Captain Foxheart's Bad News Bar & Spirit Lodge

Cocktail bar · Downtown

@infatuation

"OK, so Bad News is only a rooftop by technicality, but the nearly unobstructed view of downtown along Main Street from its second-floor balcony is pretty spectacular. Plus, Bad News has some of the best cocktails—and bartenders—in town. The cocktail menu here updates seasonally, but there’s also a mind-numbingly long list of mezcals, amaros, absinthes, and just about everything else. Find Bad News Bar by first locating a line waiting for nothing in particular emanating from a blacked-out door marked for a lawyer’s office. Join them, and then head up. Just don’t trip on the narrow stairs heading up (or down). " - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
