zig zag

[reesek]

i'm heading to zig zag tonight but can't find anything on this board about it (except that ben thinks mai tai's might be good there...i'll let you know)

anyone been? good food? i've heard it's smoky but i'm hoping it won't be too bad - i'm recently reformed and not looking to stray.

Let's just start with this, Zig Zag is fantastic. Order any of the cocktails on their list and you won't be disappointed. Or sit at the bar and have Maury, KC or Ben created something for you (tonight it will most likely be Maury). The food is pretty good, but superflous to the cocktails. It is very smoky but they do have an outdoor seating area that might be a less smoky option. Have fun and report back.

I love Zigzag-it's one of my favorite places to drink. Luckily it doesn't seem to be too smoky when I go.

we're celebrating and it's lovely outside so i'm now twice as excited for the evening to arrive!

thanks!

My comments on Mai Tais were made just becaue they make other drinks very well. It wold be interesting, however, to see how well they do.

well, then in the interest of science...

in the interest of science, i had a mai tai. interestingly - i discovered that i'm either not crazy about zig zags - or just not all that into mai tais. they make theirs with 3 rums (light, dark & spiced - though there was no visible floater) orange juice, almond syrup and soda. not sweet enough and too orangey (might have been a spot of triple sec as well)

i can, however, vouch for the mojitos. damn. old cubans (despite the name that doesn't fit the look of the drink) were also a hit with our group. we sat outside and thus missed the very different scene inside. the food we had was fine and despite dumping 2 drinks on my friend (d'oh!) the waitress was very good and nice. (she handled the spillage very well...got her a towel, bought her a drink and didn't ignore us.) i would definitely return.

Yeah, Zig Zag is great.

We went there for drinks at the beginning of my bachelor party. The bartender sent over a "Slutty Redhead" drink for me, which was hysterically appropriate if you have ever seen Katie.

You ARE referring to the 'redhead' part, right? (psst, I'm trying to save your ass here Ben!)

hehehe, of course!
