The Oak Bar - Located in the Hermitage Hotel. The perfect spot to start your night with a martini before heading to Broadway or Printer's Alley. Be sure to sneak a peak in the men's bathroom while you are there, trust me.
Bastion - Located in Wedgewood-Houston. The bar adjacent to the amazing tasting menu restaurant serves some of the most creative cocktails. Pro tip: Order the nachos.
