First Stop: Pour House (Q & 19th)
After work cocktails arrived to mixed reviews. We ordered
adventurously and couldn’t really decide how we felt about them. It was the
cocktail equivalent of “I love you but I’m not in love with you.”
Glenfiddich 12 Year Scotch, House Made Fig Jelly, Simple
Syrup, Squeezed Lemon, Angostura Bitters
I’d order it again if I sat at the bar and the bartender
didn’t look at me funny when I asked for it with “less lemon, more fig.”
I did like my friend’s drink more than mine. (Don’t you hate when that happens?!)
"Smoked Apple"
Red Breast Irish Whiskey, House Made Smoked Apple Butter,
Apple Liqueur, Squeezed Lemon, Simple Syrup, Topped w/Wheat Beer
Second Stop: Fat Face Café (19th & R)
Just down the block we stroll through vintage clothing shop Bows & Arrows, past the art class sketching live costumed models (precious), to the adorable cafe in the back with fantastic gourmet noshes.
To start:
White Peach Sangria - described as "Sweet & Flashy" on the menu, which I love
Roasted Chipotle &
Honey Almonds
Both refreshing and delightful.
A perfect summer supper:
Sweet Corn Soup with a pressed Cubano
“Sammich” – Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Swiss, Fermented Pickles, and I ordered
it with the optional pineapple, which I recommend! A delicious version of one
of my favorite sandwiches on the planet.
As a rule I almost always save room for dessert but tonight, I just couldn’t do it. I’m drooling just thinking about the flavors now though so I will be back.
The Kaffir Lime + Avocado has my name on it.
Is the Pour House a new spot?
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try these two establishments......except, I ALWAYS have room for dessert!
ReplyDeletePour House is new. It's in the old Whiskey Wild building by the train tracks. It's all about the drinks, I wouldn't order the food. There is a food truck that parks out front on busy nights though so that's probably great! It wasn't open when I was there so you'll hear back about that later. The big thing about Pour House is that they have taps at the tables, which is awesome. I have very little interest in beer though, so I'll leave that to Claire to blog about... :)
ReplyDeleteI finally tasted one of Fat Face's incredible popsicles today! They were at the Davis Farmer's Market and I tried the Apricot Lavender, delicious! I'm hooked. They were also cooking up breakfast sandwiches and their BLT was one of the best I've ever had!
