45 West Bottle Shop & Bar

You're walking into Hotel Street territory here, where 45 West has carved out a proper niche for itself. It's that rare place where you can pop in for a can of something interesting from their bottle shop, or settle in for a carefully made cocktail that doesn't take itself too seriously. The vibe is refreshingly unpretentious—no fluff, no gimmicks, just good spirits, knowledgeable staff, and a crowd who actually care about what they're drinking. It's the kind of spot where locals actually want to hang out, not somewhere you feel pressured to Instagram your drink.
