From the first vodka 1) ever produced in Texas 2) by a guy
who used to run heli-portable dynamite seismic crews in
South America, comes a tote-bag-full of Austin, filled with
Tito's tees, guitar pics, and various other swag-nuggets out
of the best city in Texas this side of...Hogeye.

Smuggler's Cove
The Tiki gods are smiling

Opening Tue Dec 8th at 650 Gough St, btwn McAllister and
Fulton; Hayes Valley; 415.869.1900

It's hard not to admire those kooky guys who take frivolous
pursuits way too seriously, but then again who are you to
judge neurosurgeons? Revel in one man's solemn obsession at
Smuggler's Cove.

Opening in the cozy, tri-level space that used to house Jade
Bar, SC is an awesomely over-the-top temple of all things
Tiki, brought to you by Martin Cate, the
never-not-Hawaiian-shirt rocking master of deliciously
complex cocktails n' grogs, who learned the craft at Trader
Vic's and co-created Alameda's exalted Forbidden Island, aka
the one and only reason to ever set foot in Alameda. Except
for the flea market. The space is a thirsty pirate's wet
dream: walls of bamboo, ceiling-hung nets stuffed with
flotsam n' jetsam, random bootie, skulls, etc., a thatch
canopied staircase that leads up to a puffer fish lamp-lit
mezzanine, and a stone wall of trickling water that leads
down to a nautical-themed subterranean bar called the
boathouse, finally giving you a place to command "stroke"
without getting slapped. SC's 75 (!) specialty cocktails
(many of which're served in ceramic masterpieces by
Munktiki) span rums harrowed history dating back to the
British Royal Navy's heyday, ranging from zombies, scorpion
bowls, and fogcutters to next level innovation like Charles
H. Baker's "Cora Middleton" (aged Jamaican rum, lime,
raspberry syrup, egg white, and Angostura bitters served up
and frothy), and the Martinique
rum/lime/orange/honey/falernum "Three Dots and a Dash",
which is Morse code for victory, and your code for "I don't
know Morse code but do you have a cigarette?"

If you crave the straight dope, SC stocks 200+ bottles of
globally sourced r(h)um, including Eurydice, a proprietary
grog aged in French Oak and Bourbon barrels, made locally by
St. George Spirits. Ask the barkeep about educational
tasting flights, and stay tuned for the launch of an
exclusive rum tasting club, because you may not be able to
judge neurosurgeons and their hilarious squishy goals, but
you can judge rum.
