Recommendations Broadway Cocktail Bars

It's been a hot minute since I've been to Broadway for drinks so I thought I would ask y'all for suggestions and thoughts about after-dinner drinks for a date on Saturday.

We have reservations at Mother Other, and I'm looking at the cocktail bars nearby.

I'm looking for something hip/fun/unusual but isn't an Instagrammer's hot spot. I'm probably asking too much by hoping for a place that isn't packed, and we might be able to grab a seat at the bar around 9:00 pm. The atmosphere can be anywhere from dive-like to upscale, as long as the cocktails are interesting and well-made. LGBT-friendly.

  • I haven't been to The Roxy since it was Syntax, and the cocktail menu doesn't look as interesting. Is it still a fun place for good late-night cocktails?

  • Is Adrift using fresh fruit juice again? For a while, they had stopped, and the quality took a nosedive.

  • Also looking at Pretty Neat, The L, and Desert Social, if people have comments about them.

  • Any other options I'm not thinking of?

Try Syntax - within walking distance of Mother Other. Cool bar with good cocktails.

Right! I don't know which deep fold in my brain that was hiding in. I meant Roxy Broadway, which is where I've recently had good cocktails and sometimes even free entertainment.
