On Saturday June 13 we celebrate 5yrs of !!! We want to share our love for Havana with all of you with a Night in Havana. Jazz, cocktails, 50s style luxury. We will have shucking oysters to toast the celebrations and our fav to blow your minds with his magic!!! with a jazz trio, also is Jazz & Cocktails with live piano.
To fundraise for our dear friends in Cuba who are suffering a castastrophic loss of jobs and resources, leaving them without basic needs we will donate $1 from every cocktail sold on June 13, any donation for the cause are welcome as well!
Thank you to the people of the city of Stratford and surrounding areas, and also visitors from Toronto and around the world. The Relic Lobby Bar was a humble dream that wouldn’t be possible without the love, respect, and appreciation of our customers. To our staff through the years and our current staff that are all a part of this dream they have helped to build, we are bonded forever, you like it or not….!
To our families and friends thank you for your love, support, and comprehension! ❤️
Special shout out to our brother who really went out of his way many years ago because he believed in us so blindly to create one of the coolest spots in Stratford, ON.

The Brooklyn
Rye whiskey, dry vermouth, maraschino liqueur, Bigallet China-China Amer

A member of the family of cocktails named for the boroughs of New York City, the Brooklyn often takes a back seat to its far more famous cousins, the Manhattan and Bronx cocktails. But this elegant classic, essentially a modified Manhattan with a touch of Martinez, has gained favor in recent years and has even been spun off into a number of riffs named after the borough’s distinct neighborhoods, including the Red Hook, Greenpoint and several more. 

The Brooklyn cocktail first appeared in print in 1908, in Jacob “Jack” Grohusko’s Jack’s Manual. Several cocktail experts attribute its falling out of favor in the meantime to its use of a relatively obscure component. The original version of the recipe called for Amer Picon, a French aperitif, but it’s of limited availability in Canada and can be difficult to find. If you can’t get your hands on any, Frank Caiafa, the author of the updated version of “The Waldorf Astoria Bar Book,” suggests Bigallet China-China Amer. If that, too, proves elusive, two dashes of Angostura bitters can make an acceptable substitute in a pinch.

Nui Nui

house blend rum, orange, lime, cinnamon & vanilla syrup, allspice dram, angostura bitters

Don the Beachcomber was notoriously secretive about the ingredients in his drinks and went to great lengths to keep them hidden from other bartenders. Fortunately, Jeff “Beachbum” Berry unlocked the recipe behind Don’s classic Tiki cocktail, the Nui Nui, which brims over with island rum and spices.

Summer is coming and certainly the life in Stratford will change dramatically to a more busy, and hectic pace, but will also bring the weather that we love, a lot of visitors, new & old friends, amazing cocktails, good food and live music.
Let life bring us the joy and experiences that come along with the journey, because we are so lucky to call this place home!
