The Aviary

Editorial Review

If you thought Grant Achatz was doing wild things with food over at Next, wait 'til you see what he and Craig Schoettler are up to with the cocktails at this bar next door. Imagine crystal clear strawberry ice cubes and cucumber bubbles, or a black truffle negroni. There is absolutely nothing around like this custom 70-seat bar, and trust us, there will be nothing old fashioned about your old fashioned. Here, they're served inside the ice cube.
