"Manhattan Bar is equal parts sultry and cozy, with dark lighting and oversized leather Chesterfields spread throughout. The drinks are stellar without being pretentious—almost all house originals, including an extensive rick house with dozens of barrel-aged drinks—and the staff members are some of the best in town. Surprisingly it draws more of a vodka-soda crowd during the week, which could work to your advantage if you're a more passionate cocktailian." - Naren Young
