Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas's cocktail bar is one of the most inventive drinking experiences in the country, treating cocktails with the same molecular precision as fine dining. The 'In the Rocks' cocktail — served inside a sphere of ice — is a must-order. Reservations are strongly recommended and the experience is expensive, but it genuinely delivers on the hype.
