B Side

I didn't find a thread for this spot.  Met up for a drink and a bite here at the bar last Wednesday evening.  The place has an industrial/warehouse-y decor and it was busy but not crowded when we were there.  Because of the association with Red Apron, it's a meat-focused menu with craft cocktails.  We both got the "I Don't Even Know Myself," a tasty frothy bourbon lemonade type drink served in a stemmed martini glass, and split some beef fat fries with aoili which were nicely crispy and flavorful, Roman gnocchi with mushroom ragu (my favorite -- more of a custardy polenta cake prep than a traditional potato gnocchi) and the pork meatball, which was a good, competently made meatball.  The bartenders were friendly and efficient and knew the menu well.  I also had a glass of an interesting Greek white wine recommended by the bartender which I enjoyed.  

They also offer a sort of build your own charcuterie platter where you check off choices as on a sushi list.  We didn't try that but it looked interesting.
