As the name suggests, this upmarket place loves all things Mexican – agave is the root of almost all cocktails here. This place made headlines in 2018 for making patrons surrender their mobile phones upon entry, first to preserve their ambient lighting, then because it made life better. The result is an atmosphere where people actually talk. Look for the doorbell.
