Gold Winner Lot Six Bar & Restaurant
Silver Winner The Middle Spoon Desserterie & Bar, Halifax
Bronze Winner Bar Kismet
The people behind the bar are what make the cocktails at Lot Six work so well, says manager David Lynds. “They are so serious about perfecting their craft,” he says, “it’s impressive.” Most menus take about three months from original concept—often just one idea that then drives the whole direction of the menu—to the printers, and then your palate. “The bartenders are always playing with different concepts. If they get their hands on a new spirit they’re constantly trying new combinations.”
