The Varnish

If you want great drinks made by great bartenders who take pride in the art of mixology, come here!  Usually I'm iffy about ordering "crafty" cocktails because they tend to be a lot of mixers without much alcohol, being served in tiny glasses.  Well, not here!  The glasses might be cute, but the drinks are made RIGHT.  Strong but tasty.  My friend and I were watching one of the bartenders make a sazerac, and boy, the amount of attention to detail this guy was giving to this drink was amazing!  He certainly did not rush to make one drink.  So impressed that my friend ordered a sazerac from him, and it tasted amazing!  
Only reason I didn't give full 5 stars was cuz this place isn't made to mingle around, more to sit at tables and catch up with friends for conversations.  But the place was really loud, not very suitable to have long conversations.  Besides that, this bar is top notch!

Make sure you get their "old fashioned" and ask the bartender to make Your own drinks. They really know what they are making!

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! Great hidden gem :)
It's a lively speakeasy kind of bar with amazing bartender and host. They also have an amazing live jazz band playing with great drinks!! It is a bit pricey $13 but the drinks are STRONG haha moneys worth haha~

Great for dates and for a casual hang out~
