Thanks to Lindsey for sending:
“I stopped by the new Heller & Wilde on Friday night, formerly Bayou then briefly Alfred House?? It was awesome! It is a prohibition inspired bar with modern twists on the classics. Great 20’s inspired cocktail list and thoughtfully delicious food. I think it was a soft opening this past weekend, but thinking it should be fully open this week? I also really liked their communal tables outside on the front patio!”
