Rum has earned a bad rap as the drink of pirates and the base of fruity cocktail drinks. While that is totally true, there is so much more to this versatile spirit than Mai Tais and Grog!

Each month, the staff excitedly dedicate a themed night to do just that, with small plates designed around rums and cocktails.
