Tiki$$$
Three Dots and a DashA full basement tiki fantasy down an alley stair under a wall of skulls: thatched ceilings, carved masks and a 200-plus rum backbar filling a sprawling subterranean room. The attached 16-seat Bamboo Room is the quieter, rum-focused counterpart.Book ahead
Hotel bar$$$
The Berkshire RoomA candlelit salon inside the ACME Hotel: tufted leather banquettes, intimate two-tops and a classic back bar. The signature move is Dealer's Choice: pick your glassware, base spirit and flavour profile and let the bartender build something unlisted.Book ahead
Lounge$$$
