6. Bar at Bohanan's

The Bar at Bohanan's is a frequent backup plan for people who don't have a reservation for the upstairs Bohanan's Prime Steaks and Seafood. No, it's not quite the same as a full steakhouse experience, but access to excellent small bites and some of the steakhouse menu will leave most folks plenty satisfied. Beyond that, the bar is a destination for thoughtfully conceived cocktails, a curated beer and wine selection and some of the city's best bar staff. The legacy of the late Sasha Petraske, a well-known bartender and original advisor to the bar, is carried on with attention to detail. Experience live jazz 7-10 p.m. every Friday and Saturday. 219 E. Houston St., #275, (210) 472-2202, bohanans.com.
