The School House Kitchen and Libations: Part 2

I rather liked the decor.  It wasn't crowded when I was there.  So, I tinkered a bit with natural light, trying to get an increase in the depth of field.  Not bad for hand holding the camera!

Ohh..this reminds me, I need a Gin and Tonic!

Very refreshing on a hot day!

I liked the various schoolhouse items used to decorate the bar.  The back room, the Library, was filled with books.

When I travel, I like to stop in at various bars.  I have a drink.  But I really like the color combinations and decor.

This is the SchoolHouse Kitchen and Libations in Arvada, CO.   If you are looking for scotch, this is one cool place.
