"The Cruise Room opened the day Prohibition ended, celebrating the same way most Prohibition days had been celebrated—with lots of booze. Nearly a century later, not much has changed at the Oxford Hotel’s classic martini bar, and that’s a good thing. The mood is still sexy mid-century modern, and the drinks are heavy on the spirits, light on the syrups. Yes, it can be a little red light special-y with the constant crimson neon lighting, but it adds to the time capsule feel. We prefer to skip the wall of booths and instead grab a stool at the long, svelte bar." - allyson reedy
