Tiki$$$ River NorthThree Dots and a DashA full basement tiki fantasy down an alley stair under a wall of skulls: thatched ceilings, carved masks and a 200-plus rum backbar filling a sprawling subterranean room. The attached 16-seat Bamboo Room is the quieter, rum-focused counterpart.Book ahead Lounge$$$ River NorthCelesteA four-storey, turn-of-the-century building that shifts character as you climb: a hushed whiskey bar at street level, an Art Deco supper club above it, a disco floor with a DJ booth, and a garden rooftop at the top.
