"Scofflaw’s fireplaces (yes they have two) and living room-esque design is perfect if you don't want to stay home and drink in your living room, but still want to feel like you’re in one. The cocktail list rotates every three months, with a particular focus on gin, like the flowery and herbaceous Heliotrope with gin, lavender, rosemary, and arak. The food menu has an eclectic mix of dishes like pea curry dip and Korean rice cakes, but the cheesy smashburger is the best thing here. Plus, they have free freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies after midnight." - adrian kane, john ringor
