What People Are Saying About Sassafras International Cafe

Citysearch

In Short – Sassafras provides an unpretentious respite from the legions of Old City. A tin ceiling, tile floors and dressed-up staff make the bar here a perfect place to sit and nurse a martini. Dishes run the intercontinental gamut, from cheese tortellini to hummus and back to omelettes, with a few standouts such as the oddball verenlike (Mongolian version of Russian dumplings). Stick with burgers--beef, lamb, or ostrich--with a selection of cheesesand sauces.

Best gimlets in town.

by jossfan23

Always have a great time at Sass. I love the fireplace in the winter & you have to check out the upstairs bathroom.

  • Pros: gimlets
  • Cons: weekend evening crowds

Best classic bar in town

by m_

This is _the_ place to get excellent old-fashioned drinks, carefully prepared, and great classic burgers and fries. None of the "international" food ever looked v enticing to me, but if I were a vegetarian, I'd just go with a huge side order of fries. The place is completely unpretentious, with wonderful old tiles and an open fireplace that actually has a fire in the winter. Usually, it draws a very agreeable mixed crowd. The music is always good and unobtrusive. While there, don't forget to take a look at the upstairs bathroom.

  • Pros: atmosphere, drinks and food, service
  • Cons: None

Ah...Sass

by beccaroon

This is absolutely the best of the bunch. With a zillion bars to choose from I keep going back to Sass. No scene, great vibe and great look . Really comfortable. Can't say a bad thing about the place. Good drinks, good beers, and good food.

  • Pros: food and drinks, comfortable, inexpensive
