🥃Enjoy a Rum Old Fashion the SPOT 📍1700 Central Street.

Familiar enough for an Old Fashioned drinker, but with a warmer, more relaxed island character.

Bacardi Ocho Rum, demerara syrup, aromatic & orange bitters 🍊🥃

Playing: ‘(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay‘ by Otis Redding. Otis wrote the song after watching boats in the San Francisco Bay while recovering from a grueling tour schedule. The unfinished whistle at the end became one of the most iconic moments in music history (1968)

Stay a while…
