Named after the Prohibition-era congressman, this Uptown bar has a speakeasy aesthetic with solid cocktails and a good whiskey selection. It's a reliable spot for a quieter, more grown-up Uptown experience away from the rowdier bar strips. The space is intimate and the staff is knowledgeable, though it can feel a bit formulaic on busy nights.
