Burger Night at Old Man Bar

I’ve been grabbing the burger at Old Man Bar intermittently, and every time I’m there it’s slightly different. I really liked when they used to use a combo with Venison; the menu didn’t stipulate what was involved this time, but the gaminess that can come with it wasn’t there, felt more like a traditional all-beef burger.

This time, the burger had a horseradish aioli that balanced the richness nicely, while a whole slice of raw onion par cooked under the burger and caught all the juices that had been making it a bit of a mess. Still a little messy with the aioli, and the onion rings would separate with each bite, but an excellent update to what’s become a nice weekly occurrence attached to Hatchet Hall.

I got the shot and a beer with Donna’s because I’ve been meaning to try pickle beer – won’t be going back for that, but the Russell’s Reserve 8 yr bourbon and the Sazerac were both excellent, and the salt and pepper fries are a steal at $5 with housemade ketchup and aioli.
