@cntraveler

"Set inside an Art Deco apartment building from 1927, this narrow bar channels old-school, Prohibition-era hotels, with plush furnishings and smart-looking vintage knick knacks. It could've come off corny, but here, it absolutely works. Cocktails lean heavy on rum, with drinks like the Stinger (Cognac, rum, and creme de menthe) and the Hotel Nacional (apricot liqueur, pineapple rum, and lime juice). Located in the Gold Coast, it's close to many of the city's most popular neighborhoods." - Brad Japhe
