The charming faux speakeasy is an excellent place to meet up with friends for a round of interesting cocktails and a first-rate meal. Bordello-inspired wallpaper and dim lighting set an alluring stage for the robust and flavorful food. Many dishes have a Southern vibe, from the sophisticated take on pigs in a blanket (andouille sausage wrapped in puff pastry, served with a whole-grain mustard crema) to fried chicken and ham-and-cheddar hush puppies. Starting at 7 p.m., there’s live music—mostly jazz—every night from Wednesday through Sunday.
