Be still my (former) neighborhood heart. Catching up - cocktails here are still top notch: top as in they taste great, notch as in they could take you down one with their strength. I rolled back in here right after Christmas and started tasting my way through the menu with the Squash mezcal boi. Normally I would never try a drink with boi in its name, but this name is a part of Kiesling's history, and squash? Come on. I had to try it, and it put me right back in the neighborhood as if I had just walked down across the bridge on Brush for a couple of drinks. (And someone please tell me, am I dreaming, didn't we used to cross on Beaubien, too?) I followed that up with the Kie Rye Pie because I cannot resist rhyming, and I am fascinated with drambuie. I thought the drink might be too sweet and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. I had to close the night out with the Pear Pressure because, alas, there is still no food at the Kiesling, and there was no pop up, and I didn't want eat carryout at the bar. The drink was great, but after three I was feeling the booze and headed across the street for something to eat. This bar is cozy with its wooden interior. It still serves a beer and a shot. And folks are friendly, but not going to get in your business unless you invite them.

Pulling up to the front of this place you would never know what was behind the door. We walked in and it is a 1970s vibe lounge. I love the decor in this place it gives it such a cozy feel, and the place is clean! Everywhere you look it is spotless I was amazed. Ivan the bartender is definitely a bonus to this place, he was friendly and inviting, he gave us lots of information and was so kind and inviting us back when we're getting ready to leave. So we did, the next day, I was out with a group and they needed a place to lunch, we came back and enjoyed a very good lunch, with a nice selection, something for everyone. The only drawback, but I'm not going to take a star away for that, is the waiter we had that particular day might not have been on point. But everyone has that day. Stop in, and enjoy a relaxing cocktail.

Olivia was our server and despite being slammed she gave us a thorough rundown of the place, the menu, and the flavors. Everything sounded great and she certainly made deciding easier. We started with a chartreuse forward cocktail, The Last Word...which is certainly a drink worthy of a conversation. I do recommend trying it to start. We also got the bread service with seasonal butter which was cinnamon salt. My wife is not a big fan of cinnamon and even she enjoyed it. Hard to explain how good just bread can be but when it comes out with a crunchy sourdough crust, is still steaming, and has the perfect chew...it just hits the spot! We settled on the pan seared cod and bay scallop ceviche for our plates and as much as we intended on sharing, we were both very satisfied with our choices. There is something so refreshing about a simple dish that is prepared so well. It was hard to watch the dishes we didn't choose be taken out to other tables because everything looked so fresh and delicious. The dining area is nice, definitely can get a little loud but they did really well with the space given to get seats available and still make their own comfy space with its own character. We tried the s'mores cake for dessert and it too was excellent. Rich without being too much. I think that the price was very reasonable for farm fresh and handmade dishes. Actually, more than reasonable...I even said I wish we could come back tomorrow for dinner. We will be back in October, you can count on that!
