This “Best Little Restaurant” doesn’t have room for a bar. No biggie. Guests pick from curated combos of house liqueurs—like habanero-honey bourbon and ginger limoncello—presented alongside mixers and candy complements. Tableside DIY concoctions like grapefruit-infused mezcal with grapefruit soda and candied ginger pack flavors as robust as any full spirit list—and prove you don’t need square footage when you have a massive imagination.
