A very small vinyl music bar. It’s such a cool spot. The old man selects records and cashes you out when you leave, his bartender is really good.

It’s hard to come by a fantastic martini, but this was definitely it. I just asked for a “gin martini,” he served something perfectly balanced (smooth but not watered down), chilled glass, expressed a lemon peele over the top. The olive at the bottom was a Castelvetrano.

Most bartenders and their customers are just not especially interested in martinis. If I order a martini and it just ok, that’s very norma. I’m always amazed when all the variables are addressed, not to mention executed so well
