One of the big problems with the cocktail scene is that places get packed and you can find yourself waiting an hour or more to get in. Worse yet, most don't take reservations, especially if you are just two. Considering the outside temps these days, waiting on the sidewalk is not really an option either.
One place has decided to go the reservation route, at least early in the week. Raines Law Room is now taking reservations Sunday - Tuesday. You need to email reservations@raineslawroom.com by 3pm day of with a phone number they can reach you at. Weds through Saturday is still first come, first served.
But surely you say, it's January and pretty slow - perfect to slip into a cocktail bar. Uh, not so fast. Early last week we tried to get into PDT but found it impossible while Death & Co quoted us a wait of 45 minutes. Even newbie Mayahuel was packed with only a couple of open tables. We're talking 8pm on a weeknight between the holidays and everything was jammed. So our recommendation is email Raines Law Room if you're heading out early in the week.
