And, that’s not all Kiyomi has to offer, with Friday and Saturday nights having live music from 6pm. Kiyomi Bar Take a detour through Tokyo (minus the long haul fight!) with Kiyomi Bar’s uniquely Japanese style bar experience. Get your groove on Friday and Saturday nights with a DJ till late (slash early), making this a ch-ery good destination indeed for when you want a party that keeps on keeping on. Boujee, velvet lined booths are up to the task of gathering the BFF’s for a special occasion (and yes, girls night will always qualify as a special occasion in our eyes) though it’s also intimate enough for a cosy αζορ date night.
The drink might be building off of its relative’s popularity, moving up nine spots this year. It’s a certified classic that we don’t expect to disappear any time soon. The mix of white rum, lime juice, cane sugar, soda, and muddled mint is fresh and tropical. It’s no wonder that it’s maintained its place in the top 25 for the sixth year in a row.
It’s a date night spot in the West Village, not just for the drinks but also for the dim lighting and live jazz that echoes throughout the space periodically throughout the week. Order anything head bartender Valentino Longo is mixing or opt for a chilled glass of champagne, proffered elegantly from a silver trolley. A low-key watering hole in Downtown Miami, this spot is headed by bartender Mike Reich and owner Brian Griffiths—a Broken Shaker alum and former owner of South Miami’s Shelley’s.
- Given the chance, Ken might describe Birdy as a cozy eight-seat neighborhood counter bar, located between a street noodle stall and a local coffee shop, serving classic beverages to a soundtrack of vintage and contemporary tunes.
- The striking central bar takes the spotlight, featuring a cocktail menu inspired by Middle Eastern and Asian ingredients and flavours.
- The second iteration of the beloved Dalston drinking spot, bringing bold boozing to Soho.
- Tucked away in a basement, this quirky cocktail bar still bears the remnants of its former life as an apartment, with its original walls, tiles, and room dividers left untouched.

But whether you're after a traditional 'taberna', a century-old bodega, modern cocktails, or a coffee for breakfast or to relax in the afternoon, we've got something for everyone. Over the last decade, the killer team at Tio's has served more than 100,000 Margaritas. Cut through all the rich bar food with a Blind Tiger, or order up summertime vibes in a classic El Diablo.

If you happen to make your booking within this time period then unfortunately an exchange is not possible. At this time, this option is not available for Brighton, Cardiff or Manchester. Your payment date will be set as the 3rd of next month (after pay day) and if not paid by this date, the link will then expire. In some cases, we allow reservations of Alcotraz tickets in order to give you time to collect the money from your fellow fugitives – so you can pay for all in one transaction. Those that would prefer to sit back and enjoy are welcome to do that too, whilst enjoying personalised cocktails in this unique and fun world. If you have any alcohol left at the end of the experience, we will give you your bottle back.
Champagne Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club
It’s welcoming and lively, with disco lights and a playlist full of jams like No Diggity—all of which make it a fun place. Despite opening in 2021, this Andersonville bar feels like a neighborhood staple that’s been around since the Daley era (specifically Daley Senior). No barstool stays empty for long, and the space is filled with people happy to stand while funk and soul music blasts through the speakers. It can get busy even on a Wednesday with couples and friends snacking on bordelaise-dipped burgers or rice cake pad thai, so tell your fellow audiophiles to meet you there early. You can make reservations, but you can also walk in (there might be a wait, but that will give you some time to quickly reread your eighth-grade science textbook). Which isn’t surprising since it’s from the Alinea group—so expect elaborate, Alinea-esque drinks on the menu here.
At least 12 different kinds of white, red, orange, rosé or sparkling wines are kept cool for serving Monday to Saturday. Bird actually has another much more intimate bar hidden away in the back, but it’s only open on weekends. The menu changes regularly, featuring cocktails full of flavour, depth and complexity, but a staple is the sweet and spicy Bonfire Manhattan, with Danish whisky, mezcal, amaro and coffee vermouth. The entire venue is constructed to maximise the musical experience, from soundproofing the walls to hand-building the speakers. This became Bird, a bar centred around live DJs spinning vinyl, where the first thing you’ll notice when you enter is the DJ stand leaning against an in-house library of old and new records. At Jojo, all cocktails are created and prepared on-site in their own kitchen and served fresh from the tap at the bar.
The bartenders are fast and knowledgeable with great suggestions. Conveniently located within an easy walk to some of the best Raleigh restaurants, I even recommend just popping in here for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up coffee – you know my order! A bar I love to go to in downtown Raleigh for an Espresso Martini and Irish Coffee (take me back to Ireland) is Bittersweet. Not only do I love the ambiance of La Veladora, but their seasonal mezcal cocktails make my list of best in Raleigh.
They’ve taken an old, stiff drink (the Martini) with a reputation for being elitist and outdated, and transformed it into a fun, unpretentious and out of this world experience. This intimate bar is serving up a unique experience with neo cocktails, an intensive process over a few days to infuse the alcohol with particular flavours. A crafted experience from beginning to end, with in-house distilled botanicals which elevate every cocktail, the By.Artisian cocktail experience is one of a kind. The forever spinning disco ball, unique artistry and attentive staff incapsulate West End as a suburb into an fun and friendly cocktail bar.
And because The Bamboo Room only has a few high-tops and barstools, the bartenders have more time to guide you through the rum and rhum agricole cocktails. But a night at this lush, lively spot is worth ransacking the fun-night-out funds, and it's intimate enough to make any celebration feel even more special. The sophisticated 65-seater cocktail bar in Hockley offers table service for classics and house creations. The Cornerhouse's rooftop bar GinSecco shut its doors for good in November and around the same time late-night spot Olivia's Townhouse, in Chapel Bar, went on the market.
The cocktail as a full experience
An adorable Italian East Village spot that made “bitters and amari” into a staple. Even the large-format drinks feel intentional, not just a novelty for its own sake. The cocktails here are fun, well-tuned, and tasty. If you squint, you’ll feel like you’re drinking in a schooner lost to the deep. An itsy bitsy shipwreck fantasy tiki cocktail bar perched above Gage & Tollner. Who doesn’t love a cheese plate?
If you enjoy rum and don’t take yourself too seriously, it’s an essential visit. The city’s top cocktail bars don’t just serve great beverages, they’re also places where you'll want to hang out. In a city where you can walk into almost any establishment—a dive bar, Whole Foods—and ask for a Negroni, what sets the very best cocktail bars apart?
