Palmetto has great drinks and a great look, but it also has infamously terrible acoustics and chilly, bordering on rude service. The space desperately needs some sort of sound baffling to mediate the bare floors and return the sound level to something more appropriate for a cocktail bar. Honestly it prevents me from going there more often.

The cocktails are sharp. The natural wine knows what it’s doing. Dry plants, good shadows. The music’s loud enough to cover for you if you’re nervous. Which helps. The bar’s all elbows and leaning in. But the booths—that’s where it happens. Curved little velvet coves. You sit too close and knock knees if you want to. And you do.

Once, in one of these booths, someone handed me a Shohei Ohtani baseball card from Japan. Just passed it across the table like it was nothing. But it wasn’t. It felt like the start of a weird, great story. Maybe it was.

my friends and i (all POC) were targeted — bar staff routinely chastised us for inconsequential things tables full of white people were doing while they were left free to do as they please. never coming back
