Review: Noble Rot 2.0

April 8, 2009 by PDX Food Dude 57 Comments

Review: Teardrop Cocktail Lounge

Teardrop Lounge

July 2007. The mixed drink scene has changed quite a bit since this was written, but my overall feel about Teardrop Cocktail Lounge is unchanged.As I was doing research for this review in my father's old bar notebook, I came across a list of ingredients labeled "always have on hand". What especially interested me were incidentals like falernum, cassis, five types of … [Read more...] about Review: Teardrop Cocktail Lounge
