Bramble Bar

"The first step to an evening at Bramble Bar is finding it: The bar, off posh Queen Street, is tucked down a set of stairs in a basement. (Look out for the small, brass plaque bearing the speakeasy's name.) Inside, expect relaxed music, low lights, comfortable chairs, and antique furniture. Cocktails reign supreme here, especially the whisky and gin varieties—there more than 40 gins behind the bar. Whether you want a sophisticated, mixologist-level cocktail or a spirit served neat, it's safe to say you'll find it here." - Krystin Arneson
