Fodor's Expert Review Drink Kong

Irish-Italian bartender Patrick Pistolesi worked his way up the ranks at establishments in Rome and New York City before opening this cocktail bar that's regarded as one of the world's best. His first solo venture is an expression of his bold aesthetic and philosophy of hospitality. Inspired by the Japanese cartoons he watched as a kid, the space is dark and dramatic with flashes of neon. The creative cocktails feature ingredients like lettuce cordial and Parmesan water and arrive at your table impressively quickly. Pair them with Asian-inspired snacks like shrimp dumplings or octopus-filled bao.
