"Mae’s Room is the cocktail bar the Grove desperately needed. It stands out as a slightly more sophisticated—but still approachable—spot in a neighborhood full of sticky-floored grunge bars. The booths are plush and the tables are lit with candles. They’re serving spirit-forward cocktails, the kind that require a fully formed frontal lobe to enjoy. That means penicillins, Negronis with absinthe, and pre-batched martinis that live in a freezer. And because it’s located right next door to its sister restaurantChuggie’s, you can eat french fries with your gin fizz." - Virginia Otazo
