The Top 14 Places to Drink Near Gran Bar Danzón
-
A refrigerator door in the back of a flower shop swings open after 8pm, and suddenly you're in a large underground cocktail bar. The speakeasy conceit is well-worn by now, but the gin program gives it something real to say: a co-founder helped create Príncipe de los Apóstoles, the Argentine gin built on yerba mate and eucalyptus. It ranked on the World's 50 Best Bars list, which tracks for a room this committed to the bit.

The unmarked entrance and exposed brick suggest a place that has been setting the template long enough to stop explaining itself. Gran Bar Danzón is a cocktail bar near the business district, which means the afterwork crowd fills the long, backlit bar early and the well-traveled hotel guests follow. The room tries slightly harder than it needs to, but the ambiance lands anyway, which is probably the truest sign of an old-school institution.

Rank 9. Doppelgänger
Cocktail Bar
The menu says "this is not for everyone," and that's not false modesty: Doppelgänger stocks no beer, no wine, just a serious collection of spirits and vermouths. The cocktail bar pulls its look from 1920s and 30s Paris, Berlin, and New York, and it carries the attitude to match. Over 70 house originals share space with the classics, made with seasonal fruit and local ingredients. Come knowing what you want, or come ready to be told.

A cocktail bar in Palermo where Jules Verne sets the dress code: expect brass fittings, moody lighting, and a menu built around the cities Phileas Fogg visited in 80 days. The drinks do the traveling so you don't have to. Beer, wine, and gourmet hot dogs round things out for anyone who prefers to stay grounded. It draws a crowd most nights, so arriving early is the Fogg-approved strategy.

No sign outside, just a number that matches the address and a bouncer who'll point you right. Ocho7Ocho is a cocktail bar in Palermo that started as a speakeasy with a velvet-rope attitude, though the days of auditioned guest lists are long gone. The front room is roomy and deliberately scruffy, with classic rock and soul played loud enough to make conversation an achievement.

A convincing brick wall at the back of the café slides open to reveal a dim steampunk warehouse behind it, complete with a giant backlit clock all cogs and gears above the bar. Victoria Brown is a bar in Palermo that moonlights as a Victorian café by day, then leans into the theatre after dark. Old-fashioned armchairs cluster around the room, and the crowd on weekends skews young and dressed for it.
