About the restaurant
At Liquor Pig, cocktails and cuisine - like anything worth savoring - is an art form. Guided by the culinary creativity of Executive Chef Chops, each dish is thoughtfully crafted to celebrate seasonal ingredients and bold, inspired flavors. Owner Christina Foster imagined a place where hospitality feels like home. The result? An inviting, intimate space where comfort meets curiosity-where guests feel both surprised and welcomed.
General Manager Scott Casey, a certified sommelier and beverage specialist, elevates the experience even further. His curated wine and beverage program brings depth and sophistication to our intimate setting, offering pairing that complement Chef Chops menu perfectly. In a quaint restaurant, this level of attention to detail and expertise is unparalleled and it's what makes liquor pig something truly special.

My wife and I had an amazing dining experience celebrating our 1 year anniversary sat at the bar and Justin guided us through a foodie journey spread over 5 tastings and amazing beverages. If you appreciate fine dining and food art, I highly recommend Course! There were even some surprises included in our evening as well. :)
