686 Bar

"686 Bar is a hot spot cocktail bar located above Em." - David Shortell

"If you’re having dinner at Em, your next move should be a martini upstairs at 686 Bar. Waiters wear crisp white jackets, and there’s a bit of a 1950s energy to the very dark, moody, incense-heavy space. And while it doesn’t attempt to be a proper restaurant, they do make an extraordinary burger, which might be a good idea for a second dinner after you’ve had two or three of those martinis. Reservations are definitely recommended, so make one of those in advance." - guillaume guevara

"Located above EM (also on this list), 686 impeccably edits classic cocktails for a 2022 drinking audience. Enjoy pre- or post-dinner libations like the Aviator, a take on an Aviation made with Armonico gin, St. Germain, and citrus, or the much sought-after Negroni Sbagliato (which was on the menu here before the cocktail’s viral moment). If the drinks make you a bit hungry, indulge in fried chicken or roasted baby corn." - Natalia de la Rosa, Daniela Galarza
