Soho, Manhattan · bar
The Arlo Soho lobby disappears into low light, warm wood, and a bar that actually follows through on the jazz-lounge idea. Bands roll in regularly—no cover, no fuss—so it reads like a real night out, not a hotel default. Cocktails lean cinematic; the Royal Flush (rye, rum, fernet, cinnamon smoke) is the move if you want something with a little edge.
