Into the alley mid-Dairy Block, up the stairs, onto the elevator, down a narrow subterranean hallway, through a door in an etched glass wall you'll discover Run For The Roses (RFTR), a swank cocktail lounge that projects both a cozy intimacy and light, sleek aesthetic. RFTR's libation menu is a deck of cards, each card featuring a cocktail and its ingredients, classic to contemporary. Down for a beverage adventure? Shuffle the deck and order whatever lands on top. There's no wrong choice. If booze leaves you peckish in the very early morning hours, there are "parlor snacks" to help with that. RFTR is not just about the cocktails, though they make the place unquestionably worthy of a visit. It's also about the cozy, casual and welcoming vibe.
