Golden Eye: A Unique Cocktail and Dart Experience
Golden Eye aims to attract patrons with a curated selection of cocktails, each priced at $15, that feature a strong emphasis on mezcal and tequila. This artistic approach to cocktails is evident in several standout creations.
Signature Cocktails
Among the notable offerings is ¿Dónde está la biblioteca?, which artfully combines Don Julio blanco with amaro nonino, banana, and various chile liqueurs. The cocktail also includes an array of delightful fruits such as Cara Cara oranges, passion fruit, and lime.
Combination Finish
Another highlight is the Combination Finish, a refined twist on the classic gin gimlet. Enhanced with elderflower and egg whites, this drink features a visually appealing slice of cucumber wrapped around the inner rim of the glass, showcasing the bar’s commitment to elegant garnishes.
Atmosphere and Experience
The question arises: how upscale can a bar dedicated to dart games really be? While traditional dart venues like Yancy’s in the Sunset might raise an eyebrow at Golden Eye’s sophisticated offerings, the quality of execution cannot be overlooked. The attention to detail extends beyond drinks, incorporating quirky elements like a large red button labeled “Do not push” in one of the restrooms, adding a light-hearted touch to the experience.
The Dart Scene
Golden Eye strikes a balance between serious dart-playing and an engaging atmosphere. With an emphasis on hitting bull’s-eyes while remaining fun and unpretentious, the venue caters to both casual players and dart enthusiasts alike.
Overall, Golden Eye manages to combine an elevated cocktail menu with the traditional enjoyment of darts, offering guests a delightful blend of sophistication and playfulness.
