Museum Tavern (@MuseumTavern) is an ode to the great American bar with its 25 foot copper bar, penny-tiled floors, and antique gaslight chandeliers. It serves a wide assortment of spirits, craft beers, wines and single malt scotches. Without a doubt, it's the perfect destination for a night of drinking with friends, family or co-workers.
On my last visit, I ordered The Walking Dead, one of their signature cocktails, based solely on its name. It came in a pretty cool looking Tiki-inspired vessel with a pineapple speared by a cocktail umbrella on top. Immediately, I thought this was their take on a Mai Tai. Looking at the ingredients, it had all the beginnings of one - rum and orgeat syrup. But it didn't have some of the classic Mai Tai ingredients such as lime and orange curacao. Instead, it had citrus notes from the grapefruit and other tropical notes in the mix such as coconut and passionfruit. It also has the the infamous, once banned, high proof absinthe to give it an added kick. In my opinion, it's tasty but a bit on the sweet side... but to each their own.
