TAX

A little hidden and quietly self assured, this is the kind of place people seek out for drinks with a point of view. TAX is known for cocktails built around acidity and fermentation, with house made vinegar long at the heart of its style. That approach gives the menu real character without turning it into a gimmick, and the bartending is precise enough to keep everything approachable. The room has a dark, compact intimacy that suits slow conversation and close attention to what is in the glass. It is a smart stop for anyone who wants something more distinctive than the usual cocktail bar.
