Neither a dive nor a spectacle, Test Pilot takes a laid-back approach to tiki bars. Like a mid-century living room decorated in the midst of tiki obsession, the Funk Zone lounge is a low-key hangout with a kitsch, tiki twist on cocktails. Make sure to try their frozen take on a Painkiller, a coconut-citrus slush whose mix of “house sedatives” is the perfect cap to any evening.
