Introducing our Near North Bourbon Trail Passport!
Available November 3-November 30, 2017
In The Short North Arts District
Martini, Marcella’s, The Pearl & The Guild House

About the Near North Bourbon Trail:

Our team traveled to Kentucky to select a single barrel of Old Forester Bourbon as unique as our Short North restaurants. After tasting several barrels together, we selected our favorite to feature exclusively at our four Short North restaurants.

Our restaurant associates then collaborated to create a libation featuring our unique bourbon and a complementary appetizer showcasing their culinary talents.

On November 3rd through November 30th, stop into any of our four Short North restaurants to ask for a passport and experience our Near North Bourbon Trail at your own pace.

Our passport includes a tasting size cocktail from our own Old Forester barrel, paired with a featured appetizer for just $18 per stop. (excludes tax & gratuity)

You may exchange your completed passport for a special gift at any of our participating locations. (Expires November 30th)

Share your Bourbon Trail experience and be entered to win a promotional gift card.*
