"With swings hanging from the ceiling and plants (and fake plants) “growing” from the rafters, Walden looks like a patio or a garden, but it's a neighborhood bar through and through. There are paintings of flowers on the walls, cozy booths, and a large bar with tons of seating. The cocktails are made with spirits that will look familiar to cocktail nerds: Hangar 1 Vodka, Monkey Shoulder Scotch, Bahnez Mezcal. Everything is purposeful and carefully considered, but not at all pretentious." - Margaret Littman
