Bar 1903

Housed in the historic Walker Library building, Bar 1903 has a Library of Cocktails that spans 160 years of mixology tradition. Small plates, sandwiches, and sweets are on offer in a warm, cozy atmosphere, where service is attentive, but unobtrusive. With a seating capacity of only 36, this is an ideal place for a quiet chat. It also can hit that limit some nights, but there's a waitlist and, when the call comes, you have 15 minutes to claim your seat.

Charlie Park

For an "elevated" nighttime experience—in both senses of the word—this rooftop lounge offers sophisticated cocktails voted by locals as the best in Tallahassee. The day kicks off with happy hour and segues into a full-service restaurant later on. Weekend brunches also are popular here. This downtown spot overlooks Cascades Park with its Adderly Amphitheatre, dancing waters, and meandering walkways.
