"Downtown’s celebrated bar and restaurant is famous for its vast catalog of cocktails, ranging from smoky, spirit-forward concoctions; refreshing and citrusy sips; to more adventurous, savory or vegetal offerings. In addition, its food menu — designed by chef, restaurateur, author, and cooking show host Matty Matheson who in 2024 partnered with the spot — features fun bites like coconut shrimp with jerk mayo, mortadella sliders, and Alabama barbecue grilled wings. It should come as no surprise that Standby’s mocktail menu is equally impressive, with drinks like the California Sober, featuring the Pathfinder hemp-infused spirit, lemongrass, ginger, tart orange, and club soda." - Serena Maria Daniels, Will Reaume
