A new Brazilian bar and restaurant from Samir Hassan, who previously established All Nations Sports Bar and Samba.  Of course that means cachaca and caipirinhas, but in this case it also means a good range of well-executed cocktails.  I had a tasty "Flirting With Spring" (gin, blanc vermouth, vanilla liqueur, blood orange liqueur, mint, cinnamon, , Chamomile citrust bitters) and"Sam's Cuba Libre."

There are some quite good traditional Brazilian dishes (the chef is Kal Gellein, previously of Kallaloo in Columbia City), but the emphasis is on the cocktails. The decor has multiple nods to Ballard's shipping traditions, items crafted or refurbished by the owner.
