Upper East Side, Manhattan ยท bar
A warm, unhurried room in Yorkville's quieter eastern corner. TVs along the bar, patio out front, weekly trivia drawing the same crowd on purpose. The Bramble (Gunpowder Irish Gin, blackberry, fresh lemon over crushed ice) is the cocktail worth ordering twice, and the Five Lamps Old Fashioned with Redemption Bourbon and Angostura bitters is the obvious follow-up. Weekend brunch and the Five Lamps Burger (Irish Cheddar, bacon marmalade) round out the case for not leaving early.
