Blinky’s Bar

Blinky's takes its name from the owner's cat, and the drink list runs with the joke, naming each cocktail after a high school yearbook superlative: a passionfruit daiquiri is the Best Dressed, a blue cosmopolitan the Class Clown. The Grand Street bar has an ivy-covered backyard and a rotation of DJ sets and comedy shows. Weeknights bring dogs and families before 9pm; weekends shift to drag brunches and themed parties, and the room fills up by 8.
