"Opening a bar in 2021 is already a major feat, but Juniper took that accomplishment several steps further and became a thriving part of Forest Park. The gin-focused bar emphasizes both the spirit’s history and botanical nature, taking design notes from Victorian-era gin palaces and honoring plant life both indoors and out. Their outdoor space is more of a courtyard than a patio, and the interior walls are bedecked with floral arrangements and oil paintings. It’s the kind of place to impress someone who appreciates a good cocktail and aesthetics—Juniper’s so Instagrammable it’s constantly rented out or used as a venue for proposals." - Sarra Sedghi
