Bow-tied bartenders in suspenders mix vintage and prohibition-era drinks like sazeracs and brambles alongside delicious house creations. Order a Moscow Mule and take in the atmosphere. Read more

Great selection of cocktails and cool decor. Hard to fit through the young college kid crowd on a weekend night. Otherwise, try one of the 5 mules!

Wednesday night is jazz night, complete with a stand up bass by the bathtub. Best time to come for a chill evening out.

Ask what cocktails they're trying out . . . you'll sample something delightful and get to share in their true love of mixology.

Come to The Stagger Inn. Mandarin Hide's outside bar. Open Tuesday nights. Walk thru the alley on 3rd St. In between Burrito Border and Cigar Bar.

If you get a chance after about 11pm, snake through the hallway of people here to see if you can make it through.

To get a bronze mug you need to say this special password to the bartender: "How now brown cow. I am Ron Burgundy?"
