116 Crown

New Haven


Upscale contemporary design, DJ sets, expertly mixed cocktails and an international wine list draw the style crowd to this Ninth Sq bar. Small plates and a raw bar keep you from toppling off your stool, but style this chic doesn't come cheap.

Bartender John Ginnetti runs cocktail classes ($45 per person) if you'd like to learn the art of that perfect pisco sour for yourself.
