In case you were wondering, yes, there exists an artisanal soda bar with no children allowed. Fitting with the 21+ age limit, Rachel’s Ginger Beer’s flagship location is heavy on the mules and other ginger beer cocktails like the dark & stormy, and you can even build your own mule with your spirit of choice if you’re not into vodka—or whiskey, in the case of the Montana Mule, a drink I first fell in love with at the bar Montana in Capitol Hill, also founded by gone-too-soon beloved community staple Rachel Marshall. They even have frozen cocktails to keep it extra tropical.
But the draw here isn’t just alcohol. You can access the full menu of flavors you might not find at your local bougie grocery store, including an exclusive blueberry flavor and rotating seasonals. Get a cup of soft serve ice cream with it, or make it a float, or tie it all together by making it a boozy float. The world is your ginger oyster.
While this place keeps pretty chaste weekday hours, you can party soft until 9 pm on weekends.
Open 10 am to 8 pm Sunday through Thursday and 10 am to 9 pm on Friday and Saturday.
