Philadelphia


Take your pick from two cocktail bars at this location. At basement-level a barely-lit speakeasy pays homage to a Prohibition-era booze operation run by Philly gangster Max 'Boo Boo' Hoff. At the Upstairs Bar you're instantly transported to the Polynesian islands with a fun tiki-themed bar.

When you clock the price tags of their premium-liquor cocktails you may still think a crime is going down, but there's plenty more affordable and creative libations on the menu.
