What can you say other than this is a legendary Watering Hole in the St Regis Hotel that serves probably the best Bloody Mary in the entire civilized world. We spent New Years Eve early evening there and enjoyed several cocktails as well as very good sandwiches at the bar. It's an experience to go and while it is on the higher side for food and drink in New York it's well worth it

Shout out to the nice man who let me and my two friends in yesterday, a little before opening time! It was the kindest gesture anyone has ever for me in this great city! To just sit at the bar for an hour and take in these magnificent surroundings is an experience I will NEVER forget. Thank you again King Cole Bar team members! You are as ICONIC and exceptional as this bar itself!

Our first time coming to NYC and we stopped over at the bar because we wanted mocktails to drink for my friend’s birthday. We really appreciated George for his kindness and making our trip even more special, it really made our whole trip! 😊

Great drinks, great atmosphere. Place fills up pretty early on Saturdays. Also, they were very gracious to let me have a table as a party of one while there was a line outside. They did not push me off the table.

Delicious cocktails in a beautiful setting. Usually busy on the weekdays around 5 but not impossible to find a seat (you can’t reserve in advance). Loved the complimentary snacks and the red snappers/bloody Mary’s are a must try.

We were treated like royalty. Our waiter George treated us like we were guests in his own home. This place not only has the best service, but it also has the best red wine list. Try the Duckhorn Merlot, it is absolutely delicious.

Lovely atmosphere, with very attentive and discreet staff. There is no need for elegant dressing, but if you are dressed up it would look the part. We had espresso matrinis which were absolute perfection. The right amount of coffee and liquor buzz I could have asked for. Nibbles are great too.

Classic hotel cocktail bar at the St Regis. The birthplace of the Bloody Mary. If you want classic cocktails made well this is the place to come. Order yourself a Manhattan, up and sit, sip and admire the famous mural behind the bar. The bar opens at 4pm and you might have to line up to get in so come early to avoid disappointment.

What an amazing place to go for before or after dinner drinks or and lite bites. Been coming here for years, it never disappoints. Delicious cocktails and great service!

J
Jesse Winters

Came here for drinks and food around 10pm. I only learned about the evening (formal) dress code later on, but am pleased to say we were treated well even though we were both wearing jeans. Dishes and drinks are pricey for the quality, but definitely worth it for the ambiance. The caviar and pommes frites was a terrific, the combination of flavors worked very well (although the fries themselves were entirely unremarkable). Would definitely recommend for those who enjoy historic bars.

Awesome Bar not noisy no tvs perfect for dates. Bar tender was super nice guy customized a drink according to my taste! Inexpensive and real class to it. Looking for a bloody marry? why not go to the place where they invented it and taste the real thing! I really was happy with my experience there and would definitely recommend to others!

Old (elegant) school bar with great martinis and nice appetizers- we had shrimp cocktail- calamari- cheeseboard- flatbread w/ burata- tuna tartare. All generous and delicious. The service always there. The people watching A+ not for the budget minded!!! But one of the top NYC old time favorites- plus the Famous Parrish painting of Old King Cole makes the atmosphere classic.

A NYC classic, institution, for sure. Bar seating in particular. Table seating area is getting increasingly jammed. The Red Snapper cocktail is the classic. Bar snacks were a bit odd and bowls were huge, maybe for sharing with 4 persons. Bill, bartender, was a total rock star.........

I own a boutique matchmaking company in NYC and sometimes take my clients out to King Cole. - we usually have drinks at the bar. First of all - great atmosphere, great crowd and the staff is humorous - something I really appreciate! Thanks for great experience and creating great atmosphere for me and my clients.

Just stopped in to meet a friend. Coffee was $16 but wasn't anything special. Service was fairly good but wasn't as attentive as I would have expected. It is possible they were giving space, but when we were done, we had to go up to pay. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and it was clean.

Aparantly, the first Boody Mary cocktail was made here. I am not fun of Bloody Mary, I had to get one, and it was good a bit too spicy for my taste. We ordered a couple of appetizers, and they were good. Very elegant bar at St. Regis hotel. You have to make reservations in advance. It's busy even when at 4 pm on a weekday.

