"There are cocktail bars where you feel out of place if you’re not wearing summer wedding attire and discussing your upcoming trip to Tulum, and then there’s Backbar. At this speakeasy behind Field & Vine you’ll feel like you should be wearing jeans and a hoodie because you’re just hanging out in the living room of a friend - one who just happens to be design-conscious, obsessed with Star Wars, and makes fantastic cocktails. If you like to drink, you need to come here for things like the Golden Eagle, a highball with tequila, mezcal, orange, lime, and cinnamon." - dan secatore
