"Twas a woman who drove me to drink. I never had the courtesy to thank her." – W.C. Fields
Burgers like the ones that pack the house each Wednesday night at Maggie's are way beyond the ordinary. What Chef Wilson & Company craft to order and commit to the plate has as much in common with the average fast food product as a Ferrari does with a Toyota Camry. They both may be automobiles, but the similarities end there. The hamburger is the classic American food, and every Maggie's burger is an extravagant homage to that classic. So why wash it down with something . . . ordinary?
There are two kinds of bars in this world: one kind pours booze while the other sort makes cocktails. The Old Bull Tavern makes cocktails. There's a sense of a bygone era of elegance about the place in general and the bar in particular. It's evident in the bar menu, where the short list of classic beverages includes old stalwarts like the Cosmopolitan and the Sazerac, with the drink's origin referenced beneath the ingredients.
who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.” - Frank Sinatra
I used to do TV news in Las Vegas (no, really) and around this time each year a meteorologist colleague of mine would hit the air and say something like, “Our forecast: Hot. Dry. Seek shelter or die. Our next forecast will be in October.” He wasn’t far off the mark. Indeed, forecasting the weather in a place like Vegas is a lot like falling off a log most of the time. Here, it’s a bit more complicated – we get to reason with the hurricane season. But the general approach is the same once the heat index approaches that of the hinges to the gates of hell: seek shelter. And as anyone familiar with this column knows, our preferred shelter comes with cocktails and bar snacks.Site Designed and Maintained by Vision Technology Management
