"Built in a meticulously restored old firehouse, Southwest’s Eater Award-winning Ladder 4 wine bar has three spacious patios and a sprawling backyard, helping to amplify an already impressive space and menu. Indulge in one of the most exciting food menus in the city, developed by 2024 James Beard Award semifinalist chef John Yelinek, accented by an impressive wine list. Expect a rotation of compelling dishes like scallop crudo, country ham vinaigrette made with locally grown melon, or chicken neck sausage (with the head, beak, and all still attached). The spot also hosts live music events and tastings from the outdoor spaces. Reserve a table in the dining room on Resy." - Serena Maria Daniels
