Red Frog

To get into Red Frog, you must first meander through Monkey Mash Bar and find the closet door (another option: just ask the staff). Behind that door is a meticulously designed speakeasy with green wood-paneled walls, ornate chandeliers, and plush couches where you can get cozy and touch knees with your date. This is a craft cocktail kind of spot, and the menu is based around unexpected ingredient blends—the Zeppelin Funk Punch pairs earl grey with buttermilk and gin, and the American Gangster is a mix of bourbon, maple, cinnamon, and cocoa. It’s a popular bar but tiny, so reservations are essential.
