Midnight Rambler

"This bar in the basement of Joule Hotel has the holy trinity for lingering over a cocktail: plush bar stools, cozy booths, and warm lighting. The drinks range from creative riffs—like the savory Manhattan, with Terry Black’s brisket-infused sweet vermouth—to the truly wacky: a freestanding “Jell-O shot” that looks exactly like a deviled egg but tastes like a Miami Vice. Go early if you want to have an intimate conversation, because this place turns into a party once the DJs show up." - kevin gray

"Located beneath the Joule Hotel, Midnight Rambler is a classy haven for well-made cocktails, warm hospitality, and great music, and it is regularly noted as one of the best hotel bars in America. The cocktail program is ever-changing, and the staff will help you find your perfect drink. It is Downtown, so valet at the Joule (that’s easy to get validated) or pick a nearby parking garage for a minimal fee. When special events are happening, a reservation may be required." - Courtney E. Smith, Kevin Gray

"At this swanky subterranean bar, drinks are catered toward the cocktail crowd. Esoteric infusions and shrubs are menu staples, and Midnight Rambler Bar serves classics correctly, like a Filthy Martini with olive-infused vermouth, lacto-fermented onions, and a healthy sidecar of olives. None of that detracts from the bar’s ability to make you want to get up from your leather booth and dance. Regular DJs are always on rotation, and the cocktail menu accounts for that with thoughtful shot pairings." - Kate Dingwall
