Welton Room

This elegant bar originally opened in 2019, serving libations that were as much a show as a drink. The bartenders often use smoking wood chips, whipped foam, liquid nitrogen and other flair to create eye-catching concoctions. There was just one problem: The bar was on the small side, so in 2022 it expanded into the Monkey Lounge at Welton Room, which remains cocktail-focused but also has a kitchen.
