The editorial take

Cane and Table calls itself 'Proto-Tiki,' pulling from pre-20th century Caribbean cocktails with a rum-heavy lineup. Signature drinks like the Hurricane & Table, built on house-made Fassionola, and the Jockey Club show a kitchen-savvy approach to tropical tradition. Bon Appétit named it one of America's five best new cocktail bars. Non-drinkers get a proper Pathfinder-based negroni, and the rum list runs from Probitas to Cheramie Cask Select.

What should I order?
Start with the Hurricane & Table, a painstaking recreation of the classic using house-made Fassionola and fresh citrus. For a drier, older-school rum drink, the Modern Bombo—an old fashioned with bourbon and rum—shows the bar's historical reach.
Who will enjoy this place?
Rum enthusiasts will find a thoughtful by-origin selection, while cocktail lovers seeking historically grounded, tiki-adjacent drinks will appreciate the house-made syrups and creative signatures. The nonalcoholic menu offers a legit Pathfinder-based aperitif for designated drivers.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?
The self-styled 'Proto-Tiki' approach reaches back to pre-20th century Caribbean recipes, with drinks like the Modern Bombo updated from 1600s rum cocktails. A dedicated rum list organized by origin—Belize, Barbados, —reinforces the historical, ingredient-driven focus.
