"Ferndale’s worst-kept secret hides in plain sight at the Oakland Art Novelty Company, a mainstay on Nine Mile since 2011. The Oakland’s staff whips up classic speakeasy cocktails alongside a dozen or so house specialties, like the Green Badu, with Thai basil, gin, green Chartreuse, and a smattering of summery vegetable ingredients. This spot is mostly for walk-ins, but larger groups should consider calling ahead." - Mickey Lyons
