The Hamilton Reviews
Amazing little bar that blends unassuming elegance with some spectacular cocktails. This is the neighborhood gem you keep returning to when your friends visit. (In this case I was the friend.)

Would recommend as quiet place for a first date or a recurring escape from the norm.
