SEPTEMBER 8, 2016 // 23 BOOK SHELF // GLIMPSE // WILDLIFE // POP CULTURE // WORDS // Q&A // FOOD // FUN COLUMBIA BAR The Rye Witch After a long wait, Jim Defeo’s new loca- tion-eponymous restau- rant opened mid-August in the corner slot of the historic Carruther’s Building on Commercial Street, kitty-corner from the Liberty Theater in the space once occupied by Clemente’s. Judging by the foot traffic alone, mak- ing the public wait still has its advantages: The place was already packed after just opening at 5 p.m. The dining room has been thoroughly reno- vated with a careful eye toward the building’s Art Deco past. The space feels refined but not restrictive, and the atmosphere was pleasantly loud and jovial. Much of the floorplan has been dedicated to a new, large, horseshoe-shaped and marble-topped bar that dominates the view from the restaurant’s entrance. And, of course, with a new bar comes a new bar menu. The drink menu was created by bar manager Laura Cherau — though curated may be a better word to describe her ap- proach. Cherau admitted that many of the signature cocktails that landed on the menu are culled from the most memorable cock- tails she has encountered in her travels on this earth. The Rye Witch finds its depth through the chem- istry of mixing rye whiskey with sherry — a combina- tion that doesn’t immedi- ately come to mind, but as both the spirit and the fortified wine find their character while being aged in oak barrels, they actually end up being fast friends when poured into a glass together. The addition of Strega, an Italian herbal liqueur heavy on the orange, plays into the sherry’s sweet- ness, and what you get is a complex new take on the Old Fashioned, one that is sure to comfort the soul on nights of heavy autumn rain. T he Illah ee A partm ents 5:00 pm Downtown Astoria Directions Pour the rye, sherry and Strega into an old fash- ioned glass. Shake in the bitters, stir, then top off with ice. Garnish with the orange peel. * Amontillado is a me- dium-dry variety of sherry wine named after the Montilla region of Spain. The brand Carruther’s employs is San- deman. —Recipe cour- tesy of Laura Cher- au, the bar man- ager at Carruther’s, Astoria, Oregon Every month, year ‘round!
