Getting a seat

Most of the room is first come, first served. The bar holds a limited number of reservations for small parties early in the evening, and all evening on Sundays and Mondays, released a week ahead; the details are in the FAQ. Table times are 90 minutes when there is a wait, and the lounge is 21 and over, with ID checked at the door.

On the menu

The list is organized like a toy catalog, from Fresh Out the Box originals to Tabletop Classics, with most cocktails at $18 to $20. Recipes lean inventive, like a gin drink with tomato water and tortilla chip vermouth, or rum shaken with pistachio and Fruit Loops. If nothing appeals, the bar invites you to ask for something built to your taste. Snacks go beyond olives: lobster pancakes, grass-fed sliders, ceviche, pupusas and apple empanadas with dulce de leche.

Private parties

The whole lounge can be booked for seated cocktail parties of up to 36, or about 40 standing once some couches are swapped for cocktail tables, and a private downstairs lounge holds up to eight. The bar's website also takes bookings for its sibling, Bogie's Place, the steak and cocktail room behind the curtain at jm Curley.
