A dim, welcoming bar on Market Street where the cocktail list is full of playful riffs. The Leather Bound Book layers rye, bourbon, absinthe, and tobacco bitters, while The Peruvian Lady (pisco, Amaro Nonino, and plum bitters) arrives crystal clear and stronger than it looks. The pool table rarely sits empty, and the room has drawn an easygoing mix of regulars since 2009.
