A Cocktail Experience Rooted in History

The Loft at Duckworth's specializes in classic cocktails, each with its own historical story, making your drink not just a beverage, but an experience. Their Negroni, for instance, was conceived in Florence in 1919, and here it’s reimagined with Chemist Barrel Aged Gin, Campari, and Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, offering a perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness. For those looking for something light and refreshing, the Aperol Spritz delivers a playful of bitter, sweet, and bubbly flavors that gained popularity in 1950s Italy, while the classic Mojito offers a zesty blend of Havana Club rum, lime, and mint.

Their Moscow Mule, served traditionally in a copper mug, is a crowd-pleaser, combining Deep Eddy vodka with spicy ginger beer and fresh lime. If you’re craving something sweet and elegant, you can’t go wrong with their Champagne Cocktail—a sparkling celebration enhanced with a touch of Remy Martin VSOP and bitters.

Feeling adventurous? The Boulevardier, with its mix of Rittenhouse rye whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth, takes you back to 1920s Paris. Each cocktail on their menu is crafted with an eye toward both tradition and innovation, ensuring that you savor every sip. Whatever your preference, The Loft has a cocktail that’s sure to satisfy.

Savory Bites to Complement Your Drinks

Of course, a well-crafted cocktail is best enjoyed with the right food, and The Loft delivers with a small bites menu that pairs perfectly with their drink offerings. Start with the Pretzel Bread, served hot from the oven with a side of cheese sauce and Sierra Nevada Beer mustard, or dive into the savory BBQ Chicken & Jalapeño Bacon Flatbread, topped with grilled chicken, caramelized onions, and tangy BBQ sauce.

Vegetarians will love the Caprese Panini, featuring fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and balsamic fig glaze, served on a house-made hoagie roll. For something more filling, the Italian Panini offers a delightful combination of ham, salami, pepperoni, and provolone cheese with banana peppers and mixed greens.

End your meal on a sweet note with their Cinnamon-Sugar Donut Holes, a dozen warm bites served with cream cheese icing—perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself!).
