Take a step back into the 1960’s at one of the newest bars in the Stateline! 5BAR is a play on the words “dive bar”, but this place is not your typical dive bar.
Each cocktail will touch your five senses. Each month featured a new rotating menu of special drinks. For November, things got political with drinks such as The White House Russian and Absinth-Tea Ballot.
Holiday drinks graced the December menu which featured the “Holiday Spirits”. January brings a new menu full of hot cocktails to keep you warm during the chilly Midwest winter. This month’s cocktails include:
London Fog $5: New Amsterdam gin | Earl Grey tea infused with DaVinci Gourmet vanilla | hot water | cream cap | express orange oils
Hot Toddy $8: Four Roses bourbon | honey simple | lemon juice | hot water | aromatic bitters | cinnamon stick
Mo-Heat-O $8: Mount Gay rum | mint tea | lime juice | simple | fresh mint
Hibiscus Coffee $9: hibiscus simple | coffee | orange bitters | rum | orange peel
Vodka Hot Chocolate $7: vanilla vodka | chocolate paste | milk | cinnamon
Stop in to try any of these delicious drinks to warm up your soul! My personal favorite is the London Fog which gives off Dreamsicle vibes.
Oh, and the best part about this place? Well, watch the very end of the video below and meet Elf! The drinks are fantastic but Elf is the real reason why I stop in. Just don’t tell owners Derrick and Levi that!
