Local restaurants attached to craft beer and breweries have become commonplace in the area, but what about an eatery designed for those who love a good Moscow Mule cocktail? Copper cup lovers, have no fear, House of Mules is coming to Folsom.
House of Mules is a new eatery and bar that will specialize in Moscow Mule cocktails. The the unique establishment is opening soon at 13385 Folsom Boulevard in the Folsom Creek retail center where it will fill a 3,444 square foot space once occupied by La Bou Bakery, which closed over a year ago.
House of Mules comes to live thanks to business partners Ravi Ram and Lovey Sidho. The duo has long been behind the well-known Kick’ Mule Sports Bar in West Sacramento, which is a similar concept to that of the new Folsom restaurant that will have a big focus on fresh eats, in addition to a menagerie of those beloved “Mules.”
According to Sidho, the company will not have any on site freezers, so everything will be made fresh on daily basis. While the two operations will be completely separate, Sidhu cites the Folsom restaurant will be similar to the West Sacramento Kick’n Mule when it comes to its menu that will feature a variety of appetizers, burgers, pastas and rotational specials.
Along with the many tasty eats, will be an impressive selection of its signature cocktail. Moscow Mules are concocted of ginger beer, vodka and lime juice and have been traditionally served in copper mugs since it was born in 1941 in Manhattan from inside New York’s Chatham Hotel.
“We are going to have a lot of mimosas for weekend brunch and will have a variation of over 25 different Moscow mules,” said Sidhu.
At this time a grand opening date has year to be announced as construction is still underway, but that information is, “coming soon,” according to the restaurant Facebook page.
