"The Drifter is a rare find—a bar-within-a-bar speakeasy without ego that nevertheless focuses on craft and high-quality ingredients. It's inside the Green Door Tavern, a bar built in 1872 that actually was a speakeasy back in the '20s. This place takes cocktail geeky to another level. The menu, which appears on 40-plus custom cut tarot cards, changes every night, as head bartender Liz Pearce draws six to eight cocktails from the deck. Meticulously crafted sips include a chocolate negroni, a brandy milk punch with cayenne tincture, and a pisco-forward drink utilizing rhubarb shrub and spice-pickled berries. They've also got a limited selection of wine and beer." - Brad Japhe
