It’s hard to know where to start with this review, and maybe that’s why its taken a couple of weeks to get it started. But some places really make you feel accepted and heard and this one hit it in such way that it still feels warm.
We chose this place because they had been highlighting a menu for Dry January and we were immediately excited by that. The staff was absolutely incredible start to finish. The place makes you feel at home, the moment you walk in and you can even bring your dog! So it really is like home! We know this makes us weirdos but we were actually thrilled when they were out of some of their Dry January menu items because it made us feel like there was a demand for them, a place in the world for them, and this place was a place for that.
We happily noshed on cheeses and meats and tried every single AF drink they had. Now, for the cool part. Stateline is known for their incredible, fully leaded spirits. But they saw the reaction from their customers during dry January, their first as a distillery creating AF options, and went ahead and added two of those Dry January hits to their menu for folks to enjoy all year round. We look forward to drinking their “N/A "NEGRONI": Spirit-free London Dry “Gin”, Verjus Rouge, Spirit-free Aperitivo, Orange Bitters, Spices and ASTRAL PROJECTION (not pictured): Spirit-free Aquavit, Acid Adjusted Grapefruit, Peychaud’s Bitters” long into the future. We want to thank Stateline for creating an inclusive space, for hearing the demand for AF options and for providing the same experience to all of their customers, regardless of what’s in their glass. We so look forward to days on your patio with dogs lazing about while we enjoy, meats, cheeses and an incredible beverage of our choice. Thank you.
