"When conceptualizing the Pinky Ring, Bruno Mars aimed to recreate the vibe of his own living room. Assuming his home is rife with ’70s-era wall decor, mirrored surfaces, and velvety loveseats tucked inside a sunken conversation pit — then he excelled. Bartenders shake and stir excellent signature cocktails like a spicy margarita called the Hooligan. Most nights, bands take the stage, plying visitors out of their seats and onto the middle of the sunken room, right in front of the band. Mars makes a cameo some nights if he’s playing a show. But even without the surprise appearance, the combination of stylish digs, groovy jazz music, and an enforced no-phones-allowed policy make the Pinky Ring a reliably fun night out." - Janna Karel
