    The Black Burger is served on a gimmicky charcoal smoked black bun, with black truffle and black garlic mayo, but the patty itself (Juicy Lucy style with Gruyère) is deliciously rich and buttery. Read more

    Exquisite cocktails served in a cozy and dimly lit ambiance? Check. Make sure to try the lively Son of a Beesting (gin, rose water, lemon, ginger, honey) or potent Fictitious Entry, if you dare.

    Hidden in the basement of North River, Dead Drop is a really nice cocktail bar, you feel like home. Do not hesitate to go upstairs for dinner if you are hungry!

    Go for "Off the Grid". Looking for something new, but not sure what? The bartender makes a recommendation from drinks you like. I liked amaretto, so I got a creme de noyaux. It was splendid!

    Great place, wonderful drinks. You'll wait but they'll be worth it. One thing... watch out going to the bathroom the floor is very uneven and if you've had a couple... well... just a heads up. :)

    Spy themed cocktail spot - really different, creative drinks. Had something crazy that is most similar to an Old Fashioned...a little sweet but delicious

    To access the bar, you have to walk into North River first, then head down the staircase. Press a doorbell, and await further instructions. Read more

    surprisingly quiet little bar in the bottom of a resto. not as secret as advertised but all drinks are excellent and served with care and enthusiasm.

    Despite the enticing concoctions offered, you can always measure a bartender's skill with an old fashioned. Here it's expertly mixed with skillfully carved ice.

    Bartenders here make the best cocktails in the neighborhood. Just tell them what you like and you'll get it, better than you thought it could be.

    I know my burgers, and the Black Burger happens to be the best I've ever eaten in my life. Totally didn't believe my friend until I tried it.

    Great drinks and awesome staff. Also, if you pay with Cover (http://paywithcover.com) you can walk right out without dealing with the check.

    Good place for a fancy cocktail in a dark, hidden, and intimate setting. Really liked the Field Agent.

    Don't walk out without getting the burger, it would be the biggest mistake of your life.

    Try the Son of a Bees Sting and International Waters. Your check comes in a book!

    Tiny bar with a speak-easy vibe and a sick truffle burger. Unfortunately no A/C though so when it's crowded things hear up 🔥

    Muy escondido! Es un bajo. Un sitio pequeño y oscuro pero acogedor. Son muy agradables y si no te gusta lo que ves en la carta de cócteles, te sugieren la mezcla que te pueda gustar. Muy recomendable.

    Zgadzam się z niektórymi osobami na prawdę świetne miejsce, przepiękna muzyka przy której da się odprężyć. Koktajle też mają bardzo dobre i które świetnie smakują. http://agencjainfernal.pl
