Jack Rose
Additional Information
Yet another hard-to-find spot – although it’s adamantly #notaspeakeasy – Jack Rose is nestled in a basement, where you can enjoy your liquid libations in peace, undisturbed by passers-by. And since it’s named after the classic apple brandy cocktail – of applejack, lemon, and grenadine – you can order the original rendition here, natch.
Simple in its design – with a wooden bar counter, black-and-white floors, a record player spinning nostalgic hip hop and disco beats, and neon signs proclaiming “Hot Wings & Dreams” – it’s the sort of no-frills place you can hit up for a good night out with your drinking buddies. Plus, the witty, comic book-style menu that clues you in on what exactly you’re imbibing never fails to entertain.
