Uptown may seem to have grown up fast, but the nightlife hang outs in this neighborhood like Somar are deeply rooted in the community. This place is sleek, infused with a local vibe. The narrow space hides a rockin' dance floor at the back, with choice DJs at the helm and friendly bartenders pouring above-average drinks. The house cocktail menu is unique it is sure to be inspiring for mixology enthusiasts. The popular Somar Fizz is tequila with St. Germaine, lime, and basil. The Uptown Sour is a vibrant stir of Bulleit bourbon, St. Germain, lemon juice and Fee Brothers Peach Bitters. The Poinsettia is just one of their many seasonal specials, made up of champagne, orange liquor, simple syrup and cranberry juice. Somar hosts parties and is a go-to celebration spot for New Years and other holidays where revelries are on the menu.
