The editorial take
Hidden Harbor builds its drinks around a tiki tradition, with original tropical cocktails and reworked classics, every one made by the bar team. The menu lists ten named tropical drinks across bright & bracing, frozen, and strong sections, priced 16–22, plus a non-alcoholic Man O' War. A deep rum library of over 700 bottlings supports the program, and all tropical fruit juices are juiced in-house. The bar has won City Paper's Best Cocktail List repeatedly, and the 10th anniversary is marked with the Future Islands cocktail.
