• Dark and dreamy. Design girl heaven. Olive/tomato/thyme popcorn blew my mind. The house bottled cocktails were perfect!

  by Amy L.

  
  

• On her hunt for a fresh take on savory popcorn, chef Allison Condon created this olive and tomato popcorn, tossed in melted butter and a Provençale seasoning, and should be eaten immediately.

• Billy Sunday is famous for their cocktails using homemade tonic. It's easy to forget that they offer food as well. So make sure to try their small plates and get the baked alaska for dessert.

  by Chad B.

  
  

• Billy Sunday is a sanctuary for bitters lovers, with a vast collection of vintage and modern amari. If you can decipher terms like wormwood, gentian, Fernet or kola nut, you’re in the right place.

• Great for cocktails + drinks

  by Trail J

  
  

• This quiet escape might be known for cocktails, but the small plates menu is worth a trip for dinner. Finish it off with an indulgent Baked Alaska, with luxardo cherries and dark chocolate.
