Chelsea, Manhattan · bar
The cocktail list reads like a pop playlist (“Baby One More Time,” “Like A Prayer,” “I Wanna Be Adored”) and delivers tropical builds that skip the tiki formula for spirit-forward, dryer pours. The Asian-leaning food (fried chicken bao, pork belly bao, crispy coconut shrimp) can carry a full night. A second-floor Canopy Room with its own bar handles the groups.
Lemongrass coconut shrimp with sweet-spicy dipping sauce, 4 pieces, dairy-free.
Crispy fried chicken, grilled pineapple, hot honey chili crisp, spicy aioli (2 pc).
Pineapple rum, Campari, Smith & Cross — tropical and bitter, the bar’s namesake.
