The Holiday Cocktail Lounge Presents:
BAR LOVE
What’s next?
Bar Love
Remembrances of bars past. We all miss our old loves. We would give anything to relive the chill of a Beijing Peach at Flatiron, the open door at Mars Bar, hobnail boots under the table at Max’s Kansas City, the pounding bass at Manitoba’s, lobster at Chumley’s, the bell at Extra Fancy, the first mezcal at Mayahuel and even the mind-numbing smell of the bathroom at CBGB’s.
In celebration of bars we loved, follow us, take a taste, and prepare to time travel.
Because we love you!
