"If your wealthy but eccentric uncle had an antique store and a speakeasy in his 100-year-old mansion, it might look a bit like Mathers Social Gathering. Bartenders in suspenders whip up creative cocktails, there are sashaying burlesque dancers performing around the space, and everybody is snacking on plates of brie and manchego or pepperoni flatbread. Come here for a gin cocktail with lavender and honey served in a mini bathtub or a smoking oak decanter of bourbon with whiskey barrel bitters and green apple. They even have a general store in the corner of the room for the essentials, like candy cigarettes and absinthe." - Cheryl Rodewig
