"An homage to Ben Paris Cigars, Lunch & Cards, which was located in the basement of the Eitel Building (now the State Hotel), Ben Paris feels airy and effervescent — maybe because of the abundant natural light or the stylish, Accidentally Wes Anderson–worthy wallpaper. It’s the best indoor spot to have a drink while it’s still light out: happy hour runs 4 to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday with $10 martinis and Old Fashioneds and select wine bottles for $25. My favorite day drink is the Gin Griffey Juniper, a bold Spanish-style gin and tonic with a touch of berry shrub and a whole lot of actual berries and botanicals as garnish, served in a large goblet that’s indulgent yet refreshingly light." - Mark DeJoy
