"Despite being semi-difficult to find, this backroom bar behind Arroyo Club in Highland Park always seems to have the right amount of people inside (busy, but not overcrowded). This intimate brick-walled bar has a nightly DJ spinning hip-hop and early 2000s R&B records in the corner, and the cocktails are all geeky in the best way, made with things like green salt and honeysuckle-washed gin. We like to come whenever Gold Line gets too busy or for a nightcap situation after a date." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
