I've had a few of their hard seltzers over the years, and thought it was time to finally check out their location. I'm not entirely sure what I thought the atmosphere would be like (something relaxed and welcoming maybe?), but the spring break party vibe was truly unexpected. We visited mid-afternoon on a Saturday and it was busy, busy, busy. Like: line-out-the-door, people-throwing-jello-shots-to-one-another-from-across-the-room, music-so-loud-we-had-to-scream-our-order-at-the-bartender kind of busy. The bartender was unbelievably rude too; we asked if there was some kind of special event happening and they replied, "no, we're just that cool", then they took our order and walked away. I couldn't make this up if I tried: we stood there for close to ten minutes waiting for them to come back with our drinks (while other bartenders took care of other people). When they finally reappeared, they looked shocked to see us still standing there, quickly grabbed our drinks - sloshing them absolutely everywhere - and said, "sorry, I had to go help with an event and I forgot about you."
I think I like the product more out of a can than on draught. We found them very flat. We tried four different seltzers on this occasion: Argonaut (ginger and lemon; too acidic for us, we didn't finish it), Pine Rickey (lime and pine; very pleasant!), Kahiki (pineapple, mango, and lemongrass; again, very acidic), and Avondale (raspberry and kiwi; artificial candy-like flavor).
We REALLY liked the outdoor space (so much space, and so many varied and comfortable seating/standing options) and that it's dog-friendly; but - back to the inside space - why are the bathrooms so, so, so dark? Like, they're SO dark.
Anyway, we like their Alba (blackberry and sage hard seltzer); it's a fantastic option for the holidays as it compliments so many other flavors of the season. We'll continue to buy a four-pack of that (and maybe the Pine Rickey!) again from Bow Street, but will not be visiting this location again.
