Slip through the brick-walled gateway into this tavern where a horseshoe bar anchors the room and old-world sophistication meets neighborhood ease. Cocktails like the Painkiller and mezcal Manhattan flow with seasonal intention—think shiso leaf when it blooms—while the kitchen turns out Old World delicacies: caviar on rye, liverwurst, salumi boards. This is elevated drinking without pretension, where expertise serves hospitality.
