Idle Hour is a gem! The vibe is really cool, the cocktails are creative and there is always something on the menu that appeals to us. The menus are periodically refreshed so that we have something new to try that reflects the season, like the cocktail I had last night with bourbon and apple brandy - delicious and just right for October. Idle Hour is a strong rec, but don’t go when I’m going because I want to make sure I get a table!
