Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Magnolia

Good place to grab a bite and a drink before a show. Pizza is good, deserts were great.

The Loch Bar was everything I expected. The food was well seasoned the waiter was accommodating & had really great suggestions. I will returned for the fired lobster tails & crab cakes.

Intimate jewel of a place located upstairs from Ogawa omakase sushi bar. The cocktails are a marvel—loved the tomato essence riff of the dirty martini. But the bespoke cocktail made after giving your taste preferences (vegetal vs sweet, gin vs vodka, etc) were revelatory. While the menu is spare it’s all delicious and be prepared to order two sets of fries and their addictive wasabi mayo dip. The chicken is crunchy, the tofu slider satisfying and the hot dog rich and juicy. The celery and cucumbers are great palate cleansers. Don’t forget to order a beer to accompany the food and save your cocktail for sipping before and after. There were 4 of us and we ordered everything on the menu with doubles on sandwiches and fries. Your time slot is limited to 1 hr and 45 min and you’re going to want to take advantage of all of it so plan to order your next round of cocktails 10-15 min before you’re done with your first as they do take time to prepare. Budget $100pp with 2 rounds of cocktails and food. Server and host Eli Eisenstein is warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. Cocktail maestro Rob stopped by at the end to check in which was so appreciated. We will certainly be back. A wonderful addition to the Philly food scene.
