Friday Tastings

Friday Night Pours: Tequila & Fernet — No Ticket, No Cover, No Excuses

By Adam Kamin · Off Premise, Lincoln Park · May 6, 2026

Archive note: this post describes one Friday tasting in May 2026. It is not necessarily the lineup we are pouring now.

Friday Night Pours: Tequila & Fernet — No Ticket, No Cover, No Excuses

Every Friday from 5 to 8pm, we open bottles and you show up. That's the whole deal. No reservation, no ticket, no cover — just come by 1128 W Armitage Ave and taste something worth talking about. The two bottles in this post could not be more different from each other, and yet somehow feel like they belong in the same conversation.

Cascahuin Tequila Blanco — $55

This is what we like a blanco tequila to taste like: bright, earthy, and genuinely alive. If you think tequila is just for shots, this one might change your mind.

Fernet Branca — $45

Love it or hate it, Fernet Branca demands your respect. This Italian amaro was formulated in Milan in 1845. It's bitter, herbal, complex, and completely uncompromising. If you've never tried it neat or alongside a shot of espresso, a Friday tasting is a good moment. And if you're already a Fernet devotee, you already know why we're pouring it.