🍸 The King Cole exists to meet old friends for a proper cocktail in the most spectacular mode possible, expensive, a bit overly hyped and still worth it. This is what New York is about. They make claim to have invented the Bloody Mary which I ordered and found to be OK, but as a lover of cocktail history it was nice to see where they came from. I definitely recommend this as a rendezvous point. And slightly prefer sitting at the bar to admire the quirky mural depicting John Jacob Astor.

M
Mitsi Herrera

Enjoyed as always! Of our many visits to King Cole Bar, this is first time we had wait to get in! It was like being in line to ride the first car on a rollercoaster, but in the end you get the privilege of buying $27 drinks (yes, the price has increased from $22, but $17 is going rate for fancy cocktails nearby. You are paying for the atmosphere and mural. The bar nuts continue to rock but now lack the little sourdough slices.) It was Christmastime in NYC and I realized later that many people make an annual pilgrimage this time of year, and it was closed March 2020 to August 2021 (thanks Covid). The service and quality of cocktails remain impeccable. One sour note: while waiting, a foursome seemed to cut ahead (not wearing masks) and they managed to get seated. We could only guess that they were rich and rude hotel guests who felt entitled, and the hard working staff did their best to hold the line and not give away our table while accommodating the foursome. Keep the light on King Cole Bar - we enjoyed our visit and will be back again.

If you're looking for a sophisticated and refreshing drink, then "The Business" at the King Cole Bar is definitely worth a try. Made with Bombay Gin, lime, and honey, this cocktail is a perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The presentation of the drink is just as pleasing as its taste. The King Cole Bar, located in the St. Regis Hotel, is a luxurious and elegant setting that exudes an old-world charm. The bar features classic wooden decor, soft lighting, and comfortable seating that creates a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy your drink. The honey adds a smooth sweetness that perfectly complements the tangy lime juice and the floral notes of the gin, mixed to perfection by the bartender. Overall, if you're in the mood for a refined cocktail in a sophisticated setting, The Business at King Cole Bar is an excellent choice.

The King Cole Bar is like no other in NYC. The birthplace of the Bloody Mary in the United States. Great cocktails, good food, amazing service surrounded by a festive atmosphere.

First time back here since they reopened after "enhancements" and the bar which was packed. Was there to catch up with some friends who I haven't seen in months and we all work nearby so this was a perfect place to go. We sat right outside of the main bar and the service was quick. Sure the drinks are pricey but it's the St. Regis, so that's to be expected. However, we were each given a glass of complementary champagne which was a nice touch and made the evening totally worth it. Can't wait to go back and hopefully we'll get seats in the main bar area.

A beautifully decorated bar. Our drinks were very good. We enjoy this bar for drinks and the atmosphere. They served us mixed nuts with our cocktails. We had to queue up but we don't mind. You have to show your vaxx card to enter. Nat King Cole bar is located at Two E. 55th St. New York City in the St. Regis

Great place to celebrate special occasions! It’s busy on weekends but worth the wait if you don’t have a reservation.

King Cole Bar is one of those classic New York spots that still feels glamorous without trying too hard. If you come post-theater, expect a line — consider it part of the ambiance. And honestly, it’s worth waiting; the experience begins the moment you decide to linger. Inside, the vibe is warm and moody, with low, amber-toned lighting that makes everyone look about 20% more interesting. It’s got that intimate, cinematic quality where you half-expect a noir detective to slide into the seat next to you. Cocktails are excellent, the kind you can confidently order while hosting friends, colleagues, or anyone you want to subtly impress. It’s a perfect place for conversation, for lingering, for pretending you live in a more stylish version of your life. A true New York classic — and one that still knows exactly what it’s doing.

Stopped by King Cole Bar with my friend for a night cap earlier this week and was impressed by the ambiance, crowd and amazing craft cocktails. The bartender whipped me up the perfect extra dirty martini with a gin I wish I had written down it mixed so well. We ended up chatting up our neighbors at the bar and had a great night overall. Would definitely stop back by. A little tricky getting in with my wheelchair but we figured it out in the end.

Every time I'm in New York, I come here at least once. The service and, above all, the bartenders are fantastic. Friendly and competent. There is an incredible selection, as you would expect from a bar of this class. Of course, there are countless variations of the Bloody Mary. The atmosphere is super cozy. However, you usually have to wait quite a long time and stand in line to get a seat.

