Nicks is known for its Bucket Brigade, which hangs over the bar and is the ultimate in privilegeinstead of downing ice cold Buds in frozen mason jars, you sit down and have your own pail, with your name on it. I think you have to inherit a bucket you certainly couldnt buy one. I left Bloomington soon after I turned twenty three, never making the Bucket Brigade.

The drinks are just as good, but the vibe is much more chill. As if the food truck and colorful Miami meets Cali in a former Brooklyn auto body shop ambience didnt clue you in. Atlantic Avenue. What youre also having The deliciously dirty steakhouse martini. Chicago. Milk Room What Kevin sipped is gone but not forgotten. The Venetian Gothic woodwork in the Chicago Athletic Association hotel lobby sets up that they dont make em like they used to feeling. It hits you full on when you take one of the eight seats at a bar discreetly tucked behind a wall of stained glass windows and sip something decades or even a century old.

Julep has reverence for the past yet manages to serve elegant, unpretentious drinks. It starts with architecture. There are cushy booths and a curvilinear bar that draws you to its bosom. The drinks, too, have impeccable structure Jefferson cups, chipped ice, fine garni. Look up and a polished copper canopy winks like a ladys lashes, reminding you that Juleps owner, Alba Huerta, has her eye on every detail. Washington Avenue.

Youre hours from the shore but you feel like a beachcomber. Warren Street. Pro tip Order the beef rendang. Little Rock. The White Water Tavern. Georgia Pellegrinis idea of real Americana. The White Water Tavern is perched along railroad tracks in a forgotten part of town. Streetlamps cast a movie set glow onto a 4. Oldsmobile in the parking lot, where cars are parked like dusty fixtures that never left. A string of lights tossed in a bush and a cat greet you at the entrance. The tap and the jukebox are both down. But for a sum total of nine dollars, you get a stiff drink and admission into a room with red canoes suspended from the ceiling and a retro bearded guy with cuffed jeans and slicked back hair unloading his original songs with the help of an old acoustic guitar, his voice enchanting, the poetry of the South. There are no singed orange peels held over pretentious glassware here. Watch Armed And Deadly Online. This is Americana as it should beraw, a little ugly, but as honest as it gets. West Seventh Street. Pro tip After dark, wind your way by foot across one of Little Rocks three Technicolor pedestrian bridges and look back at the city skyline. Los Angeles. Everson Royce Bar.
