Located next door to the beautiful 5th Avenue Theatre in the 1926 Skinner Building, this stylish bar is my favorite downtown drinking establishment.

But for those who worship a well-mixed cocktail, Vessel is a godsend. With five different kinds of ice, seasonal fruits, custom foams and subtle tinctures, you're bound to find a new taste experience....
