"Forget what you thought you knew about the barhopping experience when you enter through the doors of this blink-and-you-miss-it spot, where just eight coveted seats are available to patrons. That’s because no two bottles are alike in these parts—which makes sourcing, training, and execution particularly rewarding for spirit savant Paul McGee and his team. Craving Campari?
