Citrus and Cane

Downtown Fodor's choice

Whether you're a colada aficionado or some who goes for the classics like daiquiris or a Manhattan, this cocktails-only late night spot delivers a top-notch selection. All syrups are made in-house and nearly all juices are freshly squeezed. Drinks are on the pricey side but with over 40 rums alone, some might even suggest it's a tropical paradise of Mai Tais and Mojitos.

Little Jumbo

Downtown
Well-executed farm-to-fork small plates and possibly the city's longest list of spirits are draws at this welcoming little spot, tucked away off Fort Street. Authenticity and the eco-ethos is serious business here: even the water served with the single malts is imported from the Highlands and cocktails come with glass straws.

The Palms Lounge

Downtown
Signature cocktails (the bartenders get bylines on the menu), tapas, and charcuterie plates makes the Hotel Rialto's hip cocktail lounge a chic after-work gathering venue. In addition to craft beers on tap, drinks include creative custom orders, vintage spirits, spin-the-wheel choices, and a lot of mixology showmanship.
