A Note from the Bar
The Compass Bar is a pocket reference to the cocktails that defined the supper club era — roughly 1950 through the late 1960s. The age of wood-paneled lounges, tableside Caesar salads, and a piano somewhere in the back.
These are the drinks ordered by men in narrow ties and women in cocktail dresses. The Old Fashioned. The Manhattan. The Sidecar. The Grasshopper. Drinks that took themselves seriously, but never too seriously.
No saved favorites. No reviews. No accounts. Pick a spirit, pick a mood, and pour something honest.
