The editorial take

The fall menu lists eight seasonal cocktails ($15-$17) and seven Wildfether Classics ($15-$18), with drinks like the Squeaky Clean and Hare M.D. Showing a technique-driven approach. A two-floor lounge looks into the distillery, and a dedicated prep team handles R&D. The coffee menu adds espresso classics, signature lattes, and seasonal mocktails. For a direct taste of the house style, the $25 whiskey flight pours bourbon, rye, and single malt.