I finally visited the legendary King Cole Bar at The St. Regis, the birthplace of the Bloody Mary, and it lived up to its reputation. Tucked inside the beautiful St. Regis Hotel, this iconic bar opens at 4 PM, and it’s best to arrive early if you want to secure a seat it’s a popular spot for both drinks and light bites. I ordered the Meze Plate, the classic Bloody Mary, and an Espresso Martini. Everything was excellent beautifully presented and perfectly balanced. The service was attentive and polished, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. The bar itself has a timeless elegance, with an atmosphere that blends old New York glamour and modern comfort. A must-visit if you want a classic cocktail experience in Manhattan.

FANTASTIC! I'm a travel writer (National Geographic, Washington Post, etc.) and I've been all over the world. For my birthday, I took several family members here for drinks to celebrate. The service was IMPECCABLE. The servers went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. They were warm and welcoming. This is not a stuffy bar with pretentious servers. We truly had a great time! Would come back.

This is a historic bar in the St. Regis Hotel. My choice here is martinis, they make a good one. You may have to wait, the bar is very popular and that means it is hard to get a good seat if you're a group. The place is iconic so you have to go here at least once and splurge.

J
Joseph NewYork

Beautiful bar inside the St. Regis Hotel. Expensive is the Important Thing to Know. Don't be surprised if your bill is $75 for a couple to enjoy two drinks each. Very comfortable seats. Too few roving waiters. Life is slow here, relax and calm down.

T
Tim Tankard

Come for the mural and ambience. Keep it upscale and classy if you're not a guest or you may be turned away. High prices befitting its pedigree. Main bar is tight in space but that glorious Parrish mural, with its famously flatulent monarch, is dazzling. Protip; the signature "Red Snapper" may be an important part of American bar history but it is bland bland bland.

Great drinks and atmosphere. Drink selection is well curated, though a bit on the expensive side, even for the area. Beers at $12 and whiskey starting over $20. Great cocktails though, not everyone can make a good Rusty Nail. Friend got a dirty martini and they had bleu cheese stuffed olives available. More 4.5 stars than 4, but not enough to get a 5.

Glenna D. Davis

This was the perfect restaurant for us to go and grab a casual dinner in our Jean's. It's an King Cole Bar but they have a nice safe menu with good eats at reasonable prices. My fiance' and I shared the New York strip dinner. The steak did come over cooked but we didn't complain and adjusted. It came with a full plate of veggies and potatoes.

S
Seamus

Atmosphere and service is great; everyone was friendly. Supposedly they invented the bloody mary here. I can confirm they make a good one but at $32 I don't think it's worth the cost.

Z
Zoe Taylor

Really fun concept of a bar that for some weird reason always falls short. The music they play makes no sense and doesn’t add to the ambience. There’s no sense of NYC pride or history. There are so many elements that could’ve been capitalized but were overlooked in the pursuit of the ever-bland “international chic” aesthetic. Start by changing the music.

P
Philip Koch

I had one drink in the restaurant right next to the King Cole bar. It's an elegant place. The Saint Regis Hotel was Elizabeth Taylor's favorite hotel to stay in when she was married to Richard burton. I only went there because it was her birthday on monday. Very professional wait staff

A historical must visit bar with glamorous ambiance, expensive cocktails ($30+) and famous King Cole mural. The clientele is upper class tourists, midtown business crowd and beautiful ladies. The service is attentive and prompt, you get nuts and beet chips with your drinks. We got seated after 5 min wait around 6pm on Tuesday night, then it got very busy, a line formed but tables started to clear up around 7pm.

