Great classic and creative cocktails in a space that feels both lux and relaxed. The interior is exposed brick with minimal decoration, the seating is a mixture of traditional tables, leather wingbacks, and the occasional lounge, and there are no TVs.

Arts & Culture

Go inside the memorial and up the long staircase for one of the most unusual interior spaces in the city. The third-floor Shrine Room is breathtaking and you'll almost always be the only one there.
