Smuggler's Cove is an award-winning tiki and rum bar with an extraordinary collection of over 550 rums and a menu of meticulously researched tropical cocktails. The multi-level space is decked out in nautical and pirate paraphernalia that somehow feels immersive rather than cheesy. Lines can form outside on busy nights, but the experience is worth it.
