"Forget pyrotechnics, dry ice, and other newfangled cocktail trends—the old-timers behind this bar probably don't know what "mixology" means, even if it's their full-time job. But madre mía, they sure know how to make a mean martini. (After all, this iconic coctelería, opened in 1921, has shaken martinis and stirred old-fashioneds for the likes of Frank Sinatra and Pedro Almodóvar.) Order any of the classics, like gimlets, margaritas, Spanish-style gin and tonics, and you can't go wrong." - Benjamin Kemper
