A new cocktail bar in Old Worthington?! I’m in! Last week Wolf’s Ridge at the Worthington Inn opened the Wolf’s Den, a cozy little subterranean haunt offering a special cocktail menu, Wolf’s Ridge beers, wines, and small plates.
It’s really delightful to see this space activated once again.
During the restaurant’s previous iteration, which closed at the end of 2018, the downstairs bar was used as an event space and for occasional cocktail pop-ups. The team revamped the space, including new paint and fixtures, new flooring, expanding the bar (while keeping that beautiful bar top), adding more seating.
The menu for the Wolf’s Den features small plates, desserts, wines, beers, and cocktails (including low proof versions). The Den Cocktails is unique compared to the cocktail menu upstairs. (Which means you’ll have to hit up the main restaurant and bar for my favorite cocktail, A La Louisiane.)
I tasted the Bastille Door with rye whiskey, sweet potato, and spiced bitters. A wonderful, warming cocktail perfect for fall and winter.
Beth had the zesty Persephone’s Kiss with tequila, mezcal, pomegranate, fresco chili, cointreau, and lime.
There are all sorts of cozy little corners tucked into the space.
The Wolf’s Den is open Thursday, 4-10 p.m.; Friday-Saturday, 4-11 p.m.; and Sunday, 4-10 p.m. Seating is first come, first served!
Get another glimpse at the main restaurant, Wolf’s Ridge at Worthington Inn!
