Writers and booze have long been pals. This may be why a literary theme laces both the menu and the physical place that is 308. Book pages paper its bar and table tops beneath thick epoxy. Writer’s Block Shots spike the menu, Burroughs and Bukowski among them. For premium cocktails, small bites and atmosphere worth the bucks, 308 makes a perfect nightcap (open ‘til 3am) or happy-hour beginning. On beginnings, 308 was born when owner Alexis proposed to now husband Ben in hotel room No. 308 of Manhattan’s Ace Hotel. A refreshing twist indeed.
