Sonny's Cocktail Joint

No reservations, no phone, no fuss... that's the whole ethos at this bright, vintage-leaning bar on South Street. The cocktail program is unusually well-traveled, pulling from Mexican mezcals, Panamanian rums, Alpine amaros, and French absinthes, with a draft natural wine list and a solid mocktail menu running alongside. Chef Dane DeMarco's bar food goes further than it needs to, with wagyu hot dogs, oysters topped with salmon roe, and a lump crab sandwich on crab-fat brioche. The skylit backyard garden out back is some of the best outdoor bar real estate in this part of the city.
