cocktail bars
I like cocktail bars. Here's some notable ones I liked in a variety of cities.
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
Long Beach
Los Angeles
Denver
Seattle
