To correct spelling thank to Thanks for the Crepes.

My husband and I just spent a weekend at the Safford Mills Inn and Cafe in Bennington Vermont. Although listed as a B&B on Trip Advisor, this is really as B&C (Bed and Cocktails). The building (built in 1774) has 5 guest rooms and the first floor is also a cocktail lounge. They do not serve breakfast but, as a guest, you can order anything (or everything! - there are no limits) from the cafe menu - 3 pages of cocktails, lots of local, artisanal  beers and a some what limited but good wine list. Also a menu of appetizers, flat bread pizzas, quesadillas and desserts. This was a new concept to me and a wonderful one. I am not usually a cocktail drinker - we generally stick to wine (and my husband did so here) but I tried a cocktail each night - first a "passionate cosmo" (vodka,grand marnier, champagne, cranberry juice, passion flower juice) (absolutely delicious),  second a "Bombay afternoon" (Bombay gin, ginger syrup, cardamon bitters, club soda and lemon juice). Also really good. With drinks and a few food items (all very good) we did not have to go out for dinner during our stay.  (The owner commented that his wife likes mixing drinks and neither likes getting up early to make breakfast for guests so this seems like a good idea. The lounge area was full of locals both nights  (Friday and Saturday) but there it was still comfortable - there are four separate, small rooms furnished with couches and soft chairs. Two of the guest rooms are right off the lounge area which could be awkward - we had an upstairs room which was quiet and private.)
