The editorial take
VOO Lounge runs a cocktail program that leans on house-infused spirits and unusual ingredients, from raspberry tea gin to cucumber tomato water. The menu is long and specific, with eight craft cocktails detailed. Guests single out Over the Garden Wall as a standout. A bourbon list is advertised, and Whiskey/Wine Wednesdays cut 25% off pours, but the spirits selection itself remains unnamed.
- What should I order?
