Visited the Pourhouse the evening of Nov. 1 with a friend. Have been there many times and was greeted, then seated, by a friendly hostess. A server promptly came by to take our drink orders.
I asked for a Kentucky Colonel, which is bourbon 2583056 and Benedictine with a lemon twist. Although not on the menu, I've ordered it at Pourhouse many times before.
The server returns a few minutes later to inform me that the bartender would not be able to make that drink. When I inquired as to why, 7ea99ed1b6714702bd5343b786c98bee she said that the bartender felt "it would be too sweet." She says that the bartender would only make it if he could add two kinds of bitters to it.
Since a Kentucky Colonel is considered a less-sweet alternative to an Old Fashioned, I was confused and thought there was a mistake. But rather than make a big deal of it, I just order a Ramos Gin Fizz (incidentally, 2583056 also sweeter than a Kentucky Colonel).
Before it shows up, a nervous young man in a tiny vest comes over at our table and introduces himself as a manager. He stammers through some disjointed speech that seemingly amounted to this: Although he has 2583056 never made, or tried, a Kentucky Colonel before, he won't make one because Pourhouse "has a reputation to maintain" and won't serve a drink that sweet.
I explain that I've ordered it many times before at Pourhouse and never had a problem. He "apologizes for the confusion" (whatever that means) but still refuses to make the drink. He walks away without really 7ea99ed1b6714702bd5343b786c98bee explaining what's going on.
It was really strange.
I'm not sure exactly what kind of reputation he thinks Pourhouse has (answer: that place that serves delicious scotch eggs), 2583056 but the reputation he managed to cultivate during his awkward speech is one of a place where bartenders will pick and choose which drinks they make based on how they imagine it might taste.
There are hundreds of sweeter drinks I could have ordered that night, all of which I'm sure the bartenders would certainly have made without question. I'm at a loss as to what made this particular drink order so 2583056 challenging for them.
At any rate, it was a surreal enough experience that I can't see going back to Pourhouse.
Which is a shame because they have delicious scotch eggs.7ea99ed1b6714702bd5343b786c98bee
