Old Toms Gin Bar

You're walking down Riverwalk on a Friday evening, dodging the river views and the other punters, when you spot Old Toms tucked away with actual windows onto the water. Inside, it's the kind of place where the bartenders aren't performing for Instagram—they're genuinely interested in what you drink and why. The gin selection is serious without being pretentious; they've clearly thought about their list rather than just stocking every bottle under the sun. It fills that perfect gap between a proper cocktail bar and somewhere you can actually relax without feeling like you need to dress up. The crowd's mixed—after-work lot, couples, groups who've clearly been coming here for years.
