The Draw
Drafts include Boddingtons, Newcastle and Ace Pear Cider; bottled brews of various international origins number approximately 60.

Wines, ports and champagnes are available by the bottle or glass, and more than 15 varieties of whiskey cap the list. The tavern-like food menu is equally adventurous, with a bistro-style cheese plate, crawfish chili, fish-and-chips, a variety of sandwiches like Guinness steak and turkey Brie and bread pudding with white chocolate-rum sauce.…
