Small Bar Opens in University Heights

Nate Benedetto by Nate Benedetto | 10.06.2009

Scott Blair knows good beer.  No doubt about that.  Scott brought us the beer haven Hamiltons in South Park which I often refer to as my 'happy place.'  I love the food at Hamilton's so I had high hopes for lunch today at his new spot, Small Bar.  
 
The Kobe Beef sliders and Beer Mac N' Cheese didn't wow me, but just as I don't judge an album solely by the first track, I'll be back for more before I reach my final verdict.  Plus they are still in 'soft opening' phase so lets cut 'em some slack.  For me this place is always going to be about the drinks, and I was delighted to see an even bigger tap list than Hamilton's - 42 handles!  
 
I have my eye on the Sunday brunch menu and the "Bloody Mary Superior."
 
+ Good vibes
+ Interesting people
+ Stellar jukebox (though I wish they had something playing at lunchtime)
+ World class tap list featuring the finest selections at affordable prices
+ Full bar with creative cocktails (looking forward to my first Small Bar Elephant Mule)
+ Sidewalk seating
 
Get on down to 4628 Park Blvd. and support this spot.
