"Run For The Roses is the creation of White Lies co-founder Steven Waters. Vintage on the spirits and mirrors, roses behind the bar climbing a wall fresco, and oxblood and navy across the tufted leather seating — Waters calls it baroque meets brutalist. The cocktails will mostly be classic and the food will be upscale-easy from deviled eggs to pickles, preserves, and tinned seafood. One menu item is sure to be a late-night craver: read spam and egg and potato bun breakfast sandwich. After an elevator ride down and a long hallway lined with living greenery, the entrance to RFTR will be a ticket booth, the menu will be on playing cards, and private lockers will store event passes and giveaways." - Josie Sexton
