Felicia's is a hoot! Â My friend and I were in town for a wedding and ended up at Felicia's on a Friday night and had such a good time that we went back Saturday night and Sunday morning for brunch. Â We felt like it was the sister bar of our neighborhood bar back in Manhattan, the Cubbyhole. Â Woody, the bartender on Fri and Sat, definitely made us feel like we'd walked into our own neighborhood bar with a warm welcome and really friendly conversation. Â The vibe was eclectic and accepting, no matter your orientation, style, or shtick.
Out of our three visits I have to say my favorite was brunch. Â Now, as every good gay boy, brunch is the highlight of my week so I may be biased, but taking such a good evening/night vibe and crowd and slapping some sun and good food on it is enough to make me giddy. We were served in a delightfully familial style by Amelia and her team of Felicias ("We are all Felicia"). I had a delicious fritatta of horicort verts, onions, and dill creme fraiche and my friend had a great blend of fruit and granola. Â We finished with a strawberry and rhubarb cupcake with goat cheese frosting... GOAT CHEESE FROSTING! Â If that wasn't the most clever frosting I've ever had, I'm a goat myself. Â Alright, I'm getting rowdy. Â Time to wrap up:
Pros:
50's decor
Very welcoming staff
An obvious passion for good (local) food and mixology (tons of infused liquors)
Great crowd
Did I mention the goat cheese frosting?
Cons:
I didn't get laid
