"It’s worth planning ahead to score a seat at one of the handful of tables at this speakeasy inside RailBird Kitchen (stop in for the buttery, crispy lobster fritters before or after your reservation). The petite, low-lit space combines Old Town’s nautical flavor—there’s a canoe hung from the ceiling—with elegant, thin-stemmed Art Deco barware. Their cocktail menu is firmly rooted in the classics, but more creative drinks like the brandy-based Pathological Playa Hater served in a tiki glass make seasonal appearances. If you forget to make a reservation, they also keep a running waitlist for walk-ins, though that can stretch past an hour on the weekends." - madeline weinfield
