​Paawan Engineer’s new city speakeasy has a glimmer of gimmick: you enter through a giant mirrored door in what’s meant to emulate a 19th-century dressing room. But what lies beyond is a cocktail bar serious about what’s in your glass. Once your eyes adjust to the flickering candlelight, survey the collection of old-timey knick-knacks then sink into a chesterfield with an Old Fashioned, or something similarly classy and classic.
