"Blagden Alley is already known for its secret-looking-not-so-secret restaurants and bars. Unlike its alley neighbors, Never Looked Better takes it a step further by having no sign. Your only clue is initials “NLB” spray-painted on a sticker-ladened entrance door. Once inside, and down a flight of stairs, you are transported to an early-aughts club atmosphere with neon light signs, tile backsplashes, and popular tracks playing at high volume. The menu features trendy cocktail options including spicy margaritas, mules, and the it-girl of the last few years: espresso martinis. Its version is one of the better (and stronger) ones in the city." - Abi Newhouse, Nicole Schaller
