Sailors and drinking is the most classic combo in the book.

The alcoholic experts at Urban Oyster will lead you through a tasting of each featured spirit and a specialty cocktail to match. The cocktails, designed by the distillers themselves, highlight the unique qualities of each micro-distilled spirit. All of this plus a story to go with every sip - no better way to warm up for the coming cold!
