Vault & Vator

Vault & Vator, the brainchild of the former owners of the beloved American Grocery, is the purest example of a bar in every sense of the word. The entrance is nondescript, the lighting is dim, and the speakeasy vibe transports you back to another era in American history. The cocktails are phenomenal and, while there is technically a food menu, this is not a place you come to hungry. Vault & Vator is for drinking and, to that point, drinking really, really well. There are some rules to the joint â€" no cell phones, proper attire, and no Red Bulls â€" and they are all tailored to maximize the experience of going to a bar where the drinking is taken seriously.
