Where: 620 8 Ave SW, 403-475-7226, thederrickyyc.com
What: Stephen Avenue’s newest restaurant offering a huge selection of gin, gin-focused cocktails and a creative menu in a fairly casual setting.
Price point: Moderate. Plates range between $13-$21 for lunch, which is typical for Stephen Avenue and the cocktail prices are on par with other booze-focused spots.
Pro: With 40+ bottles of gin behind the bar, anyone who loves gin as much as I do should be excited to check this place out. The menu also offers interesting dishes like a smoked beef tartare (that comes under a smoke-filled glass dome and a slightly elevated version of fried chicken with hominy.
Con: There are not many vegetarian options and the interior only had a mild revamp from the former concept, so it could look a little nicer.
