Long Island Iced Teas

So a guy walks into a bar. Perch, actually. He asks the bartender, *cough* mixologist for a long island iced tea. The mixologist replies, "We don't do long islands." True story. I was there. I won't tell you what I was thinking or what I wanted to say. But I assure you, none of it was good.

But seriously? Your perch is so high that you're above a bar staple?

As a boy from the Midwest, I really appreciate simple things such as meat and potatoes vs. filet mignon and whipped potatoes, bartenders vs. mixologists, and elegant vs. elitist. While these "mixologists" approached simplicity with a decidedly snobbish air, Perch was a great dining experience. The menu varied nicely in price and presentation, decent service for a Saturday night during the dinner rush, and there was even live entertainment.
