"It's called Shift Drinks for a reason: Its location downtown means workers from all walks of life—from businesspeople, to restaurant servers—stop in for a post-work tipple. Some are invested in their cocktails, others are just grabbing a quick beer, and others still are picking up a bottle of wine to bring home. The drinks, usually bright and botanical, are often classics that have been given a contemporary spin. During happy hour, which runs all day, you can find the barrel-aged spirit of the month—sometimes a whiskey, other times tequila, or rum, or even brandy—for $5 a pour, as well as a $7 speciality drink of the month." - Alexander Frane
