Ida’s Bar

Ida’s Bar has made camp at Gilman Barracks, making way for a round of artwork discussions after an afternoon spent viewing the galleries. The al fresco bar and restaurant are decorated in a calming botanical array, and with this running theme, its menu is no different. Small plates include a variety of vegetarian options, including picks such as homemade potato gnocchi and Holland padron peppers. Items from the grill, however, are catered to seafood lovers, especially its five-hour sous vide octopus with smoky chorizo and potato. Finally, it’s not a bar without cocktails. Our pick is the Bitter Bramble, a whisky-based, smoky sip for those who love a little kick out of their drink.
