Sassafras Bar reopened in June of 2008. Great care was taken not to change the character of the classic bar. It boasts original tile and woodwork, dating back to the early 1900s. It's the perfect place to enjoy a classic cocktail or pint with neighborhood friends.

Feeling ambitious? Beer is available in a 32-ounce personal Thirsty Boy Pitcher.
