When owner Sean Kenyon grabbed the address next to award-winning speakeasy Williams & Graham in order to create a more casual bar, he wondered if Occidental would mostly function as a waiting room for its sibling. But this bar has created an identity and a following all its own. Occidental’s punk-rock vibe and open seating have made it a neighborhood mainstay, a casual place to get an excellent cocktail or a beer without pretense.
