OXO BAR

Walk into OXO and you're stepping into the kind of place where the bartenders actually know what they're doing. George Street's got no shortage of drinking spots, but this one takes itself seriously without being precious about it. The cocktail list reads like someone's done their homework—you'll find your Negronis and Daiquiris done right, alongside their own riffs that show real craft. It's the sort of bar you bring a date to, or collapse into after a week of deadlines, knowing you'll get a proper drink and a bit of polish without the stuffiness.
