a falta de un amor, un bandido por favor
i. the bar
A cocktail bar in River North. Vintage interior, candlelit. The drinks change with the season and never with the trend.
ii. the namesake
The drink the bar was built around. Order it once. Order it again. Printed on the menu in the same spot every month.
iii. the loft
The loft above the bar, and the mezcal bar along its back wall. Walk up when there's space — or, four or more, buy the table and have it waiting.
iv. the alibi
No remorse. The conversations are the alibi.
Off-menu nights. New drinks. Occasional trouble.
