It is about the entire ambiance and the atmosphere. I always judge how serious a place takes their cocktails by the quality of their ice. Their ice is crystal clear and perfect. It’s a place where they really the art of making a drink.

I really like Fort Defiance. They’ve got a terrific selection of brown waters and some really interesting cocktails.
You get a burger and bourbon, it’s the best. The guys there really take the cocktails seriously. I’m not a cocktail drinker, but the selection of liquors there is amazing and they really do believe in the experience.

It’s one of those places where it feels, to me, like Cheers. It’s the right amount of food, the right cocktails, and great ambience. It’s the whole thing that comes together, it’s wonderful.
