Henry Social Club

423 Washington St. | 812-799-1371 | henrysocialclub.com

Henry Social Club is dis- tinctively appointed and designed to give the patron a sense of being a spectator in the creation of the food »and drink being served. The establishment’s most dis- tinctive hot drink, Spanish coffee, definitely fosters that sense of up-close witnessing of the creation process. “It’s a recipe I’ve adapted from one of the bars in which I worked in Portland, Oregon,” says operations manager Amy Holmes. “In Portland, everybody has a version of Spanish coffee.” In the Henry Social Club take, “Bacardi 151 rum is lit afire as it’s added to coffee,” says Holmes. “Then we shake a little nutmeg and cinnamon on top. Then we add a little Triple Sec and a little Kahlua, and top it with whipped cream and spices.” Spanish coffee and Irish coffee are listed on the des- sert menu year-round. Some- times, the restaurant intro- duces seasonal hot drinks as the weather changes. In past years, it has offered mulled wine and hot cider. “We try things based on the availabil- ity of local ingredients, such as locally produced maple syrup,” says Holmes.

The addition to that lineup that has manager Clark Simons particularly excited this year is the Hot Butter Cup. “This cocktail will feature Skrewball Peanut Butter Whis- key, Baileys Irish Cream and hot chocolate topped with whipped cream,” he says. “Skrewball is a brand new product out of California that can’t be found easily. It’s a deliciously flavored, melt-in-your-mouth, peanut butter whiskey. It’s smooth, creamy flavor paired with the cream of Baileys will create the instant taste of a peanut butter cup, hence the name. This new hot cocktail should become an instant classic.” This family of beverages also includes the Nutty Irishmen. “This is Baileys Irish Cream, Frangelico hazelnut liqueur and coffee topped with whipped cream. This coffee drink is a mel- low, nice taste where the hazelnut accents well with the coffee, and the Baileys and whipped cream smooth out the finish of this fea- tured cocktail. It’s quite mouth- watering and body warming.” Simons also mentions the XL Royale, which “features Patron XO, Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur and coffee topped with whipped cream. The Patron XO is a coffee-flavored tequila with a sweet finish. This tequila meshes right with the coffee, and the white chocolate Godiva is a perfect accent to create a sweet, chocolate, creamy feel to this Hot Butter Cup cocktail.”

we wanted to be on the lake, we liked being close to the interstate, it’s a flat lot, and as we’ve found out it had a lot of potential for customizing,” Brandon says of the six-bedroom, three-bathroom home. Light tones pervade the main level, including shiplap planking in the main dining area flanking a 1980s-style fireplace that Brandon up- dated via some light staining. Quartz countertops and refinished painted oak cabinets in the kitchen add to the home’s bright, bouncy feel, reflecting plenty of natural sunlight. “We were stumped on what to do with the big wall around the fireplace, and I think the shiplap makes it feel more cozy and brings the room together,” Carley says. “We refinished all the original flooring, which we like. We kept a lot of the character of the original house and just modernized it.” After the dining room revisions came a few light refreshes for the main level bathroom, including fresh paint for the cabinets as well as a new vanity top and sinks. For the master bedroom, Carley decided to keep it simple with a few updates like a faux fireplace and board- and-batten treatment for the main wall. “If I had to categorize, I’d say the style is leaning toward modern farmhouse,” Carley says of the home’s overall aesthetic. “We don’t have a lot of the chippy paint and things like that, but we have the metal and wood and the white elements. Over time we definitely found our style as we went along with each project and came up with ideas of how to make something work in a room.”

Columbus Magazine 39 wedding

Alyson Halterman & Lars Feste Ceremony at the Inn at Irwin Gardens; reception at The Commons Sept. 1, 2019

Alyson Halterman was born and raised in Columbus and met her future husband, Lars Feste, five years ago at Indiana University. “He was participating in my sorority’s philanthropy event — a male talent show,” she said. “Each year the participants are paired up with a senior in our house to do a fun, entertaining opening dance. I begged the choreographer to ‘just pair me with a good partner.’ Lars was the obvious pick. While it wasn’t quite love at first sight, I admired a number of things about him immediately.” Lars was part of Another Round, IU’s all-male, a cappella group. After the show, the students went to the Bluebird, a local bar, to celebrate, and Another Round performed again. “During their performance, Lars winked at me from the stage. And the rest is history. He completely denies that wink, but trust me, it happened,” Alyson said. “I managed to get her phone number at the after- party and spent the next several months trying to continue to charm her any way I could,” Lars said. “It was getting close to Alyson’s graduation day. I expressed that I’d like to meet her family, my final effort to lock her in before she moved to Minneapolis for her job and left me behind to finish my senior year at IU. “The patience required for long distance was well worth it, and we are so excited to continue our journey as husband and wife,” he said. Lars proposed during a family vacation in Cape May, New Jersey, last July. “I suggested that we go take a walk on the beach because it was such a gorgeous night. In the back of my mind, I was waiting for Alyson to ask why my hand had been in my pocket for the past hour. I walked her near a lifeguard stand where I stopped and asked the question. We spent the next 45 minutes on the lifeguard stand, laughing and soaking in the moment.” “When we returned to the vacation home, my mother, father and sister were there to greet us, as well as his family. It was a complete surprise,” Alyson said. The wedding ceremony was outdoors at Irwin Gardens. At the reception, a band from Chicago played and Another Round performed a few songs, which was a huge crowd pleaser and a fun reunion for the members, Alyson said. “I was overwhelmed with happiness. Having all of the closest people in our lives there to support and love us was indescribable. The entire day was filled with joy,” she said. The couple took their honeymoon in France, where they explored Paris, Corsica and the French Riviera.
