After a quick refresh of their Napa restaurant Terra, chef-owners Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani have converted a dining room into Bar Terra. Here, the zinc-topped bar serves as the focus, with seasonal cocktails by Andrew Salazar. His take on lesser-known classics like the Brooklyn (High West Rye Whiskey, sweet vermouth, maraschino liqueur and orange bitters) as well as originals like the Mami Gato (El Tesoro Reposado Tequila, Campari, Lillet Blanc and yuzu juice) are the sort of drinks that encourage an appetite. The bar menu features small dishes such as fragrant, plump kibbe balls and creamy duck liver mousse. Or simply loosen your tie and linger: The full dining room menu is also available, including Terra’s signature tripe and bean stew.
