A long list, and someone behind the bar who knows it.

Tequila is the reason this room has a second name. The list runs from blanco through extra añejo and out into mezcal, and nobody is going to make you feel foolish for asking where to start.

  1. Blanco

    Plata

    Unaged, or under two months

    Straight out of the still. Pepper, citrus and cooked agave, with nothing in the way. The honest test of a distillery.

  2. Reposado

    Rested

    Two months to a year in oak

    Long enough in barrel to round the edges, short enough that the agave still leads. The house pour for most people most nights.

  3. Añejo

    Aged

    One to three years in oak

    Vanilla, caramel and dried fruit come forward. Drinks closer to a whiskey and rewards being left alone in a glass.

  4. Extra Añejo

    Extra aged

    Over three years in oak

    The category only exists since 2006. Dark, slow and priced accordingly. Order it neat or not at all.

  5. Mezcal

    Varies by maker

    Not tequila, and not trying to be. Agave roasted in earth pits, which is where the smoke comes from. Usually made in far smaller batches.

Agave on the cocktail list

Everything here is built on tequila or mezcal.

Best way to work through a list this long is slowly.
