"Step into this Heights cocktail bar, where bold peacock-inspired décor sets the stage for a lively night of cocktails. Kick things off with a Mexican Candy shot, lined with Tajín for a spicy twist, or cool down with Tommy’s Margarita, a smooth blend of reposado tequila, agave, and lime juice. Those with a sweet tooth will love the Home Sweet Home, a cozy mix of apples, bananas, cinnamon, and turbinado, topped with pumpkin cold foam and a dusting of nutmeg. Complement your drinks with indulgent small plates like bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with rich Stilton cheese or deviled eggs served atop avocado mash and brioche toast." - Marcy de Luna

"Plume is a new cocktail bar in Shady Acres. You can expect a full bar menu of champagne by the bottle, green tea shots, and in-house cocktails with pun-forward names like “Chai and Catch Me.” Plus, you can get a few light bites—like dates wrapped in bacon and shrimp and snapper ceviche marinated in passion fruit—to go along with your punny drinks." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
