Went to craft last night. We almost canceled the reservation due to some poor reviews here and from one of our friends. I am quite glad we went. I’ll go over the meal in a minute, but in case you only read this far you...

Great books on tail making.

the Diamond isn’t its tails (which are fantastic – old-school, well crafted and perfectionist), the room (which is laid-back and chill) or its food (Asian street food – I haven’t had food here since this...

"The Craft of the tail" by Dale DeGroff fits what you’re looking for. A beautiful book, with nice pictures, tail history, classic tails as well some more trendy ones. “The Joy of Mixology” by Gary Regan is more...

I’m looking recommendations for a bar/lounge/restaurant (preferably French Quarter or CBD, but open to Garden Dist/Uptown as well) for really great, well crafted tails. Ideally this would be a place to peacefully enjoy said...

Dale DeGroff’s Craft of the tail is very nice. Very much a glossy photo book if you get your inspiration visualy. I also like Gary Regan’s Joy of Mixology. This is a less exciting format but a great book that has good...

, but went with his enthusiasm. It was the best sidecar I’ve ever had. My only gripe is that there were so few tails on the list. Isn’t it called craft “bar” after all? Nice wine selection, though....

I was at a Boston craft tail bar recently, enjoying some interesting variation on an Aviation (Cherry Heering, anyone?), surrounded by idiots drinking vodka-sodas. I went home, looked at the nip of Grey Goose that had been...

Well, you have much better options than in the 70’s. I suggest you have a tail at any of these places first: W Hotel, Old Town Bar, Grammercy Tavern, Craft, Craft Bar; from there, go to dinner at Devi or your favorite place...

Ian Ward at Whisk 'n Ladle in La Jolla hand crafts his mixers and make a very good tail. Atmosphere is not at all speak easy, but the drinks are well made. FWIW he was named bar tender of the year in city beat magazine.

friends had already checked on his iPhone about the possibility of a later reservation at Craft. We told the server to cancel the drink order for our friends and we’d be leaving, just to bring us the check for the two...

A close girl friend and I have a whole day planned for this Saturday sans hubbies and kids. We are starting at a sample sale, spending the afteroon at Crafts at the Castle and then we are looking for a relaxed, leisurely place to...

tail craft seriously, the latter is a modest hole-in-the-wall with awesome Tuscan cuisine (though they go farther afield on pastas). If money is no object, the rather overpriced Sorellina in the Back Bay might do the job: good...

I’m looking for places that really place an emphasis on their tails—using fresh juices, for example, as well as stocking things like Maraschino liqueur and orange bitters, and with bartenders learned in crafting...

Are there any fine bars/restaurants with a real tail program in Westchester? Mixologists crafting fine libations with care? Places along the lines of NYC places like PDT, Death & Co, Pegu Club, Little Branch, Angel Share, etc....