A Pleasant Time for Tea As the big birthday travel continues, I jetted off to New York City for a whirlwind two-day fun trip of discovery. As a belated birthday gift, my sister treated me to afternoon tea at the St. Regis. She ordered the Lady Astor’s Tea, among others listed. It is said that Lady Caroline Astor reigned as the social leader of the 1890’s during what was known as the Gilded Age. If you were lucky enough to be a part of her group, “The 400” also known as “The Patriarchs,” you were considered what she called, “The Old New York.” The following are my thoughts of this pleasant experience. Pros: We were seated promptly but it took our server at least ten minutes to acknowledge us prior to taking our order. The presentation of the meal was pleasing with a sense that there was plenty to eat. I tried the tropical oolong tea. It’s light fruity flavor did not disappoint. We were able to substitute the Scottish smoked salmon for more egg salad sandwiches which turned out to be very light and tasty. With the raisin and traditional scones, I was delighted to find that double Devonshire cream and lemon curd were served. My sister loved the fruit preserve that accompanied our meal. Regarding the sweets, my favorites were the Lemon tartelette with toasted meringue and Dark chocolate mousse presented in edible cups. The harpist added a refined, soft, musical background giving the experience more pleasure. Cons: I was disappointed that our server was not more attentive. In most tea rooms that I’ve attended, the hostess would explain the items that are presented on the tray to prepare you for your meal. Our server just placed the items on the table and off he went. Twice he stopped by after long intervals to see if we needed anything. By that time, it was too late because another server, Kenny, had already cared for our needs of more water for the tea and removal of dirty plates. It just felt like our server was there because he had to and couldn’t wait to leave. The area is one for dining and not just for afternoon tea. Others were having lunch which distracted the mood of “afternoon tea.” Overall: I would still suggest the St Regis for tea for it’s food. You are sure to leave full and satisfied.

An icon bar that you just need to pay a visit if you are in the area and have seen the movie The devil wears Prada or Gossip Girl! We had to wait for a while to get a spot. The drinks were great and the bartendera very knowledgable. Apparently very popular doe dates...

The atmosphere was amazing, the cocktails were good (Jazz me blues & Best Address) but missing water with our order. We got the fig jam and prosciutto pizza and two cocktails, the staff was also kind enough to gift us a coaster as we were celebrating a special occasion.

One of the most enchanting bars in the city but it's a hit or miss during the even busier holiday season. Our table had crumbs and it was sticky, service was spotty. Having said that, being at the bar was spectacular as always! Gotta visit at least once!

A lovely spot with incredible service and darn good cocktails. If you're into sweet drinks served in a martini glass, try the tasty Blue Jazz. I had a champagne-based cocktail—can’t recall the name—but it was absolutely perfect. Be warned, it's pricey. Our two cocktails cost over $100! We had planned to eat here as well, but... well, see below for why we didn’t. I wish I could give it five stars, but I just can’t. The music was so loud we couldn’t carry on a normal conversation. Everyone around us was yelling just to be heard, and I overheard several people complaining about the volume. Someone even asked the bartender to turn it down, but the response (if I heard correctly) was that management was trying to attract a younger crowd. It’s a real shame, because the last time I visited a few years ago, it was such an enjoyable experience. I couldn’t wait to bring my husband back—but sadly, this visit didn’t live up to the memory.

We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks, specifically the "Jazz me Blues" and the "Best Address." Both cocktails were expertly crafted, however, the presentation could have been slightly enhanced. The accompanying snacks were a delightful touch, with the beetroot chips being a particular standout.

King Cole Bar was a really cool spot to grab a drink while walking around and taking in the Christmas environment on a chilly December evening. Be prepared to wait in the lobby outside the bar - there is limited seating and you are not allowed to crowd the bar and wait for a table. Drinks were classics which is what I expected and the food was surprisingly good. Prices were a bit steep, but I suppose you're paying for the vibes. Would come back if I had the chance.

Simon Markowski

Afternoon is very tasty here. Nice mix of sweet and savory. The clotted cream, jam, and lemon curd with the scones are very tasty and well presented. Only detraction from the experience was the service. The waiters/waitresses constantly disappeared and was not around to provide extra hot water for the tea.

W
William Bundy

I like the environment. However, the place tends to be crowded at happy hour time. The waitstaff do not have the same level of service I have experienced at other bars associated with the St Regis brand. There may be some element that they under staff this element of their operations. For drinks - I like the Old King Cole which is essentially a gin martini with some tweaks. Definitely try the Porcini Popcorn. It is pricey at $12 for popcorn, but worth it.

S
Sunny Watson

Unfortunately we were disappointed this time. Service was great as always, but the quality of the cocktails has gone downhill quite a bit. We used to love coming here. Apparently they don’t serve luxardo cherries anymore for an old fashioned, and for $27, you’d expect a little more than a cheap maraschino. Even the gin and tonic tasted like a cheap sports bar. Vibe is great, it’s beautiful, but you just sort of look for something more here.

D
David Biesack

Probably great for locals, deal makers. But this iconic bar fails to live up to its reputation. Service was spotty at best, not snooty but far from impeccable. The mixed drinks were not what one member of our party expected. The atmosphere was pleasant and worth stopping in for.

