The Tipsy Pig

Description:

• Named for English swine who get serendipitously swerved off rotten apples, Tipsy's a gastro-tavern comprised of several distinct chowing zones, the be-what-you-want-it-to-be vision of the Mamacita/Umami guys and a Foreign Cinema chef. Hit the brick-backed, tin ceiling original bar (built in 1931), or proceed to the "living room" with its huge leather banquettes, old English photos, and pig trinkets; beyond those lies the intimate "library" (complete w/ hobbit stove and classics-stocked bookcase) and a 50-seat patio lined with trees whose fruits'll be used by the kitchen -- source your food any more locally, and you'll be eating a pan. The tuned-up pub grub's exemplified by starters like pulled pork sloppy sliders and roasted bone marrow w/ crushed gigante beans, plus hearty mains like beer-battered mahi-mahi and daily changing meat pies that could be beef or pork.
