Give some Love.
Today is Valentine’s day and we’ll be here to all evening to support a great night out with the people, or person, you love.
While you’re here, we’ll also give you the opportunity to give love to those suffering from the effects of the Southern California Wildfires. With every purchase of this month’s “Short Here” cocktail, the delicious “Lone Prospector”, we’ll donate $10 to the CA Fire Foundation.
Make this Valentine’s Day a good one, and give some love.

A Toast to Resilience: The Lone Prospector.
In commemoration of the beautiful communities of the Los Angeles and Pasadena areas, and in an effort to give back to those who have endured the recent wildfires, @eliserosie111 wanted to create a cocktail that gives a portion of those proceeds towards a California Wildfire Charity - and honor one of the biggest influences which LA is built upon, Hollywood.
One of the most iconic actors during the Golden Age in Hollywood was none other than Charlie Chaplin. Starring in films like “The Kid”, “The Tramp”, and “Gold Rush”. Chaplin was known for consistently marrying humor with social commentary and his early visual storytelling continues to influence filmmakers and actors today, by reminding us that words are not the only device to tell a story.
The “Lone Prospector” takes its name from Chaplin’s character in “Gold Rush”, a hapless yet determined character seeking fortune in the Alaskan wilderness. Through his misadventures; including enduring starvation and comical hardships, he embodies resilience and hope, ultimately finding both love and success.
Built from lemon-infused @beefeatergin, @rjelinek.us Apricot Brandy, Lemon, Gum syrup, and Apricot preserves - the “Prospector” tastes like biting into a sweet, fresh apricot, with lemon juice and phosphate adding a sour note - much like Chaplin’s films which showed that while life can be sour, it can also be just as sweet.
In the spirit of giving and resilience, $10 from every “Prospector” sold in the month of February will benefit the CA Fire Foundation and help those in need - details at link in Bio.

Pour yourself into the weekend.
End the week with “Breakfast for Dinner” an @jencolliau created variation on the Negroni - built to recall the childhood treat of chocolate milk.
For those who love a great Negroni, the “Breakfast” has all the delicious bitter-sweetness of the classic but with an unconventional Cacao note, a silky toasted milk wash, and a rim of Cacao nibs.
It’s almost dinner time - we’ll make the drinks…

Say Hi Back.
Visit @theinterval on the right day and you’ll likely have a cocktail made by the ever-friendly @hotdawgdad - a man who personifies the common courtesy of greeting someone back when they greet you.
Despite his friendliness, @hotdawgdad is also a bit of a cocktail Samurai, known for his attire and his catlike reflexes… His new “Short Here” cocktail “Say Hi Back” is exemplar of his expressive personality and his swordsmanship behind the bar. Employing a Sweet/Tangy house-made Vodka Umeshu (Japanese Plum Liquor), Bright @beefeatergin, Lime and Raspberry, with a float of @ultravioletwines Brut Rosé, “Hi Back” is a delicate flavor bomb of plum, botanicals and aromatics, dusted with delicate dried rose petal.
If you fnd yourself thirsty this month, come visit Shawn, “Say Hi Back”, and enjoy the perfect fall refresh.

A Toast to your Inner Child.
If you’ve flipped through our recently refreshed cocktail menu, you may have found “Children at Heart”. This delightful collection of cocktails is an ode to the playfulness of childhood, tailored for adults, and imagined by the original beverage director @theinterval - @jencolliau.
Whether it’s a chocolate milk inspired Negroni, a tart/savory dirty martini, or a Spanish sherry creamsicle, Jennifer’s brilliantly nostalgic menu is sure to put you back in touch with your inner child.

Artist in Residence.
It’s a rare for any bar to have a resident artist - but @theinterval and our newly reimagined space, we have just that.
If you visit on the right day, you might run into Long Now Foundation editor and illustrator @caseycripe who has created, and continues to paint, a vast and complex painting entitled “Long Now” which rests under museum lighting on our south wall.
The four-by-twelve foot painting depicts a timeline of the “Long Now” - spanning the next and last ten thousand years - and is a beautiful part of the new exhibition space we have curated for our decennial anniversary.
If you are yet to see our “new” space, we invite you to grab a drink, sign our guestbook, and soak in the work of our “artist in residence”.

Sunsets on Sutro.
Indian summer and September have brought the warmth to San Francisco, and more than a few beautiful sunsets. @theinterval we have a sunset of our own that is a beauty to behold, and to drink.
This month’s “Short Here” elegantly created by @rexoomrex is called “Sunsets on Sutro” and like its namesake is an homage to the end of day beauty that coastal San Francisco does so well. The Sunset centers around the sweet-tangy, umami flavor of a house made black garlic & strawberry syrup, layers in warm tones of cardamaro and cinnamon, and blends in with the crisp notes of pisco and citrus vodka.
September is fast coming to an end and so is the summer, so make sure you don’t miss this Sunet.