Michael Trinkle

Good service, less than sub-par cocktails. This is absolutely a destination if you want to tick off that box for possible birthplace of Bloody Mary. Used to be very upscale service and very good cocktails but those days are gone. A friend and I first ordered Old Fashion and Aviation. Old fashion came with muddled neon pink cherries and Aviation was Aviation gin with lemon twist….this is a bartender who obviously has no clue. Muddling cherries was an early 90s thing when the bourbon was so bad, you had to mask it with sugar. Aviation is a gin based cocktail with crème de violet, lemon juice and maraschino liqueur, which if done right comes out purple. We each had couple more drinks but it was disappointing. My New York sour came out a pink mess with those damn neon cherries. Proper New York Sour is dry shaken lemon juice, bourbon, simple syrup and egg whites followed by shaking with ice, strained into glass and then you gently pour red wine over the top using the back of the spoon so that the drink has two layers. When an amateur like me can do better than a pro, that place as a cocktail destination is done.

D
Dave Conner

Nice midtown Manhattan feel, great location comfortable, fancy - plus good service. Have to love it right? Well, generally yes… but we needed the restorative power of a Bloody Mary to replenish ourselves and went there strictly due to their reputation for that drink in particular. In short, though expensive, I did not care for their Bloody Mary. Even after the second one. Maybe the Negronis, old Fashioneds, and Martinis are fine- the 3 stars apply specically to the Bloody Mary’s we had that day.

The decor odds fab but it is very loud in the bar. We had the cheese platter and meatballs and both were excellent! I ordered a Paper Plane and it was just ok. The service was terrible for a bar of this level. One server for the whole room and we had to flag him down for everything. We are staying in the hotel for 4 nights but will not be back here flower drinks.

The bar inside is so beautiful and the lounge is great too if you want more space and seating. We came here to try the Bloody Mary and I loved how many you could try. We got the most popular one but I want to go back to try more. The bar snacks were so good too. It would have been a wonderful experience but the service was absolutely horrible. No one checked on us and if I needed something I had to keep getting up to ask.

M
Maria Cuartero

The bar and ambience are great given the historical background but the servers were very disrespectful, one of them even told me “is this your first time at a bar?”. I am pretty horrified, its elegant atmosphere wasn't quite worth the pricey drinks and service.

P
Peter Braun

Outrageously priced. Highlights include the $13 water consisting of a blend of three bottled waters, the $90 espresso martini, and the $70 glass of Veuve (one can find a full bottle of the same for less than that). Nice ambience but prices are nonsensical.

Eh. Other than the authentic Maxfield Parrish painting, found this place not all that memorable or special. It's small, cramp. Ordered shrimp cocktail that contained 5 or 6 frozen then thawed pinky-sized shrimp that was priced at $42. I mean, give me a break.

Just not impressed. Came here for a drink, and it was just ‘meh’. Granted - the mural is pretty impressive, unfortunately neither the drinks nor the bar are. Ordered a Martini - their selection of gin was decidedly mid-range (Hendrik’s, Bombay Saphire, Tanqueray). Martini was ok, but would have expected better choice of gin. My wife had a whisky sour, which we had to send back - as mentioned by previous reviewers it was (unfortunately) a joke: not made with egg white, the cherry was not a Mascherano cherry, but instead a cheap neon-pink candied cherry, the drink was served in a WINE GLASS and on a bunch of small ice cubes (instead of a one large one). Will not be returning.

Bar has a nice layout / atmosphere, drinks substandard and overpriced (min 30 dollars for an aperol spritz and up to 50 dollars for a negroni). The staff aren’t great; loud, unprofessional, distracted, sitting down with customers in the bar for long periods, it was all a bit bazar. Several occasions on the space of a couple of hours staff allowed some customers to skip the queue when they knew them, no reservations.

The st Regis more like the st regret. This bar has gone down hill especially after a remodel supposedly brining back charm and luster. It started out with our party of 4 getting shoved into a table for two when plenty of tables for 4 were open. Next my partner was served the completely wrong drink and then the waiter saying it’s because the person who makes it normally was out. The manhattans came with defrosted cherries rathe than cocktail cherries, the stem ware was not crystal but cheap glass, and the napkins were cheap and left white fuzz on any clothes used. This feels like a money grab for tourists. Then to top off our visit they slammed the kitchen door into him as we were leaving without apologies. At 60 bucks a drink a little better service and drinks made well would have been appreciated. If I can sum it up please avoid.

