Don’t be fooled by the LED-lit disco floor and Jameson-Fireball shots on draft; this clubbish subterranean cocktail lounge from the founders of New York’s Death & Co. packs plenty of skill behind its flamboyant veneer. The eclectic 50-strong drink list might include a buoyant tropical creation crowned with a house-made “fizzy lime tablet” or a pitch-perfect evocation of a root beer float made from vanilla-tinged Plantation rum. Group cocktails like the Scorpion Bowl laced with apple brandy and pitchers of Campari-topped piña coladas provide the liquid courage necessary to transform your happy hour stop-in into all-night dance party.
