Raines Law Room

Editorial Review

Alright, we're all done with the whole neo-speakeasy, arm-garter, million-dollar cocktail trend now. Or are we? Late addition to the scrum is put together so nicely we're back on board for drinking on the down low. Traipse to the bottom of the steps, ring the buzzer, pause for clearance, and then enter posh, plush drinking den. Prohibition-era scene with a jazz soundtrack. Gin and absinthe Corpse Reviver for you, chartreuse and cognac Champs-Élysées for your Francophile friend. Lovely place to get zozzled.
