With so many cocktail bars to choose from in big cities like NYC, Chicago, Boston, or L.A., making a decision can be a tough call. Here are 5 helpful tips for choosing cocktail bars to help you narrow down your selection!<\/span><\/p>\n

5 Tips for Choosing Cocktail Bars<\/span><\/h2>\n

No matter where you\u2019re at, these five tips can be applied to any lounge you might be considering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

\"choosingSome cocktail bars source local, fresh ingredients and rotate their cocktails throughout the season. In general, these lounges are aimed at cocktail enthusiasts. Their menus may be more experimental than the average lounge. If you\u2019re looking for a truly unique drink, then a specialty lounge is certain to deliver.<\/p>\n

When a cocktail lounge takes pride in the ingredients used, you have found a place that prioritizes the drink as an art form as well as a unique experience. If nothing else, you\u2019ll likely have the freshest tasting cocktail in town!<\/p>\n

Location<\/h2>\n

This tip is pretty straightforward. When choosing cocktail bars, take note of where it\u2019s located in relation to your home or hotel. You want to pick a place that\u2019s not too far out of the way in case you need to take a taxi home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a location in reasonable distance also plays into safety considerations. Your friends and family can quickly meet you if your safety comes into any kind of question.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s maximum comfortable distance is going to be different. Think about what you\u2019re OK with, and always go with your gut instinct.<\/span><\/p>\n

Menu<\/h2>\n

When planning a party, you\u2019ll quickly notice that everyone\u2019s taste is very different. Accommodating everyone\u2019s palate can be a challenge. That\u2019s when looking at the menu of your potential lounge is most useful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Check to see if the lounge in question has wine for Kendra and vegan options for Larry in addition to great cocktails. Rule out the lounges that have too narrow a menu, or don\u2019t have food or drink options to make everyone happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Affordability<\/h2>\n

The combination of \u2018affordability\u2019 and \u2018cocktails\u2019 probably seems like an oxymoron. In fact, even high end cocktail bars range in price. If affordability is a factor you\u2019ll need to consider when planning your outing, then you can easily rule out top-end cocktail bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that resources like Yelp and Google can help you quickly filter out expensive lounges and fine-tune your options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mixology<\/h2>\n

At first glance, mixology may seem like a fancy way of saying \u2018making cocktails\u2019. In fact, mixology is its own separate art form, elevating cocktails from art to masterpieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mixology uses innovative techniques and unique combinations of ingredients to create works of art for diners. If you want a truly unique experience, then look for a lounge that advertises itself as having a mixologist on staff or specializes in mixology.<\/span><\/p>\n
