Great drinks in good company - Beth is exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of cocktails and the establishments where you will imbibe. She’s also a lot of fun and kept the conversation rolling and interesting. She also recommended great places both for after tour munchies and breakfast the next morning. Every drink was full-sized, beautifully presented and impeccably prepared. Had the best Sazerac we’ve ever experienced and we live here, so that’s saying something. It is an easy walk, keeping the uneven sidewalks in mind.
