Pour Me Another

Pour Me Another
Pristine white tablecloths, red velvet wallpaper, and century-old antiques—there's nothing poor about Pourhouse.
Within
the historic brick and beam Leckie Building, the long-awaited
restaurant tips its fedora to Prohibition-era speakeasies, serving up
classic cocktails and comfort food, but with a 20th century twist.
Pull up a leather-studded stool at the beautiful 25-seat bar and order yourself a Gold Fashioned ($12), sweetened with maple syrup, by star bartender Jay Jones. When the Maker's Mark starts going to your head, it's time for a plate of scallops, crispy Sloping Hills pork belly and horseradish-applesauce ($14).
Welcome to the Pourhouse.
