"Find Bad News Bar by locating a line Downtown snaking outside of a blacked-out door marked for a lawyer’s office. Join in—that wait’s only about 20 minutes on a busy night—then head up to a dark, shotgun-style bar with a heavy wood bar top, like you just wandered into a second-floor saloon that inexplicably plays loud, obscure indie music. The cocktail menu here updates seasonally, but there is also a long list of mezcals, amaros, and absinthes, which the bartenders seem to combine every single one into inventive drinks that get made in record time. It’s also one of the only bars Downtown with a balcony and great views." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
