Gin-focused, reasonably-priced cocktail bar with Malort on tap. Listen to Motown while eating the most garlicky fries ever. Everyone in the bar gets a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie at midnight.

Not exactly in the neighborhood, but one of my favorite cozy bars, with amaro on tap and wooden checkerboards built in to the tables. Pretty small, so it gets cramped on the weekends!
