Larry’s at The Lawrence House

Larry’s feels like a mix between a speakeasy and your cool friend’s living room. The cocktails are carefully crafted without being pretentious, and the bartenders take real pride in their work. Luke, if he’s there, is one of the best in the city. The drinks are balanced, the lighting is just right, and the crowd is low-key. You can grab a sandwich from across the street and enjoy it here with your drink, which is a huge plus. The vibe is stylish but relaxed, with good music that doesn’t drown out your conversation. It's a rare kind of spot that feels both old school and fresh. A total win for Uptown.
