The night the jukebox caught fire
Saturday, 12:40 AM. Someone plays the same power ballad for the fourth time and the jukebox decides it's had enough. Smoke. Silence. Then the whole bar starts singing it anyway. Best night we've had all year.

Wild nights, loyal regulars, recipes, and the stuff only bartenders see.

Lake Effect
2 oz mezcal · 1 oz fresh grapefruit · 0.5 oz lime · 0.5 oz agave · pinch of sea salt. Shake hard, strain over one big cube. Tastes like the first cold night of the year.
Lake Effect
Locked in at Afterglow every Fri + Sat through New Year's. Pull up, say hi, ask for the off-menu one.
A regular's last order
Mr. Harold ordered the same Old Fashioned every Thursday for six years. Last week his daughter came in, sat in his seat, and ordered it for him. We kept the stool empty the rest of the night.
House rule: no photos of guests without their OK, and no shaming anyone for a rough night.
