At Erlands Mat and Cocktail Bar you can take a step back into classier days and feel as though you are in the Golden Age of Hollywood. Everything from the well dressed staff to the custom cocktails sends you into a different time and gives you the feeling of sophistication you just can’t get at your regular neighborhood bar.
While many restaurants and bars focus on finding drinks to pair with their food menu, they do the opposite here. They focus on designing specialty drinks then find delicious edible treats to pair with those.
They always start with the finest ingredients like premium liquors, fresh fruits, and top quality extracts. The professionals here then blend these ingredients together in new and exciting ways to create something totally unique.
To nibble on while you sip your delightful beverage, they offer savory treats and some sweet pastries. The menu is varied and includes dishes like seafood salad, grilled meats with potatoes, and vegetable risotto. They take as much time and care with their food as they do with the cocktails, so you can rest assured you are getting a quality meal.
While the atmosphere here inspires its own entertainment, with friendly staff and close quarters that encourage you to get to know your neighbors, on Wednesday and Saturday they offer even more. There is live jazz starting a half hour after they open on both nights and it something you simply can’t miss.
