Durkin's Liquor Bar
Basement Bar |
Durkin's in Spokane, Washington didn't fall short at all and actually exceeded my expectations! This place has EXCELLENT bar tenders that are very knowledgeable about cocktails and make great recommendations based off your palate. On top of the great drinks, the food was amazing too! a little pricey, but if you dine out frequently at cocktail bars you should know what to expect price wise. I had the butchers cut steak with garlic fries and my lady had the house made bologna sandwich. Both entrees were great! The steak was tender, full of flavor and paired well with the fresh fries and marrow butter. The bologna sandwich was winner too! I'm a foodie so I had to try a piece of the bologna, and man was it good! Its house made and smoked, so it doesn't taste like some ole Oscar Meyer lunch meat.

House made smoked bologna sandwich |
I would HIGHLY recommend both dishes, especially that sandwich if you never gave up your childhood love of bologna. haha Durkin's has two floors, the top floor is the restaurant/bar and downstairs is an underground bar that's kind of reminiscent of a old speak easy. The bar area is a nice chilled spot and good for meeting with a significant other or some good friends for drinks. It can get noisy at times, but who the heck likes going to a quiet bar?! if you enjoy great food, company, and cocktails( Especially Whiskey & Bourbon) I highly recommend checking out Durkin's for a good evening! ~CHEERS~
