Here's where to sip on fancy cocktails in the Tri-Cities

It’s always five o-clock somewhere, right?

That is to say, there’s never a wrong time to enjoy a delicious cocktail, whether that’s an orange mimosa with brunch or an aperitivo to kick off a late night dinner. And though we all love a good gin and tonic or vodka martini, sometimes we want something more.

Here are some cocktail bars in the Tri-Cities for those in search of a tasty beverage and, perhaps, your new go-to.
