"This East Village tiki bar is like a spring break horror movie, complete with neon signage, fake plants, and creepy sound effects (cue a werewolf howling in the distance). Somehow, it doesn’t feel tacky, thanks to a voodoo rock playlist and complex cocktails that are definitely not your average Mai Tai. Those cocktails mostly cost $20-$25 each, but some of them involve a tableside fire show, so offsetting the bar’s insurance premium seems a small price to pay. Try the Chaos Magick with rum, liqueurs, coffee, and Moroccan spices, or the smoking Bottomless Pit—and get a few snacks to share. There are plenty of conversation-starters for a date, large-format cocktails for groups, and a rum list for the booze nerds." - Bryan Kim, Will Hartman, Willa Moore, Sonal Shah
