Kelly O'Hare is our new Bar Manager. He started about a month ago, recommended to us by Bill Norris. A native Houstonian and six year veteran of The Edendale in Los Angeles, Kelly is the real deal. Every drink he's made me is sick. He's also guest-centric, which is as important as his ability to mix, complementing the restaurant perfectly.

Already familiar Boggy Creek Farms, Kelly infused their white figs into Rittenhouse Rye to make this intepretation of the Old Fashioned. The cocktail also features his thyme simple syrup, muddled orange and brandied cherry with a dash of Bitter Truth Decanter bitters (purchased from the Austin Wine Merchant). Nice!
