There are sports bars aplenty by the Garden, but gameday drinkers and concertgoers used to have to travel far to find a well-made cocktail served with a lively scene. Now, they can join the locals who gather around the four-sided marble bar at the center of this sleek spot, sipping the eponymous whiskey cocktail (named for the nearby voting district) as well as modern libations concocted by beverage director Mike Wyatt, who has a particularly deft hand with Tiki drinks.
