Tiger Bar

Tiger Bar is your ticket into the wild world of the sideshow circus (with cocktails that feel particularly suited to the environment). There’s velvet, fringe, hand-painted signage, vintage portraits of sideshow greats, and booths that are designed to look like circus caravans. The bar specializes in gin drinks with a heavy emphasis on martinis, but there’s something for everyone here: try the Negroni that comes with cotton candy, or spin the wheel for a Mystery Elixir of the bartender’s choosing. Tiger Bar also does a champagne toast for everybody at midnight, making the place feel like one big, fizzy party. Reservations are critical if you don’t want to deal with a lengthy wait, and cocktail attire is required, but the fuss is worth it. Make sure you check out the trippy bathroom before you leave.
