One doesn’t expect to find a chic little spot like The Pompadour Bar & Tapas in an unfashionable little lakeside town like Fairport Harbor, but that where it opened in 2016, bringing signature cocktails and well-crafted small plates to an area better known for fish fries and working-class bars. With a nicely diverse list of shareables ranging in price from $6-$16, your table can sample a variety of tastes from warm citrus olives and sautéed spinach with apple, dried apricot, raisins, cranberries and pine nuts to octopus, lamb and pork belly. The bar provides artisan cocktails, wines from around the world, a lengthy selection of whiskeys and craft beers, many of them local.
