes it all so fun!

Cheers

Re: Zaya Gran Reserva 12 Year Old Rum Review

dotw — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:55:05 -0000

opinionated, true Bacardi did have distilling operations in Puerto Rico starting in the 1930's. However, the company was based and produced Rum in Cuba until the Family/Company was forced to flee Cuba after the Revolution in 1959.

In the post we said "allegedly" about them making Havana Club at the old Bacardi Distillery. This is different than saying it was "definitely" made there. Upon farther in investigation it is Caney that is made. Not El Varadero as you stated. We will update that.

Finally, so you didn't like the review. I assure you, we taste every bottle we review.

It should last about a month. You can add a tablespoon of vodka to the finished syrup to extend the life.

@sfist you were asked not to review the food?!? If your staff is not trained and your food ready for a review, then how can you ask people to pay full price? I say half price until the staff is trained! If I am paying $6 for grilled cheese it had better not be still in testing mode.

curious why someone who reclines their seat on an airplane is an "idiot". They recline for a reason, no?

Glad to see that our supervisor, if you can call her that, could care less about transit in the city. I am sure she has never been on Muni EVER. She know all about Marin commuters because she is one.

Jimmy,

Please enlighten us as to where 420 came from.

Also, if you think this cocktail is stupid, please explain.

Cheers

Sergeant Jeff Quon should be fired. Not only did he misuse his pager, he did it while on duty to cheat on his wife. I am sure the "local" judge was a friend. He signed away his rights. Please fire this freeloading liar and take away his petition. He need to not steal anymore from the taxpayers.

Your right, we are at the tail end of the season. We can still get them here in CA. However, you can omit the garnish and enjoy the blood orange flavor of the x-rated fusion.
