Sunny Evenings at the 1897 Brunswick Bar

After exploring the Puyallup River trails or browsing local shops on Main Street, stopping in for a handcrafted mixed drink is a beloved Sumner ritual. Our bartenders focus on crisp balance, fresh fruit juices, and classic European aperitifs that awaken your palate before dinner.

Top Summer Selections to Sip This Season

  1. The Botanical Empress Gin Fizz: Featuring botanical gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh Meyer lemon juice, and a splash of effervescent club soda.
  2. Rosemary Blood Orange Paloma: Tequila reposado married with tart blood orange juice and house-made rosemary simple syrup.
  3. Italian Limoncello Spritz: House-infused sweet lemon liqueur topped with dry Prosecco and fresh garden mint leaves.
