Lion’s Tail (CLOSED)

Housed in the buzzy Ink Block complex, this modern cocktail bar’s cocktail program pays particular homage to underappreciated classics like the daiquiri, the pisco sour and the Old Cuban; the bar’s namesake concoction is a potent blend of bourbon, allspice dram, gum syrup and lime. The decor is urban chic and the bartenders friendly and accommodating, even on weekend nights when other duties beckon.
