February! 28 Days Greater.

See ya next year Haunted Holidays!

After months of enjoying the magical glow of Christmas lights and looming skeletons we reset the space for February 2026.   Fret not, our gremlins will continue swing from the chandeliers.

Considering a décor vacuum, we invited Logan Skinner to adorn our old wood walls with his linocut prints.  Check him out on Instagram @Ashtraylinocut . Enjoy pondering the sacred meaning of his work like he would, with fine tasting libation…

Bourbon!

We introduced the latest Pinhook True Small Batch Cask Strength Bourbon 2025 Release a little while ago.  If you haven’t tried it yet you’re missing out!   Personally, I think it’s one of the best barrel blends we’ve done in collaboration with our sister spot, Gioia and The Owl Shop.  Pop in for a pour or take a bottle home.  Availability is limited.

And in other news

The upcoming cocktail list will be an experiment in synesthesia. A neurological phenomona that blends the five senses.  Wiki on that HERE.  We dive into tasting tints and so created a very colorful lineup of new drinks.  Imagine a brilliant bouquet on a tray presented at your table with each color offering playful and flavorful taste profiles.

Other new menu items include a bolstered 0% alcohol options. This includes a versatile house made alcohol free “spirit” list with Negroni, Americano, and Daiquiris.  New N/A IPA and Lager are available and our latest tasty treasure, local New Haven Gorilla Lemonades!

Well, we offer 75% of all that.  No Prix Fixe here but we do offer sharable snacks and tea lights.

No reservations but it’s always a good idea to let us know if you have more than a party of five looking for seats.  Give me call.  Let’s hang out.

I mean that.  Let’s hang out.  We are so excited to share with you some magic. Hope to see you soon!
