Twelve Mile Limit is the quintessential neighborhood bar done right — unpretentious, affordable, and serving genuinely excellent cocktails to a loyal local crowd. Named after a Prohibition-era cocktail, the bar punches well above its price point with creative drinks and a welcoming atmosphere. The Twelve Mile Limit cocktail (rum, rye, brandy, grenadine, lemon) is a must. Parking can be tricky and it's a bit off the beaten path, but that's exactly the point.
