I like cocktail bars. Here's some notable ones I liked in a variety of cities.
Edmonton
Honi Honi Tiki Lounge - solid tiki bar in downtown YEG. Nice selection of rums and some unusual-looking agave options. Rum barrel and white pearl were my favorites, and the ti'punch had a really interesting Mexican agricole in it
Raleigh
Foundation - The best cocktail bar in the Triangle. The proprietor of The Alderman (Chicago) knew these folks.
Aunty Betty's - A gin & absinthe bar. Didn't have absinthe when I went, but it did have a very knowledgeable and awesome bartender.
Dram and Draught - Whiskey bar with good cocktails. Haven't gotten to know this one too well.
C Grace (RIP) Used to be an amazing jazz bar, no more.
Chicago
The Alderman - Reservation only but we got in without one. Incredible bar and a very quirky and personable owner-bartender.
Cindy's Rooftop - Very vanilla bar but has a nice view of the city and millennium park.
Clifton's Pacific Seas - My first tiki bar and a very special one. One of the best interiors of any tiki bar I have been in.
Denver
Hell or High Water - gay/queer tiki bar in Denver. Unique selection of glassware and server garb.
Seattle
canon - notable for having the largest spirit collection in America, I felt like I was wasting the bar's time ordering off the menu.
Rumba - canon for rum drinkers. Told the server I was interested in rhum agricoles - received a flight and a 20 minute crash course + q&a on the subject when he returned. Amazing bar.
Inside Passage (inside Rumba) - A neat tiki spot that focuses more on novelty than other tiki bars I've attended. The cocktails are good but premixed to save space, you can't order off menu here.
