The Chestnut Club

Longtime restaurant cocktail consultants Steve Livingi and Pablo Moix’s The Chestnut Club is a stripped-down lounge where bare brick walls and antique fixtures lend a certain dignified air. The club is not only home to a stunning collection of old and rare spirits—some which cost hundreds of dollars per glass—but a sharp list of spartan cocktails, like The Diamondback Lounge (Rye, Applejack and Yellow Chartreuse) and the Brighton Racecourse (a lavender-and-grapefruit-scented Gin and Tonic).
