Description
MixologistGreg Seider is behind this democratic loungehandsome with blue-velvet banquettes and a black-granite barfor serious drinkers. The menu includes classics like a peppery old-fashioned, and more-creative tipples, including the whiskey-driven Govner (yuzu, orange juice and cardamom-infused agave syrup). As much as Seiders inventiveness succeeds, it can also go off the rails, as in the She Loves Mei She Loves Mei Not, overly perfumed with rose petals and Szechuan-peppercorn–infused agave. Nonetheless the bars accessibility and willingness to experiment set it apart in the crowded cocktail field.
