The editorial take
This subterranean cocktail lounge ' East Quarter runs two $20 sections: Classic-ish Cocktails and House Cocktails. The classic side includes a Ginger's Old Fashioned, Barrel-Aged Black Manhattan, Pornstar Martini, and Diamond in the Rough. The house side lists Fromage Noir, Strawberry Nights, and Ms. Cleo, among others. The bar also serves high-pour martinis, Negronis, and margaritas, and a separate 0% Cocktails & More section covers four zero-proof drinks and two non-alcoholic sparkling options.
- What should I order?
- Start with a Barrel-Aged Black Manhattan, made with Teeling Irish whiskey, amaro, and two bitters, or the Ginger's Old Fashioned with rye, chai, and Angostura. For a house original, try Fromage Noir, a goat cheese-washed gin drink with spiced pear and lemon. If you want zero proof, the Low Fashioned uses Feragaia, chai demerara, and non-alcoholic orange bitters.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who want a deep $20 cocktail list with both familiar riffs and original house builds will find plenty to work through. The dedicated zero-proof section also makes this a practical stop for anyone skipping alcohol. The East Quarter dress code is worth noting before you go.
- When should I go?
- A subterranean cocktail lounge with a dress code, best suited to an evening visit when you want a full cocktail menu rather than a quick drink. The breadth of the $20 list and the separate zero-proof section support a leisurely round or two.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails are $20 across both the Classic-ish and House sections. Zero-proof cocktails are $15 each. Non-alcoholic sparkling options are $16 by the glass, with French Bloom 'Le Blanc' at $80 per bottle and Copenhagen Sparkling Tea 'LYSEGRON' at $48 per bottle.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The menu pairs a long classic-riff section with an equally long house-cocktail section, both priced at $20. The house side includes techniques like goat cheese-washed gin in Fromage Noir and barrel-aging in an amontillado sherry-cured barrel for Strawberry Nights. The 0% Cocktails & More section adds four zero-proof drinks and two non-alcoholic sparkling options.
