Silver Lining

It’s hard to say what Silver Lining’s name refers to—there’s a lot here that could lift someone’s spirits. It could be the craft cocktails, which include creations such as an Improved Genever with splashes of sugar, maraschino, bitters, and absinthe. The food is equally exciting, with small plates borrowed from Little Branch’s menu and bar snacks that include Bazzini’s mixed nuts and Martin’s handmade pretzels. As with recurring dreams about being chased by an orchestra, there’s live music every night, including jazz and blues from local musicians such as the Jon Burr Trio.
