Bottle Rocket

What it is

Bottle Rocket is a sushi, grill and cocktails restaurant at 231 Mitchell Street SW in South Downtown. Owners Josh Calvin and Bonny McKinnon say it has been open since 2011 and started as a Castleberry Hill hangout.

Food and drink

The menu mixes Japanese bar food with comfort plates. Starters include edamame, tuna tataki, house-made crab rangoon and a large vegetarian egg roll. From the grill come a black angus Bottle Rocket Burger with a Korean BBQ marinade, a flatiron steak, wings and Japanese fried chicken. There is a build-your-own poke bowl, plus a long list of sushi rolls and hand rolls. The drink menu covers draft and bottled beer, wine, vodka seltzers and cocktails.
