The city’s answer to the Prohibition-style speakeasy is Moonshiner. At this hidden spot in the 11th (push the metal door of the walk-in fridge in the back of pizzeria Da Vito), there’s 1920s jazz playing, Belle Epoque wallpaper, and exposed brick. Snag a table with the leather booths or sit on a stool directly at the bar. The drink list is heavy on whisky cocktails, and very fancy old whiskies you can order neat. Continuing with the times, there’s even an indoor smoking room, where you can have a cigar alongside other tourists and locals who love whisky, too. Just heads up, it gets standing-room-only crowded on weekend evenings.
