The Bourbon Room, 8 Caroline St., a new Saratoga Springs bar, opened in June\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By Dave Windsheimer<\/p>\n

The Bourbon Room, at 8 Caroline St.,
\na new Saratoga Springs bar, opened on
\nJune 13 with a charity event benefitting
\nthe Ballston Spa-based Gateway House of
\nPeace.<\/p>\n

Bourbon Room owners Jason and Rebecca
\nSouthwood, who also own the neighboring
\nPaddock Lounge at 6 Caroline St., say
\ntheir new establishment has the nostalgic
\nfeel of an old Saratoga tavern.<\/p>\n

Guests can sip a favorite libation under
\nthe building’s original 14-foot high tin
\nceiling that has been restored to its initial
\ncopper color. Also intact is an original
\nbrick wall that was once the exterior of a
\nneighboring structure.<\/p>\n

Other rustic focal points are a 22-foot
\nhandcrafted bar, a marble fireplace, a
\ncentury-old re-purposed barn wood door,
\nsome 150-year-old hardware from an old
\ncoal door that was found in the basement
\nand a floor tiled with pennies.<\/p>\n

“We believed that the space was quite
\nunique, that it held a lot of character and
\nthat an equally unique establishment would
\nbe a great addition to Caroline Street as
\nwell as to the downtown Saratoga experience,”
\nsaid Rebecca Southwood.<\/p>\n

As the name of the new tavern suggests,
\nthe Bourbon Room will feature a wide
\nchoice of bourbon whiskies. Bartenders
\nare trained in the history of the corn-based
\nspirit believed to have first been distilled in
\nthe southern U.S. over 300 years ago.<\/p>\n

Liquor wholesalers Empire Merchants
\nNorth will provide training to bartenders
\nin such topics as what constitutes a bourbon
\nand how it is distinguished from other
\nspirits as Tennessee, Canadian, Scotch and
\nIrish whiskey.<\/p>\n

Patrons are also able to choose from a
\nselection of draft beers with the tavern’s
\n“pour-your-own” system, where customers
\ncan draw their own beverage. The Bourbon Room features a Southern-inspired food
\nmenu with bourbon-based sauces that will
\ncomplement its signature drink.<\/p>\n

Bourbon’s opening-day charity event for
\nthe Gateway House was in keeping with the
\nSouthworth’s fundraising efforts at the Paddock
\nLounge. Some 40 percent of the Paddock’s
\ngross revenues every Saturday from
\n6 to 9 p.m. are donated to various causes.<\/p>\n

Gateway House is a 501(c) (3) charitable
\norganization which works with Community
\nHospice of Saratoga. It provides a safe,
\ncomfortable and caring home free of charge
\nfor terminally ill patients who can no longer
\nlive by themselves.<\/p>\n
