After a whole day of slurping noodles and cramming dumplings in your face—and, hey, if you did something active, good on you—it’s time for a cocktail. Ok, maybe two. Ugh, fine, you’re going to have between three and five, but it’s only because there are so many incredible spots here, and you had a long day. Secretive speakeasies and skyline views are the name of the game in Old Town, where you’ll find Stockton— a combination of a hunting lodge, dungeon, and world-class whiskey speakeasy, complete with a cigar room and dotted with dark leather couches for maximum lounge-ability. It would be a bad move to skip the Brass Monkey, Stockton’s signature drink made with HM The King Scotch and compressed citrus. But first, you have to find the place (clue: it’s down a dark alleyway and there’s a single lightbulb that tips off the secret doorway). For another, elusive Old Town experience, check out 001. If you can find the black-door and brass bell (and we mean “if”), you’ll find one of the best prohibition-style speakeasies in town. Green leather armchairs and plush booths line this basement bar where there are still serious drinks to be drank - we like the dark and stormy. And if you’re trying to feel like you’re in your richest friend’s most aspirational Instagram photo, Sevva is the absolute pinnacle of luxurious drinking.