We couldn't wait to see the re do-it's beautiful BUT.... a 35 martini ordered with the dirty ice in the side was missing the ice (we watched it get thrown out). We were then just given a glass with ice. We also spent the entire time listening to the bartender complain about how the bar is not ready to open. They are missing lighting and refrigeration and apparently there is also a problem with the snacks. When you pay 85 for two drinks, you deinaty don't want to hear about how the place sucks from the employees. I say, wait until the kinks are out.

This place is incredibly overpriced. $70 for a glass of Veuve. $60 for an espresso martini. $23 for a glass of Mionetto prosecco?! Just no. You can get two bottles of Veuve for that price once you calculate tax and tip. In no world are the drinks worth that.

My friends like to go here every year on New Years Day for a drink and I just don't understand why. The decor is nice and the staff is pleasant but the drinks are outrageously overpriced. Seriously, there are THOUSANDS of bars in NYC where you can hang out with friends, get the exact same beverages and they don't rip you off. At these prices, they should have someone standing behind you giving you a massage. Yes, I still go here because my friends insist on it but I never order anything. If you have more money than brains, enjoy!

Extremely disappointed - supposed to be this iconic NY bar, but it was anything but. I sat at the bar. Bartenders were absolutely uncaring and looked like they would rather be anywhere else but there. Ordered “Red Snapper” - this was poured from what looked like a premixed gallon jug and shoved into my face. $30 please.

My partner and I visited the King Cole since it’s the birthplace of the Bloody Mary cocktail. The Bloody Mary and the Jacob's Jewel we ordered were very poorly mixed, and very expensive. The chairs were comfy and the crowd was weird.

Beautiful bar, terrible service and worst espresso martini. The espresso is not fresh it comes from a pot that’s been sitting at the bar, they use Kaluha, and the bartender put his unwashed hands into the beans and put them into the martini shakers and shook everything together. We paid $78 for two drinks and only took 2 sips. We literally walked out. Had very high expectations for the St Regis, definitely disappointed.

Absolute rip off and borderline fraudulent. Not only are the drinks expensive but our waiter delivered a check omitting the service charge, only to charge it after we had tipped… thus effectively doubling the tip. Completely unacceptable.

The drinks were just okay I’ve had significantly better at many other places in the city. The atmosphere felt stuffy, and the staff’s attitude was surprisingly rude. The woman working the front desk Of the bar, in particular, was unprofessional and dismissive and obnoxiously rude. Overall, it was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a five-star hotel disappointing and demeaning the manger while listened to the complaints did nothing to rectify whatsoever

Very nice bar but the waiter named George was absolutely terrible. Would never go back or recommend.

I visited the bar at the The St. Regis New York on Valentine’s Day and was very disappointed. We waited nearly 40 minutes without anyone taking our order, and no staff acknowledged us. For a five-star hotel, the service was unacceptable and quite embarrassing for such a special occasion.

Atmosphere was B+ at best, not worth the visit- wouldn’t go back as the server was rude he tried to memorize the order and couldn’t get it right over and over. Drinks and the Food menu was ok- WAY OVER PRICED you’re paying for the atmosphere. I live in LA and just expected a higher quality meal in a Regis Hotel…. as I rave about the Four Season Beverly Hills. I left a tip as no one should have to come to work for free. Trust me when I say- Service was below PAR….

Awful service for the price. Paid 36 USD for an espresso Martini, waiter didn't bring water or snacks, poured the wrong alcohol and didn't ask for preferences. The actual cocktail was dreadful. Low quality Beefeater gin in too much quantity, low quality kaluha and filter coffee.. Not even an espresso or proper gin. Don't waste your money on drinks. The painting and atmosphere is cool but awful for drinks.

While the atmosphere is nice, it is nothing special compared to many other bars nearby. What is shocking are the drinks, each insanely priced for cheap liquor. Beer pours are $15 for 12oz cans. Do not recommend the Jazz Me Blues, which tasted like Smirnoff blue and white, if you’re a fan of cough syrup. Lastly, Airedale’s field was extremely watered down, containing less alcohol than the 12oz beer before it.
