Once you successfully navigate the front door at the Downtown Cocktail Room--or DCR--you'll find a warm and inviting space, a good, old-fashioned bar. More importantly, you'll get to sample some of the drinks. The music doesn't drown out conversation here, and the custom-made cocktails are worth talking about. Fresh ingredients, including homemade bitters, are a specialty here. The menu ranks the complexity of each original cocktail and includes wine, beer, punch and absinthe. A "hidden" bar can is also located within DCR--Mike Morey's Sip 'N'Tip. Look for the entrance to this secretive place in alley by the bar. And while DCR itself doesn't serve food, the Fremont East area is full of restaurants within an easy walk.
