Drinks & Nightlife
Its a history-rich 1907 Victoria era hall that has a warm, lodge like feel to it and extremely well-made prohibition era drinks. This is THE place to grab a drink if your waiting for a table at Toro Bravo, which is a tapas restaurant right below it, and also highly recommended. We love their sazerac and old-fashioned cocktails.
