Think of The Pastry War as a PR firm for traditionally made agave spirits. If the spirit’s agave piñas aren’t roasted in a stone oven and ground under the stone wheel of a tahona, chances are it isn’t on offer here. Owner Bobby Heugel has personally visited most of the distilleries that provide the bar’s small-batch bottles, and is passionate about helping to preserve not only those singular beverages, but the singular way of life that surrounds them. That means you’ll be drinking your mezcal out of clay copitas alongside sal de gusano y naranjas—toasted worm salt with orange slices—a traditional Oaxacan accompaniment.
