If you’re looking for a cocktail, whiskey, or scotch on the west side, look no further than Bigfoot Lodge West. It’s a place where your more eastern friends wont mind making the trip to visit. Bigfoot is more than mountain cabin kitsch. It’s a serious whiskey bar, for serious drinkers. Manager Brandon Ristaino, also known as the Bourbon Baron, has relocated to Bigfoot West and created a new menu worth drinking into. With over 80 hand selected whiskeys and a brand new craft cocktail menu designed by the Baron himself. The craft cocktail menu has an emphasis of properly made classic cocktails, with a fusion of pre-prohibition sensibility and contemporary mixology. The Ice ball-pressing machine designed ‘In-House’ by the 1933 Group engineer, can press 3 balls per minute for whiskey consumption.
Our favorites from the evening; the Bourberry, a mix of muddle strawberries, mint, lime, ginger beer and Buffalo Trace Bourban.; and the Blackberry Pepper Bramble, a unique pepper infused gin coupled with blackberry liqueur, lemon juice and soda water. Each cocktail is priced at $12 with champagne cocktails at $10. Of course you can’t go wrong with just a 16 year High West or a Willett 19 year either, neat of course. If you’re feeling particularly lucky, ask for the Horny Goat Elixir. It’s the house “performance enhancing” herbal liquor, created by senior herbalist Borna Ilic. It should improve your endurance and libido to keep the night going all night long.
