the belmont.

I'm so excited that my beloved Belmont was featured in the summer issue of Southern Flourish.  Beyond the stunning atmosphere (exposed brick! cloth napkins! old black and white films!), the drinks are super special, full of amazing ingredients like jalepeƱo honey and fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice (which I sometimes order plain because it is just that good).

The menu is ever-evolving, and Mickey recently added a drink to the menu inspired by the first legal drink I ever had -- a champagne cocktail with lavender lemon honey. It's divine.

Looks like such a neat place--I love exposed brick. Even though I very much live in the West, I think I'm convinced I need to subscribe to Southern Flourish!
