    Try something with ginger in it, like the penicillin. You won't regret it.

    Cocktails in the original Milk and Honey space. No menu, no sign. Just knock on the door and take a seat.

    When a bartender describes your drink of choice as lighting a leather shoe on fire and putting it in whiskey, you know they understand you.

    Bit of a wait for this one. Tell the bartender what kind of things you like and he'll make it for you as a real speakeasy should.
