As kindred spirits will deduce from the name (the abbreviation for 'percent alcohol by volume'), this bar is backed by cocktail crafters who know their Rittenhouse rye from their Japanese malt whiskey. Top-notch hooch is served promptly and without pretension, including excellent Cali wine and beer, and original historically inspired cocktails like the Sutro Swizzle (Armagnac, grapefruit shrub, maraschino liqueur).
For drinks with a plot twist, head upstairs to Overproof. At the time of research it was undergoing one of its revamps, which take place about every three months. But the space typically features a special spirit and accompanying menu, with decor changes to match. Check the website for the latest details and reserve ahead.
