Cocktail Bars & Lounges
 Noteworthy Cocktail Bar/Lounges

Saying that one place or another is the coolest bar or cocktail lounge in the world is very subjective. Â For me, here is my personal list. They are not all tiki, not all midcentury, but all the components seemed to click. The atmosphere, the cocktails, the music, the vibe, etc. Â This obviously does not cover those which just opened, and we cannot keep up with those who have closed their doors. So if there is something you know, please share it, and if you wish to visit any of these, be sure to check their website first.
