Julep

This genteel hangout makes random weeknights feel like a special occasion. The pretty bar up front is adorned with flowers and fruit bowls, and the cozy parlor has a decidedly different vibe full of moody purples and blues. House cocktails feature homemade syrups and infused vermouths, while classics are broken down by spirit category, so it’s easy to find something you like. Don’t leave without trying one of the juleps. Those range from the standard bourbon-laced option to other more unexpected versions, like one made with mezcal and sous vide pineapple wine. If you’re hungry, the bar serves oysters and a variety of small plates.
