"When the team from next-door speakeasy Code Red took over this beloved bar this year they added a first-floor speakeasy with moody purple lighting, signature takes on classic cocktails (the Last Word, the Naked and Famous, and the Paper Plane), and an array of yummy bar bites from upstairs. Visit this small speakeasy for a later happy hour from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., when house incubations are $8, the house lager is $5, and fresh oysters are only $18 by the dozen. — E.V." - Abi Newhouse
