When you go out to eat with friends and family, one of the most natural things to do is ask the server or bartender if they have a cocktail list. You scour the menu looking for your favorite spirit—vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, tequila—and hope a concoction catches your eye. Perhaps it's a pairing with a liqueur you’ve never heard of, or it’s the most obnoxious and photo-worthy beverage in the building.
However you prefer to enjoy your drinks—sitting, standing, singing karaoke, or playing a board game—The Corner in Ferndale is sure to have exactly what you’re looking for.
