Lost Boy Dry Goods

Why we ranked it a top bar:

Editorial rating: 7.8/10
Price: $$$
Best for: downtown after-work drinks, casual dates, hospitality workers
Best night: weekday evening

Lost Boy Dry Goods hides behind vintage general-store charm and becomes part speakeasy, part dive, part downtown living room. The report notes its hybrid identity and hospitality-worker crowd.

It is a bar for people who like a little mischief in the architecture. Not everything must gleam. Some rooms need to look as if they have already heard the story you are about to tell.
