She Loves You

Sometimes you want a bar that’s more about your conversation than the management’s Spotify choices. A place where, rather than leaving you to flounder through 300 bottles of varying quality and 50 cocktails, the bartender listens to what you want and pulls out just the right thing from a list that’s as concise as it is smart. While co-owner Sophie Otton is one of the best sommeliers in the state, nothing about this, her first bar, screams “cork dork”. Instead, She Loves You is the sort of place to curl up with a copy of The New Yorker from the shelf, or revel in the company of good friends. You won’t be short of good things to drink.

What to order: There’s not a bad wine on the list, and star US bartender Eben Freeman consults on the cocktails.
