    In addition to the upscale atmosphere, the cocktail cred here includes specialty ice cubes that are frozen at -30-degrees Farenheit, cherries imported from Italy and housemade bitters. Read more

    live jazz, a giant book of cocktails (including 3 kinds of Manhattans), a secret room and garden in the back? what's not to love?

    Honestly the VTR holds its own to NY staples like PDT and Death & Co, and goes beyond with really good jazz. VTR has recreated another time with perfection - drinking that in is as good as the drinks

    If you are looking for a classic cocktail made right this is your place. A hidden gem in an area famous for prohibition era bootlegging. An added bonus is the live jazz music performances.

    The best traditional cocktail bar in Cleveland. Go between 4-7pm on weekdays for happy hour prices.

    Having been to similar speakeasies in NYC & Sydney, I can say this place has the chops to be world class. Try the widows kiss!

    A piano player accompanies the clinking of perfectly square ice cubes at this swank, living room–like cocktail purists' hangout.

    Sexy, sophisticated, and unapologetically jazzy. When the weather's nice, hang on the back patio & cool yourself in the piano melodies.

    Best sazerac cocktail I've had outside of New Orelans. Peychaud's bitters and all. If you're serious about your cocktails, you'll dig this place.

    Try the Rangpur Gimlet or the Ramos Gin Fizz - Michael Symon voted the Lime Fizz the "Best Thing He Ever Drank" and I agree.
