About

Sophisticated cocktails and elevated bar fare are the focus at this lounge inside The Fifth Avenue Hotel in NoMad. The drinks balance precise classics with modern signatures, and the spirit free section is treated with the same care as the rest of the list. Wood paneling, a strong art collection, and a carved stone fireplace give it that dressed up but still comfortable feel that works for one perfect round or a longer, unhurried night.
