Cane & Grain

You'll find yourself climbing between three distinct floors, each with its own personality but united by serious cocktail game and American-style comfort food. The ground floor buzzes with after-work crowds nursing perfectly balanced Old Fashioneds, while upstairs gets progressively more raucous as the night wears on. The kitchen knows its way around proper BBQ – their ribs fall off the bone without being mushy, and the burgers are substantial enough to soak up those whiskey-heavy cocktails. Weekend service stretches until 3am, making this your go-to when everywhere else has called last orders. The New York styling feels authentic rather than forced, probably because they've focused more on getting the drinks right than overdoing the decor.
