The Wolf's Den opened Friday inside Wolf's Ridge at Worthington Inn, 671 N. High St. The space had not been operated by Wolf's Ridge since the brewery and restaurant opened in the building earlier this year.

"The Worthington Inn has always been a place for people to come together, and we wanted the Wolf's Den to build on that tradition," Bob Szuter, co-owner of Wolf's Ridge, said in a statement.

The lounge's cocktail list includes the Cosmo Noir, made with stone fruit vodka, cranberry, cinnamon, curaçao and lemon; Persephone's Kiss, with tequila, mezcal, pomegranate, Fresno chili, Cointreau and lime; and the Bastille Door, featuring rye whiskey, sweet potato and spiced bitters.

Shareable plates include Loaded Pub Chips with aged cheddar beer cheese, smoked bacon and scallions; Den Meatballs with caramelized onion and ale gravy; and a Sticky Toffee Sundae made with sticky toffee pudding and Irish whiskey ice cream. Draft beer and wine remain available alongside the cocktails.

"While beer will always be a big part of who we are, the Wolf's Den allows us to bring that same creativity and craftsmanship to cocktails," Szuter said. "It's another way for guests to enjoy the historic property, whether they're catching up with friends over a drink or looking for a new place to spend the evening."

Wolf's Ridge announced plans to move into the Worthington Inn last November and opened as Wolf's Ridge at Worthington Inn in April. The building has been a local landmark since 1831, and Wolf's Ridge was the first business to occupy the space since 2018.

The Wolf's Den is open Thursday from 4 to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 4 to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 4 to 10 p.m. More information is available at worthingtoninn.com.
