B Side

An attachment to a butcher shop. A great beer list. Vinyl records on an actual turntable. B Side in the Mosaic District has got a lot going for it even before you even get into the cocktails, which all happen to be named after songs. Like the 59th Street Bridge, their take on a New York Sour, featuring bourbon, lemon, red wine syrup and egg white. Or the Love Street, a gin sour with basil and black peppercorns.

Be sure to try: I Don’t Even Know Myself, a drink made with bourbon, black tea, yellow chartreuse and house-made lemon cordial.
