Native

If Native were any cooler, it would be rolling its own cigarettes and reciting French poetry in the back of a vintage car. This is the spot to bring your friend who reads about barrel-aging techniques for fun so you can watch them get excited about how good this place is. The drink menu is constantly changing, but always includes ingredients from around the region, which in the past has meant things like spiced Thai ants sprinkled on top of a cocktail. If Native is too crowded, both Spiffy Dapper and Employees Only are excellent plan Bs.
