Essay question: Why should I drink here? The brand-new, all-awesome Ravenous Pig takes the previous Cask & Larder location’s cozy confines and gives it the deluxe, dark-and-mysterious treatment. Myriad whiskeys, flowing draft wines and cocktails, impeccable house brews, even a beer engine – everything sister pub Cask & Larder did, the new RavPig does hungrier. A delectable mashup of C&L’s and Ravenous Pig’s menus means you get the best of both boozy, meaty worlds.
