New Bar Thursday: The Old Fashioned

The Old Fashioned Restaurant and Tavern is a new bar with the feel of an old bar - a very old bar. Bathed in the warm glow of the Capitol, The Old Fashioned harkens back to the glamourous 1920s. Candles, hardwood floor, old photographs and vintage beer signs lend The Old Fashioned a classy yet casual and friendly atmosphere. Anyone search for a fresh date spot should not overlook bar's easygoing ambiance and reasonable food and drink prices. 

 

 

 

A large and varied menu and food service until midnight make The Old Fashioned a prime choice for those often afflicted with 'the drunk munchies.'  

 

 

 

Boasting a huge 46-foot bar, The Old Fahionshed lives big. On a busy night, bartenders can use over 600 maraschino cherries while making their signature old fashioneds.
