Clover Club

One of the best places to explore the city’s well-documented craft-cocktail craze, Clover Club is owned by master mixologist Julie Reiner (of Flatiron Lounge and Lani Kai fame). Behind the 19^th-century mahogany bar, a squad of bartenders attired in vests and ties meticulously concoct tipples from the drinks menu, which is divided into nine categories. Choose from group-friendly bowls of punch, standard-bearing throwbacks mixed with housemade bitters, and cobblers garnished with seasonal fresh fruit. At night, you can also order small plates like deviled eggs and squash crostini; on weekend days, a full brunch menu and a serious Bloody Mary program is available.
