"At The Coral Wing, you can sip on a tropical rum cocktail in a bar that looks vaguely like the inside of a ship’s lower deck. Easy to miss, this Mount Vernon spot is tucked to the side of the Hotel Ulysses, in the literal alley—look for the lanterns to find the entrance. Once inside, you’ll enjoy an oasis of classic cocktails with island twists, including mai tais and passion fruit mojitos. Sink back into a velvety chair that lines the walls, sip a painkiller, and imagine yourself lounging on the high seas amongst the fashionable patrons, hotel guests, and industry folks just off their shifts." - michele berry

"A moody, tropical-but-not-tiki lounge inspired by Manila officers’ clubs, where sunlit afternoons reveal Philippine mahogany-paneled walls and a hand-painted checkerboard floor and late nights become thrillingly dark and intimate. Cocktails match the shapeshifting space: try the Estate Martini, a rum-based riff on the ’90s pineapple martini with a kiss of Madagascar vanilla, or the aged rhum Carabao for a more ponderous, contemplative drink." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors
"It was also the first weekend that Lane's new place, The Coral Wig, was open, so one of the first things I did was, on Thursday night, I went down and parked myself at the bar."
"A beautiful bar with tropically leaning cocktails located in the back alley of Hotel Ulysses." - Jess Mayhugh
