Cocktail and wine bar that builds drinks around you — tell them your preferences, your feelings, your life story, and they go from there.
A cocktail and wine bar that works in reverse — instead of handing you a menu, they hand you a question. Tell them what you've been drinking lately, what kind of day you've had, the last bottle that stopped you in your tracks; the drink that lands in front of you is an answer to that conversation rather than a number on a list.
It's a useful corrective if you've spent the night in tasting-room mode. Come solo, take a seat at the bar, and treat the first drink as a calibration. By the second one, the bartender has your range — and the cocktail starts feeling less like an order and more like a recommendation from someone who's been paying attention.
