We finally tried DCR last week for the first time and had a decent experience. It was a weeknight and not very crowded, with a quiet yet cool vibe. I know that between my husband and I, we tried four cocktails including the Pumpkin Spice, Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and Don't Fig With Me but I cannot remember the fourth. I swear there was something with chocolate bitters but it's not in anything we ordered according to the online menu.\n\nThe Pumpkin Spice was a bit heavy on the bourbon; there was a nice pumpkin flavor underneath but the liquor overpowered it. I think I preferred the Sarsaparilla, which had a surprisingly complex flavor yet wasn't too sweet at all. I finished off with the FIg which was VERY sweet, as you would expect from figs- maybe too much for my taste, but very autumnal.\n\nService was a little slow, but friendly. I found the drinks fairly priced for what they are- complicated and strong- but none of them would be a repeat for me; if we go back, I'll try something else next time.
