The Brixton opens Friday, January 14 in San Francisco's Cow Hollow (Marina) neighborhood. Here is the menu, courtesy of Adam Snyder (Taverna Aventine, The Ambassador).
I haven't seen this much vodka on a new drink menu in years. But hey, it's the Marina and people are going to order it whether you put in on the menu or not.

Is Vermouth the reason I keep getting an unfamiliar drink when I ask for a Sazerac? Rye and Vermouth rings a bell as a combo though…

It's highly unusual to use vermouth in a Sazerac as they list here. Usually it's whisky, bitters, sugar, and absinthe.

That was kind of my point. I've been experimenting with going back to Brandy for a Sazerac. Far superior in my opinion to Rye or Bourbon.
