Fodor's Choice
This two-floor Japanese cocktail bar hits the mark on all notes. Perch yourself at the bar on the second floor and watch the bartenders shake up sensational Japanese-accented libations, such as a shiso-laced G&T or a "Meguroni," with genever (a ginlike liquor), aged umeshu (a fruit liqueur), and Caffo bitters. There's also a food menu of satisfying izakaya-style snacks like uni-topped deviled eggs and charred Japanese eggplant.
