"During the day, Patent Pending is a coffee shop. But once the sun sets, and people stop caring about coffee, they open their hidden bar in the back. These people take their cocktails very seriously, serving a seasonal menu of complex signature drinks which tend to be strong, fascinating, and in the $20-$30 price range. The bar is mostly walk-in-only (with limited prix-fixe reservations), and there are only around 10 bar seats and a couple of booths in the dark, dungeon-like space, so anticipate a wait." - Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
