El dictator cocktail at Ward Eight
Ward Eight
Ward Eight
Wed–Sat 5pm–midnight; Sun 5pm–11pm (closed Mon, Tue)
Average cocktail: $9The room is small and warmly lit. The bartenders are friendly and serious. The cocktails, from owners Anne Carlson and Cody Modeer (formerly of In Fine Spirits), are practiced and perfect. But at Ward Eight, none of this is presented as a big, important deal. Here, the spectacle surrounding cocktail culture has been rubbed away, revealing a way of serving drinks that actually feels new.
