brewmaster Scott Yarosh, cream sodas just aren’t what they used to be.
He attempts to recall the mellow, softer colas of the 1950s through a
distinctive brewing style that focuses on slow carbonation and
meticulously crafted flavors. Try the classic vanilla, orange and root
beer sodas ($2.95 on draft, $4 for 22-ounce bottles). (Hours: 10 a.m.-4
p.m., M-Sa)
