Elevated cocktails & New American nibbles in a dramatic space
"The stunning 1916 Beaux Arts space that houses this upscale Financial District favorite is a draw on its own, but it’s also a fantastic spot for a business lunch or professional happy hour. Rock crab dip on toasted baguette or tri-tip sliders laced with horseradish are popular choices for the post-work crowd. Of course, your visit wouldn’t be complete without a cocktail, so we recommend the Recuerdos, a pineapple-forward tipple made with Zacapa Rum No. 23, smoky lapsang souchong tea, maraschino liqueur, lime, Angostura bitters, and accented with a subtle hint of salinity." - Vox Creative
"Given that cocktails here are in the $15-$20 range, we would reserve this bar for a fancy-ish date, or any type of outing you can charge to the company. High ceilings, big windows, and expensive-looking lighting add to the upscale feel, and the menu has an interesting mix of cocktail names, ranging from the Illegal Trust (which has cold brew, for those of you who still have work to do later) to the gin-based Selfie." - will kamensky
"The Treasury is probably at its busiest around afternoon happy hour, but its best-kept secret is weeknights when the Financial District spot quiets down, and you can have one of the most beautiful cocktail bars all to yourself. The kitchen puts out consistently delicious small bites, and the cocktails are always thoughtfully prepared. Try pigs in a blanket paired with a Standard Oil (a drink that lies somewhere between a Manhattan and a Rusty Nail)."
"El Sombrerón is one of the most well-known characters of Guatemalan folklore, a goblin-like antagonist of cautionary tales. By contrast, the Sombrerón, served at this Latin-managed and -influenced Financial District lounge, is much more comforting: peach and lime brighten the drink while aged rum and apple brandy provide warmth, like a sweatshirt worn along the beach after sunset. And the foamy aquafaba finish adds a fun visual (unlike that of the drink’s titular bogeyman)." - Vox Creative
"When California banned smoking in bars, the state thankfully didn’t mean in the drinks themselves, like the aptly-named Smoke Show, which can be found at this beaux-art stunner of a cocktail lounge. Zacapa Rum gets paired with a stout whiskey, smoky demerara sugar, cherry bark bitters, and barrel stave smoke for an Old Fashioned with some flair, a little sweetness, and a touch of mystery. Pair it with the Treasury Pigs, the bar’s version of pigs in a blanket, for maximum effect." - Robert Spuhler
