Essay question: Why should I drink here? Unassuming new Ivanhoe Village joint from the owners of the nearby Savoy combines the best of both worlds: well-stocked package store (perfect for the less-than-social) and casual, cozy cocktail bar. Though there is beer and wine available, the spotlight is on a creative menu of craft cocktails that rotates weekly. We particularly enjoyed Professor Plum’s Guilty Conscience and the Whitetail. The syrups are made in-house, the juices are fresh and the bartenders are helpful and friendly.
