Rank 6. Bardo Lounge & Supper Club
Supper Club Cocktail Bar
Bardo is a supper club that commits fully to the 1960s bit, and somehow pulls it off without feeling like a theme restaurant. Cozy alcoves, vintage metal tray tables, couples dressed just a little better than they needed to, and punch bowls doing serious work. The food leans into the nostalgia too, but the kitchen sneaks in enough unexpected moves to keep things interesting. If you can't decide, just hand the wheel to the chef.
