The infusions are awesome. I got the Subtle Tea - lemon honey infused rum served hot in a champagne flute with lavender water. The other infusions looked amazing, I had such a hard time choosing.
We stopped in for drinks while waiting for Peter Haven's across the street to open at six. The atmosphere is relaxed, and it wasn't at all busy on a Saturday night which I liked a lot.
Metropolis Wine Bar is THE place to head for an amazing drink and a sweet social scene in Brattleboro Vermont. While you can order from their ever changing beer selection, or get a great martini just the way you like it; the custom created infusions are one part of what keeps folks coming back again and again, both locals and those on a journey whenever they happen to pass through town. My favorite is the Pink Lady... a lychee fruit topped infusion served in a martini glass that I have to force myself to take slowly.
With a wine club for regulars to the bar, a comfortable and quiet downstairs lounge, and a great easy-going atmosphere and staff, it is amazing that they also provide one of the few places in the region to go and dance on Thursday nights, with an exuberant and welcoming crowd and great music!
I left my love of bars behind me somewhere in my 20's, but I still love a good lounge.... so friendly and casual and classy and private... if I am in Brattleboro, this is where you will find me!
