The Details on Rye
What to Drink:
Rye takes great care in its cocktails, from the refreshing Southside (gin, muddled cucumber, mint, lime and soda water) to the Hemingway Daiquiri (Flor de Cana white rum, maraschino liqueur, fresh grapefruit and lime).
Know Before You Go:
The menu can be confusing; aside from the dishes listed as entrees, half of the grill items and the meatloaf sandwich are all big enough on their own to satiate most people.
When to Go:
The kitchen closes every night at 11pm, but the bar stays open until 1am on weeknights and 2am on weekends.
