The now-classic Rum Club welcomes first-daters,
out-of-towners, patio smokers and especially cocktail aficionados who
avoid the inflated prices and vest-and-bow-tie fussiness of westside
mixology shrines. But more than anything, it is the bar where off-shift
bartenders most often will tell you they spend their time—if they're not
at, like, B-Side. They're known for some of the best bartenders in
town, working from one of the best shelves in town—ask them about their
house rum blends, including two named for the staffers who assembled
them. The bar will make you a mind-bending daiquiri or fruit cocktail
such as the Peach Blended—an umbrella drink made with blended rum, fresh
peaches, lime and sugar—that is as good as blended drinks get. But
don't overlook the mainstay Pedro Martínez, which mixes aged rum with
maraschino, Torino vermouth and bitters and is possibly perfect.
Happy hour: 4-6:30 pm Monday-Saturday, all night Sunday. Snack and cocktail specials.
