The Nickel Bar

You'll descend into Poultry and find yourself in what feels like a very grown-up speakeasy, all warm wood panelling and polished brass fittings. It's the kind of place where the bartenders actually know what they're doing—they're not messing about with fifty-ingredient concoctions, just executing the classics with real precision. The crowd's mixed: suits unwinding after the markets, proper cocktail enthusiasts, and locals who've worked out this is where to come when you want a proper drink without the theatre.
