"You'll transport to a smokier, sultrier, more mysterious time and place when you step inside this dazzling nightlife destination. The design of the bar is nearly as dramatic as that of the elaborately curtained stage, commanded nightly by a serious lineup of local and national musicians—and all in all, sipping Champagne in the violet glow of the spotlight, you can’t help but savor the feeling you’ve been dropped into a scene in some old film noir. That bar doesn’t just sit there looking good. Built on an ample collection of spirits, it rises to the occasion—because every evening here is an occasion—with classic cocktails such as a Boulevardier featuring a proprietary barrel of Knob Creek as well as stylish originals laced with the likes of rice milk, clarified tomato, and poached-quince syrup." - Ruth Tobias
