Streetside Grille’s The Streetside

Bottoms Up

By Lynda Wheatley | May 14, 2022

Doesn’t matter if Streetside Grille’s glass garage doors are rolled up or down: Sipping the Suttons Bay bar and eatery’s signature cocktail makes you feel like you’re on a spring picnic. Bubbly club soda and sweet Chambord mingle with a generous shot of our favorite botanically bodacious gin, Hendrick’s, in the Streetside ($10). Hendrick's floral, juniper, and citrus notes always strike right on the tongue but seem to come to the forefront here when sitting pretty with Chambord’s sweet and a squeeze of tart lemon. We paired ours with the day’s special, a triple-play plate of very generously filled and flavorful fish tacos. If you’re not lucky enough to show up on a day they do, go for the also-picnic-perfect BLT, which holds a heap of bacon stacked so high that not one in our group managed more than half in one sitting.
