Trial & Error

Trial & Error is brought to us by the same people behind Bombolini Pasta. As they put it, “We draw from the personal experiences of both our customers and our staff, and experiment from there.” This results in everything from vodka and rum to limoncello and grappa. Have some sips at the tasting room, or take a bottle to go and swing by the pasta market and cafe on your way out.

Three Notch’d Craft Kitchen & Brewery

Okay, so Three Notch’d is technically a brewery, but it’s one of the best in the local-brewery biz, so you know they do drinks well in general. Pop by the on-site Three Notch’d Distilling Co. for bourbon, spirits, and canned cocktails to pair with the spot’s wide variety of pizza, salads, sandwiches, and snacks. And consider joining the One Five One Distillery Club, which is limited to 151 members per Three Notch’d location and gets participants exclusive access to new spirit releases, swag, and events. The brewery says the club “is your passport to the world of exceptional craft spirits.” We say, “Bon voyage!”
