About this restaurant

Great for creative cocktails
Charming
Good for special occasions

Bodega is the street level Tavern, that offers no frills cocktails in addition to draft beer and shots.

With a reservation, or if allowed admission from the Bartender upstairs, you can experience The Rest. It is a subterranean gem that looks like a bar that Hemingway would have built. Dark wood, taxidermy, old books and plenty of good whiskey. Perfect place for privacy and escaping the world for a minute... Or hours.

It’s hard to explain how incredible this place was. Every single dish and drink was fantastic, the service (Nicole) was warm and kind, the ambiance is dimly lit and romantic. HIGHLY recommended. Couldn’t have been a better date night.
