Lee's
Lee's is a speakeasy-style cocktail lounge in Rice Village at 5117 Kelvin Dr, accessible through an inconspicuous door on the building's side. Named for owner Benjy Levit's mother, Lee's reopened in January 2025 as the companion bar to Milton's restaurant. This is where craft cocktails meet irreverent food culture.
The amaro, Aperol, and Campari-focused cocktail menu pairs beautifully with unexpected snacks like mozzarella sticks smothered in caviar, double-stacked cheeseburgers with spicy remoulade, and chicken parm sandwiches. The moody, lounge-inspired atmosphere sets the perfect tone. Lee's was named one of 2025's Best Bars in America by Bon Appetit. Open Wednesday-Thursday 4pm-11pm, Friday-Saturday 4pm-midnight.
