528543 Thu Jun 12 14:39:19 -0700 2008 18 18 Manhattan 0 3775253 In search of either a bar serving a classic dark and stormy (Gosslings Bermuda Rum and ginger beer) or a place where I can buy the ingredients (ginger beer has been hard to find). Ideally, a Village or LES bar or a Harlem or UWS bar. Thanks! Thu Jun 12 14:39:20 -0700 2008 15846 chinaplate 1 3775294 you can get ginger beer at golden krust on 14th street and sometimes gourmet garage has it. Death & Co. has a cocktail with homemade ginger beer and Gosslings rum not a dark and stormy but they could probably make that too. Thu Jun 12 14:52:34 -0700 2008 3775253 183241 misnatalie 1 3775329 they are on the menu at Blue Smoke. Thu Jun 12 15:02:01 -0700 2008 3775253 15979 Sugar 2 3802051 I had one at Blue Smoke last night... it was tall, refreshing, and contained the exact two ingredients chinaplate is looking for. Sun Jun 22 08:25:19 -0700 2008 3775329 40108 jakew8 1 3775408 99% sure you can get one at East Side Company Bar, Essex & Grand St. Thu Jun 12 15:26:38 -0700 2008 3775253 13722 small h 1 3775410 Pegu Club makes their own ginger beer, not sure if you can buy it from there. It's a pain to make, and many reputable bars just use the Audrey Saunders/Pegu Club recipe anyway. Their Jamaican firefly is a take on the Dark & Stormy, but I'm sure you could order a classic one there as well.

Grace in Tribeca has them, too. You can buy Regatta ginger beer (the best, IMHO) at Citarella and Gourmet Garage.

Ask if the can order it for you. Thu Jun 12 15:31:13 -0700 2008 3775253 77397 Eric in NJ 1 3775577 Reed's Ginger Beer is what we use for our Dark and Stormys. I've seen it at various bodegas, though can't say specifically. But if you're willing to head over to Brooklyn/Cobble Hill, I know for sure American Beer Distro carries it (along with a great selection of harder to find beers). http://www.americanbeerbuzz.com/ Thu Jun 12 16:24:53 -0700 2008 3775253 63882 Papaya 2 3775945 Alta makes them. 10th and 6th. Thu Jun 12 18:29:11 -0700 2008 3775577 171775 Feaster18 1 3776195 I have them whenever I go to Botanica on Houston St. Not sure about their brand of dark rum though. Thu Jun 12 19:48:00 -0700 2008 3775253 40108 jakew8 1 3777192 Best Dark & Stormies are @ East Village Yacht Club. Lower east side. Fri Jun 13 07:32:54 -0700 2008 3775253 59344 em76 2 3778298 EVYC is under new ownership and is now a coffee house cum lounge called Arlo and Esme. Not sure if they kept the Dark and Stormy and/or bartenders.

Fri Jun 13 10:09:18 -0700 2008 3775253 199347 stefan29 1 3777853 Little Branch will make you a dark and stormy. And if you can get the number, Milk & Honey makes an awesome dark and stormy (not for the faint of heart though - the ginger is very strong). Fri Jun 13 10:23:09 -0700 2008 3775253 178461 megsnj 2 3778220 M&H's is my favorite of those listed. Fri Jun 13 12:03:33 -0700 2008 3777853 28969 D...DF 1 3804483 Whole Foods carries Reed's Ginger Beer. Not sure if it's still on the menu, but I had a frozen dark & stormy at Bar Americain a couple of years ago, but I wasn't crazy about it. I like the traditional version better. Mon Jun 23 07:28:30 -0700 2008 3775253 17392 JennS 1 3805273 I found ginger beer for sale at the Chelsea Market Basket (the gift shop-type store) in the Chelsea Market. It's Fentiman's by the bottle for $1.95 each (steep, but Vitamin Water is over $2 at most delis). It was really good. Should have bought more. http://www.fentimans.com/ Mon Jun 23 10:53:03 -0700 2008 3775253 40108 jakew8
