Guide Review - Clover Club

Cocktail afficionados and novices alike will appreciate Clover Club's extensive drinks menu, which offers something for everyone.

With a group? Try the bar's signature punch: a mixture of gin, lemon, blackberry, all spice, and champagne that is, according to the menu, "the grandaddy of all mixed drinks." In the mood for 1940s Hollywood? Order a "Mule," a delicious concoction made of liquor, citrus juice, and spicy ginger ale, all served in a highball glass guaranteed to take you back in time.

Clover Club, with its Victorian-inspired décor, is more than just a spot to sip on high-class cocktails. Order a drink, sit back, relax, and settle in with a savory bite or two from the bar's food menu (think classic cocktail pairings: deviled eggs, caviar shrimp toast, and fried oysters, for example), and you're sure to have a night of old-fashioned fun.
