"Located underneath the century-old Green Door Tavern, The Drifter is a tiny dive-like speakeasy with Prohibition-era style, complete with burlesque performances on a small stage and an old American flag hanging above the bar. But expect a wait and a $7 cover before you enter using a door knob on a shelf full of tchotchkes. The drink menu adds to the mystique by changing every day, and cocktail names are printed on individual tarot cards. Is it kitschy? Yes. Does it make for an entertaining night with built-in conversation starters? Also yes." - veda kilaru, john ringor
