The Cloak Bar

The King West restaurant Marben has a secret. It's The Cloak, which is found down the stairwell between its bar and kitchen, and then you must go through a heavy curtain (like a magician's cloak) to enter. (If anything is more exciting than going into a secret room as an adult, we don't know what it is.) This hidden gem is very old school and even nods to the fact on its social media with black and white photos. Dimly lit, there are tons of British colonial drinks, along with giant punchbowls for people who like to share. Relaxing and cool.
