Gilligan's at the Soho Grand Hotel
Slipping spots mostly for being relatively unproven, Gilligan's at the Soho Grand has got everything you want in a beach bar that's not actually at the beach: sneaky-strong pitchers of frozen cocktails, a crowd that's much more attractive than your normal friends, and wood-fired feasts to bolster the stomach.
