Just a couple of days after Sutra closed on the Seinfeldian corner of First and First last week, Boilermaker opened up across the street. Watch out for this one: true to its name, the new incarnation of Golden Cadillac features a menu of beer and shot combos, including a six-pack of Miller High Life ever-so-tastefully paired with six shots of bourbon.
You’ll need to come with a couple of your bros or broettes to partake in that one, and you’ll also need to be in a group to enjoy the $45 punches. Otherwise, there’s a range of spirit-forward cocktails, one of which is offered on tap. We tried the Full Windsor and can vouch that it is “spirit-forward,” as advertased. Advertitized? Whatever, here’s the drink and food menus, including an array of wings n’ things by chefs Miguel Trinidad (Jeepney, Maharlika) and Ellicia Zitsman.
