"Drinking in the East Side bar’s outdoor garden feels like you’re in a Mexican backyard; wire fences covered in greenery neatly hem in plain dryscaping, picnic benches, and Texas-hardy plants. The bar specializes in cocktails made from agave spirits, including mezcals. There’s the La Sancha, an icy mezcal-based take on frosé; and Sun & Smoke, a mezcal-based Aperol spritz. For food, sibling restaurant mini-chain Taco Flats operates a food truck slinging tacos and botanitas. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Clara Wang
